UltimumTi Energy Transfer Technology So durable it's helping athletes with joint injury return to sports.

Originally developed for the aerospace industry, UltimumTi is three times stronger than the conventional titanium and two times more resilient than ordinary graphite fibers. In medical science, it's an ideal material for replacing human joint structure and helping athletes bounce back into action. In sports play and out, UltimumTi delivers the large responsive energy and full-energy transfer characteristics that fulfill the "wish list" of sports-world professionals.

So super-resilient it transfers full power to the ball.

Development of the Yonex UltimumTi composite tennis racquet is "world first". This powerful nickel-titanium alloy is used exclusively by Yonex to ensure that the shaft of its entire line-up of UltimumTi racquets snap back on impact with super-high repulsion, transferring full power from the racquet to the ball. Tests demonstrate that the energy transfer is so efficient, it gives 5% more head velocity on impact. No other material rivals its devastating speed for the stroke effort. No other material is better suited to answer the demands of today's power tennis age.

So advanced it remembers its original shape.

A split second after impact, Yonex UltimumTi is back to its original shape. No ordinary metal matches its laser-quick ability to stretch then snap back to its original shape. That's because no ordinary metal alloying technology achieves the 200-micron structure of UltimumTi fiber. Hold a fiber and pull. It stretches miraculously. Release one end and the fiber snaps back to its original shape without any loss of its formidable power.

Titanium Mesh Maximizing stability and maneuverability.

Yonex Titanium Mesh creates more power and greater maneuverability without increasing the overall weight of the frame. High-density Titanium Mesh fibers molded into layers of high-density graphite make the racquets more stable. This combination prevents twisting at impact and provides proper balance for faster head speed.

Control of the ball comes naturally.

Titanium Mesh scientifically enhances the effective hitting area of the head frame. The Titanium Mesh fibers strategically molded into the frame at the three and nine o'clock positions create a dynamic weight system for outstanding playability. This engineered design provides greater stability and control of off-center shots, so it's much more forgiving than a conventional racquet.

Isometric.

This exclusive Yonex innovation results in a sweet spot up to 48% larger than a traditional oval head shape. It ensures more power and control with fewer off-center shots. The secret is the consistent length and frequency of vibration in the primary main and cross strings. Careful evaluation and research by our engineers solved the problem of enlarging a racquet's sweet spot by altering the geometry of the racquet itself. They designed the first isometric or square tennis racquet head. In high speed volleying situations, the isometric head shape allows solid, consistent volleys to be hit from a broader area of the racquet with greater control.

I.P.S. (Integrated Power Weight System).

By inserting extra weight at the three and nine o'clock positions, Yonex has created a greater "moment of inertia" on the face of the frame, reducing torque (twisting) and increasing frame stability for off-center shots.

O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft).

The O.P.S. builds flex into the shaft. The racquet flexes in the throat area on impact, which, extends the time the ball is in contact with the strings, for easier spin and more control.

METAL hybrid IPS.

A metal hybrid ten times heavier than high modulus graphite has been implemented into Yonex's IPS to increase racquet stability. A heavier weight, which creates a more solid feel with an ideal balance for bigger hitters, combined with increased racquet stability, provides generous power with consistent pinpoint accuracy.

Shockless Grommet.

Strategically placed soft grommets in the throat and the three and nine o'clock positions of the frame absorb vibration, reduce shock, and optimize an easier-on-the-arm feel.
