The outside two mains on either side of this racquet should be finished using a standard Yonex double-back method. For this racquet, the double path is 9T to 12T to 15H to 13H to 10T before tying off at 8T.
Racquet Network is a member of the prestigious Yonex Stringing Team. We are invited to string at elite tennis and badminton events. While we cannot attend every event we are invited to, we do our best to help out when such events are in Alberta.
Yonex Co., LTD. is proud to introduce the new innovative badminton shoes, POWER CUSHION INFINITY. The unmatched performance of the POWER CUSHION+ construction meets the most secure fit of the double-dial Boa® Fit System, for faster more precise footwork.
The red Yonex Infinity is not available in Canada
Badminton is getting faster and more dynamic, with many players demanding a shoe that suits their speedy style of play. POWER CUSHION INFINITY utilizes the lace-less Boa® Fit System, with two dials allowing those quick, fine adjustments independently around both the toes and ankle for an unparalleled fit.
The black Infinity features a black sole.
In addition, the new 3D Power Graphite Sheet integrated within the sole increases stability without sacrificing comfort. Whilst the midsole contains POWER CUSHION+ cushioning which transforms the impact when jumping, running and lunging into energy. POWER CUSHION INFINITY supports aggressive footwork with a secure fit, stability and shock absorption.

A raw egg can be dropped from 12 meters above the POWER CUSHION+ mat, rebounding to a height of 6 meters without breaking. **Tested by YONEX** POWER CUSHION™ is a trademark of Yonex Co., Ltd. *Research by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association & Boken Quality Evaluation (based on JIS standards) in comparison to conventional cushioning material (EVA).
Boa Fit System
Create a precise fit from two simple dials. By analyzing the demands and movement of badminton players, two Boa® Fit System dials are positioned to secure the toes and ankle. The toe features a soft lace for flexible comfort and the dial on ankle tightens the sailcloth covering the instep securing the foot. It provides both dynamic footwork and comfort at the same time.
3D Power Graphite Sheet
A graphite plate is inserted under the middle portion of the sole to increase stability and reduce weight within the shoe.
The redesigned 3D Power Graphite Sheet positioned at the mid to outer part of the sole improves torsional rigidity where it is needed most.

We never recommend individual tennis string products nor do we rank them. We recommend string categories from which older players can pick a string that works best for their usage context.
The best overall tennis string category for most older players is 17 gauge soft strings, like multifilaments, synthetic guts and natural guts. All of the strings in this group are suitable for older players who are not frequent string breakers.
All tennis strings in this group are soft, powerful and playable. This is perfect combination for most older players. However, some older players — particularly singles players — may find that they need to move up to thicker 16 gauge strings.
