Yonex Duora Z-STRIKE badminton racket stands at the forefront of latest innovation combining the radical Duora concept with the Z-series attacking power. This attacking racket is designed to boost power, speed and control of your shots to dominate your opponent. By combining a head heavy balance with extra stiff flex, Yonex has created the ideal racket for the attack-minded player.

Yonex has introduced the latest Hyper Modulus Graphite, allowing you to push and pressure your opponent with ease. The Horizontal-A concept means the racket has a larger sweet spot on a smaller head size which means even off-centre hits will have explosive power. Furthermore, the new DUORA GROMMET SYSTEM is designed to improve the power and control from the strings while the T-Joint has been improved by adding T-Anchor which improves the string-bed response of the mains by reducing the movement at the centre grommets. Yonex has perfectly combined all these innovations to create a fantastic all-round racket that offers you explosive power and precise control.

 Our View:

The head heavy balance of the racket made sure that every contact with the shuttle had a solid feeling. The extra-stiff flex of the racket was reminiscent of the Z-FORCE II and was able to generate power drives in the mid-court. The precise balancing made it easy to switch between hard smashes and light dropshots. In the mid-court area, it similarly easy to interchange between soft touches and hard drives. It was only at the front-court where the racket was not as versatile due to its head heavy and extra stiff flex. In our opinion, this racket is not suited for beginners and should be used by intermediate and advanced players. The powerful design of this racket makes it ideal for singles players or double players who prefer to play at the back-court.

Racket Technology

Isometric TM

The ISOMETRIC™ equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-centre hits.

Nanometric TM

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.

New Grommet Pattern

The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.

Aero+Box Frame

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

Control Support Cap

The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest manoeuvrability.

Duora Grommet

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.
