Product Description
Model: Yonex 99 Play
Head Heavy Racquet designed for Hard Hitters. SLIM SHAFT – More speed = More power. Designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power. ISOMETRIC – Enlarged Sweet Spot. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC delivers greater control without sacrificing power. AERO+BOX FRAME – Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing. Control Support CAP – Sharp Maneuverability. 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. ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM – For Maximum Control. By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly with a rapid succession.

rotational generator system

QUICK BENEFIT

Continuous powerful attacks

PROPERTIES

• Weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for continued powerful attacks
• POWER-ASSIST BUMPER adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer to the shuttle while reducing air resistance
• The LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP enables an extremely head-heavy weight distribution

RESULT

Enhanced Rotational Generator System guiding smooth transitions from shot to shot

2G Namd Flex Force

QUICK BENEFIT

Uncompromised shot power and increased shot information

PROPERTIES

• Graphite characterized by its quick flex and snapback.
• The Carbon Nanotube binding the graphite together reduces energy loss and enhances its resilience.

RESULT

Used in the whole racquet, the rapid flex and snapback allows more shuttle hold to feel the shuttle and transmit maximum power.

*Used in PRO/TOUR models

*Namdis technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.

LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP

QUICK BENEFIT

Increased power

PROPERTIES

A newly designed end cap which is made lighter by removing the weight inside

RESULT

Balance is shifted towards the racquet head, making this model the most head-heavy racquet within the current line-up

CONCENTRATED SWEET SPOT FOR POWER

QUICK BENEFIT

Increased shot power

PROPERTIES

Concentrating power to the sweet spot by revising the frame shape.

RESULT

Meeting the demand of heavy smashers with an increased shot power

SHOT INFORMATION CONNECTOR

QUICK BENEFIT

Increased shot information

PROPERTIES

• Weight is concentrated in the racquet head by taking out weight from the shaft and end cap to increase flex
• The ANTI-TORSION SHAFT using high rigidity graphiteis designed to lower the torque, keeping the racquet face straight

RESULT

Provides confidence with increased shot information by extending contact time between the shuttle and the string to transfer information without loss
