More Powerful Shots and Maximized Face Stability
RDiS series racquets with a 17% wider shaft base, increase stiffness and the shaft's ability to resist twisting forces at impact. In addition, the cross section of the top of the frame provides advanced face stability for a solid feel at impact and increased control.

New Grommet System Provides A Solid Feel.
With a 18% deeper channel at the top and side of the frame, making it thicker and more cushioned, RDiS series racquets provide a comfortable feel at ball impact.

By making the sweet spot larger at the top and bottom of the racquet, the speed and accuracy of the serves from a higher hitting point will increase so that it will be easier to hit volleys, even in a difficult situation.

10% bigger sweetspot than an ordinary round head racquet

The ISOMETRIC square head shape reduces the inert space found in a conventional round frame. As a result, the racquet is easier to swing through and has superior manoeuvrability.

The sweetspot is the area of a racquet where the longest main and longest cross strings meet in the stringbed. In an ordinary roundframe racquet, the sweetspot is where the 8 main and 11 cross strings meet.

In the YONEX ISOMETRIC square head racquet, 10 main and 13 cross strings meet in the stringbed to produce a sweetspot that is 10% larger than the effective hitting area of a conventional round head racquet.

The new material Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube is applied in the racquet frame which enables to give the players right amount of flex to stay with the ball, and quick repulsion to make the full energy available for power return.

The Aero Shape of RQiS Series racquets creates more frame thickness for higher repulsion. Compared with a conventional frame, the Aero Shape creates a thinner, more flexible shaft that sends hits downcourt with more top spin. The YONEX Aero Shape together with the Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube structure, instant-recovery Elastic Ti frame, and Dual OPS shaft create racquets that deliver the perfect mix of speed, power and control.

The YONEX AERO-BOX VARI FRAME combines the aerodynamic profile of a frame head that is pared on the sides for a quicker swing-through in any situation-with a squared upper and lower frame section and additional Tungsten IPS weighting for 15% more weight and face stability than an ordinary racquet. The AERO-BOX VARI FRAME reduces wind drag by 10% compared with a standard air-flow pattern, maximizing the power of the swing and the transfer of energy to the ball. In addition, besides high anti-torque performance for extra power with control, the AERO-BOX VARI FRAME's extended dwell time makes it easier to create high-speed tactical shots that sizzle with spin.

RDS Racquets feature soft grommets in the corners of the frame. These function to reduce the shock of off-centre hits which, in effect, widens the sweetspot further still.

RDS002 Racquet incorporate the YONEX Soft Grommet II

construction - a construction featuring Soft Grommets plus an additional high-strength plate for greater durability and protection against damage when the frame strikes the ground.

Elastic Ti charges the shaft for power, velocity and better control

YONEX Nano-scale Elastic Ti is the only alloy providing racquet qualities once considered impossible - extremely low elasticity and extremely high strength together.

Elastic Ti is 44% less elastic and 8% stronger compared with the previous best Ti alloy.

The lower a shaft's elasticity, the more it flex it provides and the higher its strength, the more resiliency it delivers.

The YONEX "3D Carbon Sheet" integrated into the shaft provides more face stability than a conventional carbon shaft and 12% more racquet manoeuvrability. 3D Carbon sheet

By weaving carbon fibers in 3 directions, the pulling strength is equalized in 3 directions meaning the shaft has greater resistance to twisting forces. 3D Shaft

The shaft is sculpted into a 'surf board' like shape to provide advanced face stability.

The front of the shaft is 14% wider that a conventional racquet's. The wider YONEX shaft increases the racquet's ability to provide high repulsion power, manoeuvrability and to generate solid and stable shots at full swing.

The YONEX unitized box and triangular cross-section produces more head speed for nimble manoeuvrability and a solid feel at impact.

10% more spin, 7% faster ball speed, 110% on your game.

The YONEX Muscle Power construction seats the string on rounded corners rather than a sharp angle, so the frame maintains stringing tension longer than an ordinary frame.

O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) technology builds into the throat, the right amount of flex for an extended dwell time for easier spin and directional control.

The torque-suppressing performance of YONEX Titanium Mesh minimizes twisting of the head at impact, increasing stability for more effective hits even when shots leave the stringbed off-centre.

YONEX integrates Shockless Grommets at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize the muscle fatigue of long play. In addition to their ability to protect the wrist, forearm and elbow by absorbing shock, Shockless Grommets provide a soft feel at impact.

I.P.S. (Integrated Power Weight System) positions extra weight at the sides of the frame to give the face a greater moment of inertia.

The YONEX Nano-scale silver compound, an integral component of the grip construction, provides a combination of a high level of comfort and built-in antibacterial performance for the hand.

Super Cushion Grip minimizes vibration. The grip's cushioning performance helps protect the wrist, forearm and elbow against shockinduced injuries.

3-in-1 performance provides 30% more protection against shock and 5% more repulsion.
In contrast with the YONEX Power Cushion, which absorbs shock at a single point on its surface, the new 3-Layer Power Cushion absorbs shock across its entire 3-layer construction. The hard top and bottom layers absorb 30% more shock than our original Power Cushion and 5% more repulsion for enhanced transfer of energy. The soft middle layer quickly returns to its original shape after receiving a shock load, converting the shock energy into power for fast and light footwork.

The YONEX Round Sole is designed to provide all-around support for quick and smooth footwork. The Round Sole integrated into the shoe minimizes power loss, ensuring smooth movements and the transfer of maximum energy.

Power Cushion Insole MC provides support inside the shoe to control lateral movement. Because there is no lateral movement to diminish power, more speed and power are transferred into every movement.

The Super Ergoshape provides maximum forefoot and toe comfort. The narrower heel and instep area ensure firmness for comfortable play.

Double Russel Mesh
Double Russel Mesh is an ultra fine mesh that is extremely lightweight and durable. It provides eight times more air-exchange for releasing moisture than ordinary mesh fabric.

A Power Graphite Plate paired with a solid EVA material prevents lateral movement of the foot inside the shoe during fast side steps.

Because Tough Guard III is three times stronger than ordinary synthetic leather, it proves more resistance against heat for longer comfort and performance.

The msLite polymer-base midsole is lighter and 20% more durable than ordinary EVA. The higher durability means YONEX shoes keep their original shape longer for longer cushioning performance.

This 2-in-1 sole-material integrates high-quality rubber to protect the parts of the feet that receive a high stress load during play and a new super-lightweight sole terial for the unstressed areas of the feet for faster and lighter footwork.

Super msLite is a high performance construction featuring a polymer-base midsole that is 10% lighter than even very light YONEX msLite shoes. In addition, the Super msLite construction is 20% more durable than ordinary EVA, so original comfort and shape are retained longer.

Comfort Pattern: Comfort pattern provides a comfortable feel at impact and effortless power.

Speed Parttern: Speed pattern provides a solid feel at impact with greater ball speed.

You can tune your racquet whichever way you want, whatever the temperature, surface or condition of your match.

ToughLex

Different from conventional synthetic resin which stacks carbon fibre against each other, the new resin; Toughlex has more flexibility and it durability.

Inserting the Toughlex into the whole racquet frame creates a more powerful shot. As a result, players can make a stronger spin shot with longer ball dwell time.

ToughBrid

YONEX has created the midsole material "TOUGHBRID". Molecules are stacked tightly together providing higher elasticity and form-keeping, whilst maitaining the priginal cushioning for longer. Players feel the same level of comfort and achieve superior levels of footwork.

Delta Support System

Develop your footwork with an invisible force. The new "Delta Support System" unites the inside of the shoe with the lace to provide maximum support. Creating a holding feel and integrating the foot with the shoe, it encourages more alert and agile footwork - run, stop and offence.
