ACCURATE SENSORY FEEDBACK

The new SERVO FILTER reduces unwanted vibrations while continuing to transmit the essential vibrations that provide valuable feedback about the ball.

IMPROVED BALL-POCKETING

The FlexCon System allows the racquet shaft to flex and extend the ball pocketing duration, making it easier for players to control and place the ball accurately.

STABLE BALL TRAJECTORY

The frame features more layers* of graphite to increase rigidity of the racquet face. This stabilizes the face at impact and brings consistency to desired ball trajectories.

*Compared to previous control-oriented racquet models

TECHNOLOGY

ISOMETRIC

When compared to a conventional round frame, the square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet possesses a 7% larger sweet spot*. This results in a more forgiving racquet for improved playability.

*Tested by Yonex

SERVO FILTER

PROPERTIES:

A transparent and elastic film placed between graphite layers helps bond the layers while maintaining its elastic characteristics even after the molding process. This unique film also absorbs unwanted vibrations, providing multiple benefits to the racquet.

RESULT:

Provides fine-tuned flex and snapback to each shot.
Reduces unwanted vibrations by 14%, delivering precise sensory feedback from the ball to the hand.

*Tested by Yonex

FLEXCON SYSTEM

PROPERTIES:

The tapered and elongated box frame allows the shaft to flex comfortably, extending the ball-pocketing duration for more feel and control.

RESULT:

15%* more flexibility on the racquet shaft

*Tested by Yonex

2G-NAMD FLEX FORCE

This highly elastic graphite allows the racquet frame to flex and snap back quickly.

To achieve ball-pocketing without sacrificing power, the FLEXCON SYSTEM uses proprietary materials, 2G-Namd Flex Force and SERVO FILTER to balance frame flex and launch velocity.

STIFF RACQUET FACE DESIGN

PROPERTIES:

The frame employs more layers* of graphite to increase rigidity of the racquet face.

*Compared to previous control-oriented racquet models

RESULT:

3% more stability on the racquet face, providing improved consistency in ball trajectory.
