This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttle. Isometric™ : Enlarged Sweet Spot ISOMETRICTM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRICTM design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRICTM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRICTM delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRICTM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD. *Tested by Yonex Soft Feel Core: Cuts Vibration The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan. AERO+BOX Frame Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing. ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM : Counterbalanced Weight Distribution By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly, with rapid succession. Slim Shaft: Extra Slim Shaft Thinnest, Strongest Ever Produced by Yonex Cutting edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-tough, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot. Energy Boost CAP PLUS Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance.The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.
