The power version of Yonex's 2007 flagship: a stiff, head-heavy frame built for hard hitters who win rallies with smashes. It is demanding to swing and tiring over long matches, so it suits strong players rather than casual ones.
- Head-heavy balance and stiff shaft give deep, forceful smashes
- One reviewer found it more precise than other Yonex frames of its day
- Made in Japan from top-grade graphite with MicroTi and ElasticTi
- Stiff shaft and head weight are unforgiving and can feel heavy in defence
- Low 18-24 lb tension range
- Discontinued; only second-hand or old stock remains
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £205.
