Pre-strung with Yonex Demo Gut
This racquet comes from the factory pre-strung with a version of Yonex demo gut. Demo gut is put into racquets in order to help mass market sporting goods stores sell their racquets. The purpose of this string is to give the racquet shelf-appeal. Demo gut is not intended for players who will be playing games in which the points matter to them. Therefore, unless this racquet is being used by a child, we recommend restringing this racquet with quality Yonex badminton string immediately after purchase.

Racquet Technology
Aero+Box Frame
Yonex frames are contoured differently on different parts of the loop. Some areas feature an aerodynamic shape to reduce air resistance. Other areas feature a box shape to provide strength and power. This combination offers a quick swing with a solid feel.
Rotational Generator System
Yonex rotational generator system applies the counterbalance theory in Yonex racquets. Weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. This ensures a smooth and rapid transition to the next shot.
Isometric Head Shape
Yonex’ square-shaped ISOMETRIC frame shape is designed to keep vertical strings at a similar length. This shape produces a larger sweet spot in all directions.
Yonex Extra Slim Shaft
Energy Boost Cap
The new shape of the energy boost cap allows the shaft to flex, which ensures the maximum effect of “Namd (more flex and faster kick-back graphite material)” and stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft twisting, increasing control
Rexis
Rexis is a high-performance shaft precisely designed through and advanced molding technique with High-Quality, ingenuitive, Performance Graphite material.
