Leave your opponents vulnerable with the

most powerful racquet series Yonex has
to offer.

BLACK MICRO CORE

VOLTRIC FB
Lightweight racquet that provides a solid feel and excellent power.

ITEM CODE VT-FB

VOLTRIC racquets get their immense power
and speed from the innovative TRI-VOLTAGE
SYSTEM. The system combines intelligent
head weighting, frame flex, and aerodynamics
to generate explosive force without
compromising speed or control.
POWER: the stiff structure at the top of the
frame allows the head to flex in a controlled
way, holding the shuttle on the string bed.
AGILITY: the weight applied to the top of the
frame and joint area provides great handling
while maintaining head-heavy power.

The NANOSCIENCE technology allows Yonex to alter the
for enhanced strength.
structure of the materials in the racquet to build strength,
*NANOMETRIC material applies the NANOALLOYTM
flex and power exactly where it’s needed. That’s what gives Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.

Yonex racquets the leading edge.

NANOMESH + NANOAIR SPRING

CARBON NANOTUBE
Unique structural carbon
materials are an integral part
of the frames and shafts of
the NANORAY racquet series,
resulting in sharper handling,
greater repulsion power, and
increased strength.
Tiny air pockets in the racquet’s
carbon structure act like a spring,
providing improved energy
transfer from the string-bed to
the shuttle for powerful shots.

NANOCELL
Finely mixed nano-sized bubbles greatly reduce impact stress on the
1/1,000m 1/1,000,000,000m racquet, resulting in improved durability.

MATERIAL

This original high quality material
was developed by Yonex to exceed
the repulsion and shock absorption
properties of normal materials.
Sound Filter
Intimidate your opponent with
an aggressive sound of a Yonex
racquet equipped with Sound
Filter. Using material engineered
into the racquet frame, the
technology filters only the sound
required for a powerful and
commanding tone during play.
EX-HMG/SUPER HMG
This ultra-elastic graphite material
increases repulsion, putting sharper
power into smashes, drives,
clears and many other shots.
VIBSLAYER CARBON is a
material incorporated into the
bottom-half of the DUORA 6
frame. Made with ultra-thin
layers of shock-absorbing
material* between layers of
carbon, players experience the
same level of repulsion power
generated by normal carbon
with greatly reduced shock
impact, cutting down on fatigue
and stress on the body.
*VIBSLAYER CARBON utilizes shock-absorbing
materials developed by Toray Industries, Inc.
SONIC METAL
An ultra-stiff material
incorporated into the lower part
of the frame. SONIC METAL gives
an aggressive snap-back effect,
increasing repulsion power and
producing an attacking sound.
TOUGHLEX is a ‘sticky’ resin
which delivers high flexibility
and intensity. High resilience
and flexibility help players
to hit easy clear shots.
NICKEL-TITANIUM FIBER
Contained in the outer-most
edge of the DUORA 10’s AERO
Frame, this titanium material
provides increased stiffness in
the racquet frame along with
strong form retention, allowing
for quick repulsion.
IC Elastomer
Found throughout the inside of the
DUORA 7 frame, this soft elastomer
material increases shuttle hold
and accumulates energy.
The overall frame is made to
be lighter with a majority of the
weight being shifted to the grip
area. This results in a head light
design which puts more weight
into players’ hands and increases
acceleration on swings.
LIGHT Feel CARBON NEO
Combining rubber particles with
carbon fibre generates a light feel
and flexibility at impact.

Adding more weight, carbon fibre will have

This innovative grommet pattern
allows strings to run horizontally,
creating greater flex in the string
bed providing an enlarged sweet
spot at the top of the frame, in
the smallest head yet.
SBZ (Snap Back Zone)
The slimmer section in the
middle of the frame incorporates
an elastic material called
EX-HMG. This allows the frame
to flex more on impact, repelling
the shuttle at astonishing speeds.
SOLID FEEL CORE
All Japan-made racquets use a
shock-absorbing core to eliminate
harmful vibrations travelling
through the shaft.
TRI-iBUMPER
The tungsten infused grommet
helps maximize contact time
between the shuttle and strings,
giving more power.
MEGA Frame
Due to its unique large-frame
design, the MEGA Frame further
enlarges the already large sweet
spot provided by ISOMETRIC.
Compared with an ordinary
racquet, the MEGA Frame
provides a 34% larger sweet
spot for greater reach and more
effective off-centre hits.
34
AERO+BOX Frame
AERO and BOX Frame profiles
are combined on some racquets
for a faster swing with a more
solid feel.
DELTA POWER FRAME
YONEX applied the technologies
of Aerodynamic Shape and Box
Shape to the Delta Power Frame,
which creates a stable and solid
hitting face without sacrificing
its power.
Compact Frame
The smaller frame size further
reduces unwanted air resistance
and improves feel.
DURA Frame
The engineered DURA Frame
profile on Yonex aluminium
racquets gives them incredible
strength and a solid feel.
AERO+BOX Variframe
Aerodynamic contouring of the
top of the frame minimizes air
resistance, transferring more
speed and power into your shots.
The unique grommet pattern
allows strings to run vertically
through to the string bed, adding
more flex and creating a wider,
enlarged sweet spot.
NEW Grommet Pattern
Our single-pass grommet
design has more holes
than a conventional racquet
for a higher-performance
stringing pattern.
MUSCLE POWER Frame
Frames with MUSCLE POWER
have a smoother arched string
seat that reduces stress, helping
strings to last longer.
Super Slim Frame
This thin frame provides greater
head speed and a solid feel.
DX Frame
Features a wider trench to reduce
impact shock by distributing
weight pressure over a larger
area. It is also thicker and able
to stretch under pressure so that
impact shock is spread over the
whole frame.

Full Cushion Sole+S
Taking the shock-absorbent properties and
high repulsion of the POWER CUSHION to
the next level, Full Cushion Sole+S features
POWER CUSHION throughout the entire
midsole. This increased level of cushioning
results in reduced stress on the ankle and
heel for a pleasant fit.
Flexion Upper
An asymmetrical upper design in which
eyelets in the upper shoe follow the curved
shape of the instep, hugging the foot.
This allows all the stress on landing to be
absorbed through the toes and instep.
3D Power Graphite Sheet
3D Power Graphite Sheet is equipped to
provide robust reinforcement under and
outside the centre of the foot, reducing
shoe twist.
Toe Assist Shape
A toe-centric design that cuts down on
pressure in the big toe, as well as offering
improved support at the mid-foot and heel
for a stable fit. Power loss is reduced,
allowing for swift footwork.
Upper
Tough GuardTM III: Extremely durable wear-resistant
synthetic leather.
Durable Skin: A polyurethane material offering
improved high shape retention, wear-resistance
and heat-resistance.
Double Russel Mesh: Highly breathable open mesh.
Lateral Shell: Installed on the outer area of the upper,
it prevents sliding at the edge of the sole. It reduces
power loss, increases footwork response and creates
smooth, fluid and offensive movement.
Ergoshape: Removes pressure and provides a
comfortable fit around the toes. Centre of gravity
is shifted to the large toe – where most power is
concentrated – for a painless fit that offers more
speed in your step.
Midsole
ToughBrid Light: The new ToughBrid Light offers
an 11% drop in weight from the previous ToughBrid,
while maintaining its cushioning, shape retention
and high elasticity.
Hyper msLite: Features a 10% reduction in weight
over the past Super Feather Lite midsole material,
while preserving a consistent shape over a long
period of time.
Power Graphite Lite: A graphite plate placed under
the metatarsus for reduced weight as well as
stability on landing.
Insole
Synchro-Fit Insole: Offering extra support around the
front of the heel and reducing the gap between the foot
and shoe, the Synchro-Fit Insole ensures maximum
grip and improves comfort and performance.
Sole
Hexagrip: For agile and stable footwork, the Hexagrip
pattern provides 3% more grip and is 20% lighter than
standard sole material.
Round Sole: The Yonex Round Sole is designed to
provide all-round support for quick and smooth
footwork. The Round Sole ensures smooth movements
and the transfer of maximum energy.
