YONEX NANORAY SERIES TECHNOLOGY GUIDE
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Snap Back Zone:
The unique frame design of the NANORAY means that the frame is thinner at the midway point at either side of the racquet head. At this point, EX-HMG, the most elastic and powerful material ever, is used within the frame, allowing it to flex on impact and repel the shuttle with explosive acceleration and devastating power.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Revolutionary Frame Design:

Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket has Increased Swing Speed:
Swing Speed increased by 10%: Every element of the racquet has been designed to increase swing speed. A new frame cross section and ULTRA SLIM LONG SHAFT, together with cutting edge materials NANOMETRIC* and X-FULLERENE, make the NANORAY the most aerodynamic racquet that YONEX has ever produced./p>
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features New Smash Technology:

Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features X-Fullerene:
The new generation X-Fullerene has 4 radial ribs which unite carbon atoms to form a football-like structure. The X-Fullerene is used in the resin which bonds the carbon fibres and creates the cross-link construction. The tenfold increase in binding force makes it possible to create 5% higher repulsion power and 15% greater stability.

Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Sonic Metal:
Sonic Metal is an exceptionally strong, lightweight and flexible new titanium alloy which yonex positions at the top of the frame. This has two advantages. Firstly, it gives you a higher repulsion power, especially in attack. Secondly, it creates a clear strong sound when the shuttlecock is hit. This acoustic, combined with the dramatic increase in repulsion, will put your opponent under immediate pressure.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Nanometric Technology:
Nanometric improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibres enabling yonex take racquet shaft construction to another level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft to make it 60% thinner than a conventional racquet whilst retaining stiffness, yonex has created a revolutionary lightweight racquet with lightening head speed and control.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Trans-Weight System:
NANOMETRIC, in the construction of the frame, repositions weight from the head of the racquet to the grip. Nanoray with its head light construction gives you powerful, high speed, clear shots to unsettle your opponent.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Ultra Slim Shaft:
The Thinnest shaft with More Power: Inserting NANOPREME into the racquet shaft ensures greater stability compared to conventional racquets. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional racquets.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Ultra PEF Technology:
The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – ultra poly ethylene fibre – which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. These characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Extra Slim Shaft:
Extra slim shaft - Cutting edge Nanometric carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-tough, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Box and Aero Frame:
- Box frames are stronger and stiffer. It allows for more power transfer.
- Aero frame minimizes air resistance. With low air resistance player’s swing speed will increase.
- Yonex has applied the technologies of Aerodynamic Shape and Box Shape to the Delta Power Frame, creating a stable and solid hitting surface without sacrificing power.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Aero Dynamic Frame:
Aerodynamic contouring of the top of the frame minimizes air resistance so air flows faster across the curved surface during the swing, accelerating head speed and transferring more speed and power into hits. This construction tapers into the YONEX Box Shape midway through the frame for high stability, low-torque performance and more accuracy.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Rexil Fiber:
An original high quality material, developed by yonex to exceed the repulsion and shock absorption performances of normal materials.

Yonex’s new material resin - TOUGHLEX - on both sides of the frame offers improved flexibility, durability and dwell time. It also provides a softer feel because of its lightweight repulsion and lighter weight. Shots will clear deeper towards the back of the opponent’s court allowing much more aggressive counter-attacking play.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Light Feel Carbon Neo:
Combining gum particles with carbon fibre generates a light feel and flexibility at impact.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Nanomesh + Carbon Nanotube:
‘Nanomesh + Carbon Nanotube’ is an exclusive structural material inserted into the frame and/or shaft of the nanoray series. It significantly increases repulsion power, toughness and impact strength within the racquet. By combining carbon nanotube with a resin, the two molecules create a mesh-like construction which delivers a head-light racquet, sharper drive shots, improved strength and faster handling.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Compact Frame:
The smaller frame size further reduces unwanted air resistance and improves feel.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Isometric Frame:
The square-shaped Isometric frame shape is designed to keep vertical strings at a similar length, as well as the horizontal strings to produce an expanded sweet spot in all directions.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features New Grommet Pattern:
The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Horizantal-A Concept:
Yonex has designed a new grommet pattern called the HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT that has helped create the smallest frame in history. The pattern anchors 4 strings horizontally to allow greater flex in the string bed and to create an enlarged sweet spot at the top of the frame. So even off-centre shots can be powerful.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Vertical-A Concept:
The unique grommet pattern allows strings to run vertically through to the string bed, adding more flex and creating a wider, enlarged sweet spot.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Solid Feel Core:
The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.]
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features New Builtin T-Joint:
‘NEW’ Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from a special lightweight plastic combined with epoxy resin and foaming agent that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Vibration Filter Cap:
New cap shape and material reduce vibration from the shaft. The V.F. Cap delivers clean shots and reduces unwanted vibrations with a soft feel.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Power Boost Cap:
The Power boost cap combines hard and soft materials to maximize the shaft's bending power without losing stability.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features TFA Cap:
TFA Cap Provides extra shaft flex to accelerate frame recovery after impact. Also provides vibration dampening along with a comfortable fit on your thumb.
Yonex Nanoray Series Badminton Racket features Control Support Cap:
The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.
