Proven Technology

Drop an egg onto the Power Cushion and it will bounce back without breaking. A new technology from Yonex, Power Cushion, with superb shock-absorption and repulsion power for the next generation in shoe design.

Are you satisfied with a shoe that only minimizes shock? "Power Cushion Technology" responds to quick and sharp movements by transforming shock into kinetic energy. Furthermore, this unique characteristic reduces muscle fatigue on your legs, so you're fresher going into the fifth and final set.

Test 1-1
Sole Distribution Diagram Measuring Shock Absorption

Shock absorption characteristics measured in a drop on a Power Cushion sheet, a gel insert material and on air cushion material (knees straight): The higher the projection wave the more shock is prevalent.

Test 1-2
Measuring Muscle Fatigue

Muscle fatigue measured in multiple jumps straight up on a Power Cushion sheet, a gel insert material and on a standard insert material without shock absorption. Tests show that the Yonex Power Cushion absorbs more shock and inhibits muscle fatigue versus the more popular liquid filled soles.

Test 2
Athletic Performance

Athletic performance measured in a jump straight up, from a standstill on a Power Cushion sheet, a gel insert material and on a standard insert material without shock absorption (knees bent 90 degrees): Compared with gel, the Power Cushion allowed the athlete to jump higher by 14%, real-life proof of Power Cushion's positive athletic performance.
