YONEX Duora Z Strike Badminton Racket Technology:

• Nanometric: Nanometric improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibres enabling us to 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.
• Nanometric DR: Nanometric DR is a new carbon material developed by YONEX based on our unique Nanoscience technology. Created from a material originally developed for next generation space aviation, this marks the first time it has been used within the racquet industry. By combining firm shuttle hold and high repulsion, Nanometric DR puts the Duora into a class of its own.
• Aero + Box Frame: Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
• Compact Frame: To balance the heavy racquet head, the frame has been made smaller to maintain the fast swing demanded by advanced players. By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racquet handling speed is increased.
• Dual Optimum System: Power up your forehand and backhand with the Dual Optimum System.
• Duora Grommet Design: The new Duora Grommet design features 8 linked grommets made with differing thicknesses on either side of the frame. When hit on the box side, thicker and harder grommets on the aero side result in a stiffer string bed, ultimately increasing launch power on the shuttlecock.
• Horizontal - A Concept: YONEX has designed a new grommet pattern called the Horizontal-A Concept that has helped us create the smallest frame in our 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.
• Isometric: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.
• New Grommet Pattern: The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
• 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.
• 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.
• Control Support Cap: The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racket for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest manoeuvrability.
• Build-in T-Joint: Moulded deep into the layers of graphite where the frame connects with the shaft, the YONEX Built-in T-Joint creates a durable and high-strength one-piece frame that is torque-free.
• EX-HMG: Provides sharper power for all your shots.

YONEX Duora Z Strike Badminton Racket Description:

Duora Z Strike is latest launched by YONEX 2017. It is Dual optimum frame base Racquet (Its means cross section of the Racquet is different at two sides. At one side it will be Box type and on the other side it will be Aero type). So, in Dual optimum frame technology developed by YONEX, Player gets two fold benefits: With Aero Section Frame, Player will get improve aerodynamics of the Racquet frame which results into better Racquet swing speed. With Box Type of frame cross section, player will get rigid frame geometry which helps in better stability and repulsion of the Racquet. Duora Z strike racquet is Made in Japan.
