Yonex Badminton Rackets

Yonex was founded in 1946 by Minoru Yoneyama as a producer of wooden floats for fishing nets. The company was later forced out of this market because of the invention of plastic floats. This led to a commitment by Yoneyama to never again be left behind by technological advancements. In 1957, Yoneyama began to make badminton rackets for other brands. By 1961, the first Yoneyama branded badminton racket was introduced, and within another two years an export company was created for the worldwide distribution of his badminton rackets. After the company began to make aluminum badminton rackets in 1969, they found that the same technology could be applied to the tennis racket which they introduced in 1971. The company began to experiment with graphite shafts for both types of rackets and found that these would also be useful for golf clubs. Finding a growing market, the Yonex Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary) was established in Torrance, California in July, 1983. In 1992 Yonex introduced the widebody badminton racket the "Isometric 500", this badminton racket was much less "tear drop" shaped than previous badminton racket designs. The more "square" (isometric) head of the racket gave it a much larger striking surface. Yonex used the isometric shapped head in all their badminton rackets. Yonex's dominance in the badminton market has led other manufacturers to follow suit in its isometric racket shape designs.

Yonex badminton rackets are renouned for being lightweight, with top quality badminton rackets weighing between about 80 - 90 grams. Yonex has become one of the leading manufacturers of badminton rackets and equipment in the last few decades. They are most famous in the badminton industry for introducing the isometric shaped head, which provides a larger "sweet spot" for hitting the shuttle. Yonex's latest badminton racket technology includes the nanospeed series, armortec series and much more recently the arcsaber range which combine with the isometric head shapes to produce some of the most prominent badminton rackets in the world.

Yonex Armortec Badminton Rackets

The secret behind the yonex armortec badminton racket is gForce Ti; an advanced hybrid material developed by yonex for the armortec badminton racket range. It is designed to enhance the racket's frame acceleration of gravity performance. As a result the Yonex Armortec badminton rackets generate 4% more speed, better face stability and provide a robust metallic feel upon impact.

The top end Yonex armortec badminton rackets, the armortec 900 power and armortec 900 technique, use Yonex's elastic Ti material to provide a powerful rebound effect which after impact allows the frame to 'snap-back' to its original shape launching the shuttlecock down the court with increased accuracy and power. In the Yonex Armortec 900 Power the elastic kick point is in the bottom of the frame alllowing aggressive badminton players to hit powerful smashes. The Yonex Armortec 900 Technique has the Elastic Ti at the top of the badminton racket which is suitable for control players enabling the badminton player to change the course of a point by counter-attacking and hitting a winning drive.

Yonex Muscle Power Badminton Rackets

Yonex Muscle Power badminton rackets have been around now for a long time, which is no bad thing as it is becoming as established in Yonex badminton as the isometric head shape, which is used in all Yonex rackets for the past 15 years! The muscle power grommet system allows greater energy transfer from the frame to the strings. Traditional badminton racket grommets gernerally reduce the amount of contact between string a frame, which results in a loss of power on impact with the badminton shuttle. Muscle Power badminton rackets provide full energy transfer from player to shuttle, all the time. Another trademark of Yonex Muscle Power badminton rackets is the built in t-joint. Moulded into the layers oof graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the yonex built in t-joint creates a durable and high-strength one-peice badminton frame that is touque free. This construction means that all yonex muscle power badminton rackets are more powerful and provide more control.
