to see which range of Yonex rackets would suit: Yonex rackets still dominate the badminton rackets market. It is still the market leading brand with rackets not just at
the premium end, but also a number of new models that are very competitively priced to challenge the so called lesser brands.
If you can buy a genuine Yonex for £50-£100...why would you want to buy another brand ? The majority of pros worldwide
use Yonex product to winning effect.
Find it all confusing? Here's a graph that charts current Yonex rackets according to their balance and repulsion/hold behaviour.
Choose head heavy rackets for powerful attacking shots, especially on smashes and headlight balance for faster swing and greater control.
The other scale indicates rackets that "hold" the energy on contact with the shuttle and release it like an arrow allowing pin point accuracy
and on the other end of the scale, rackets that distort less on strike for cleaner and more powerful shots.
Further below, all the racket family/series have been described so you know what characteristics its members share and to help you further,
a video by Yonex UK will attempt to simplify all the technology for you.
Racket series:
Voltric
Voltric rackets combine aerodynamic profile, thin shaft, head heavy balance and Tri-Voltic system in the frame to offer exceptional power as well as speed.
Suited for aggressive players who rely on dictating rallies with offensive shots.
In our opinion this the best all-rounder, but offers particular help from the back of the court and is the most comfortable racket to use because of its
vibration dampening properties.
Nanoray
NanoRay marks the newest chapter in Yonex's tradition of producing the fastest badminton rackets to match the speed of the sport.
It takes the fundamentals of the Nanospeed series and pushes to the next level with the introduction of Aero Frame
which is thinner on towards the top to be more aerodynamic while thicker towards the bottom for increased
stiffness and repulsion power.
In our opinion this range is the best bet for fast doubles play as it has a head light balance and is more flexible than the Nanospeed range,
so will appeal to a wider range of players.
ArcSaber
ArcSaber rackets are modelled around "Cupstack Nanotube", a material that allows racket to hold the energy on impact and release it like an arrow to make for
powerful but precise shots. Suited for all-rounders who rely on accuracy as well as power to finish off points.
In our opinion this range is perfect for all round power and accuracy for singles play.
The range is quite stiff and will suit advanced players.
NanoSpeed
NanoSpeed rackets facilitate a faster swing and sharp offensive play via exceptionally light head.
Recommended for players seeking subtle control and more repulsion power.
In our opinion this range will suit advanced players looking for a stiff but head light racket.
Perfect for the advanced doubles player with a fast style.
Armortec
Inspite of the light body, Armortec generates powerful attacking shots and high level face stability for players who seek maximum power.
In our opinion this range is still one of the best all round ranges. Its head heavy balance being specially helpful from the back of the court. More feel than the more recent Voltric range.
