Yonex Badminton Racquets

Genuine Yonex rackets from an authorized dealer in Petaling Jaya.

Yonex names its lines by what they do. Astrox frames are head-heavy and built around the steep smash. Nanoflare frames are head-light and built around racket speed - fast defence, quick exchanges at the net. Arcsaber sits balanced between them and is the usual recommendation for a player who does a bit of everything. Voltric is the older power line, and Duora used a dual-sided frame with a different profile on the forehand and backhand faces.

Weight codes run 3U (heavier, more mass behind the shot) to 5U (lighter, faster to swing), with most adult players on 4U. Grip sizes run G4 (larger) to G6 (smaller); G5 is standard here.
