Toughlex
Different from conventional synthetic resin which stacks carbon fibre against each other, the new resin; Toughlex has more flexibility and it durability.
Inserting the Toughlex into the whole racquet frame creates a more powerful shot. As a result, players can make a stronger spin shot with longer ball dwell time.
Select Fit System
Speed or Comfort?
S-Fit's unique grommet structure allows you to choose between two contrasting stringing patterns for comfort or speed - it's up to you!
Comfort Pattern: Comfort pattern provides a comfortable feel at impact and effortless power.
Speed Parttern: Speed pattern provides a solid feel at impact with greater ball speed.
You can tune your racquet whichever way you want, whatever the temperature, surface or condition of your match.
Dual O.P.S.
Effortless Power
The Dual O.P.S [Oval Pressed Shaft] provides a more comfortable feel, sharper response from the string bed and higher repulsion power without increasing the frame thickness.
STABILITY TORSION CONTROL
RdiS Series racquets feature a 17% wider shaft base, which increases stiffness and the ability to resist twisting at impact. In addition, the cross section at the top of the frame provides advanced face stability for a solid feel at impact with more control.
FEEL CONTROL GROMMET
With an 18% deeper channel at the top and sides of the frame, making it thicker and more cushioned, RDiS Series racquets guarantee a comfortable feel from the strings at ball impact.
POWER ISOMETRIC
The 20% larger effective ISOMETRIC area in the heart of the frame allows
serves to be delivered with more speed and control from higher in the stringbed.
Introducing the next stage in the evolution of the YONEX ISOMETRIC theory. POWER ISOMETRIC is a wider ISOMETRIC area that increases the already large YONEX Square Head sweetspot by 20% compared with a conventional round head racquet. The construction yields more power and more repulsion. It reduces the inert space found in the conventional round frame but it keeps the sweetspot the same size. This makes the racquet easier to swing through and gives it topnotch manoeuvrability, as well.
Aero Shape
Aero Shape for high repulsion and heavy top spin
The Aero Shape of RQiS Series racquets creates more frame thickness for higher repulsion. Compared with a conventional frame, the Aero Shape creates a thinner, more flexible shaft that sends hits downcourt with more top spin. The YONEX Aero Shape together with the Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube structure, instant-recovery Elastic Ti frame, and Dual OPS shaft create racquets that deliver the perfect mix of speed, power and control.
ISOMETRIC
10% bigger sweetspot than an ordinary round head racquet
The ISOMETRIC square head shape reduces the inert space found in a conventional round frame. As a result, the racquet is easier to swing through and has superior manoeuvrability.
The sweetspot is the area of a racquet where the longest main and longest cross strings meet in the stringbed. In an ordinary roundframe racquet, the sweetspot is where the 8 main and 11 cross strings meet.
In the YONEX ISOMETRIC square head racquet, 10 main and 13 cross strings meet in the stringbed to produce a sweetspot that is 10% larger than the effective hitting area of a conventional round head racquet.

Cup-Stack Carbon Nanotube
The YONEX CS(Cup-Stack) Carbon Nanotube is an advanced fabric Nanotube that increases durability and flexibility. Each cup in a stack has the ability to move and flex independently at the point of impact, generating extra power and increasing ball dwell time for shots with more finesse and directional accuracy.

AERO-BOX VARIFRAME
YONEX's Aero-Box Vari Frame technology achieves a quick swing-through, generating high-velocity hits loaded with spin.
With a squared upper and lower frame section and additional I.P.S. weighting at the side of the frame, it provides 15% more face stability, 10% less air resistance and maximum swing power.
SOFT GROMMET
RDS Racquets feature soft grommets in the corners of the frame. These
function to reduce the shock of off-centre hits which, in effect, widens
the sweetspot further still.
SOFT GROMMET II
RDS002 Racquet incorporate the YONEX Soft Grommet II
construction - a construction featuring Soft Grommets plus an additional high-strength plate for greater durability and protection against damage when the frame strikes the ground.
Elastic Ti
Elastic Ti charges the shaft for power, velocity and better control
YONEX Nano-scale Elastic Ti is the only alloy providing racquet qualities once considered impossible - extremely low elasticity and extremely high strength together.
Elastic Ti is 44% less elastic and 8% stronger compared with the previous best Ti alloy.
The lower a shaft's elasticity, the more it flex it provides and the higher its strength, the more resiliency it delivers.
FLEX / TORSION CONTROL
The front of the shaft is 14% wider that a conventional racquet's. The
wider YONEX shaft increases the racquet's ability to provide high repulsion
power, manoeuvrability and to generate solid and stable shots at full
swing.
O.P.S.
O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) technology builds into the throat, the right
amount of flex for an extended dwell time for easier spin and directional
control.
SHOCKLESS GROMMET
YONEX integrates Shockless Grommets at the side and bottom of the frame
to minimize the muscle fatigue of long play. In addition to their ability
to protect the wrist, forearm and elbow by absorbing shock, Shockless
Grommets provide a soft feel at impact.
