Yonex Duora Z strike is a dual optimum frame base racket (It means the cross section of the racket 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:
1. With Aero Section Frame, players will get improved aerodynamics of the racket frame which results in better racket swing speed.
2. While with Box Type of frame cross section, players will get the rigid frame geometry which helps in better stability and repulsion from the racket.
What New in Duora Z Strike Racket:
Innovative Hyper MG Graphite Material:
Yonex used the latest graphite material (hyper MG) at the lower part of the frame. Hyper MG is a very elastic graphite material. With new elastic material at the lower part of the frame gives better repulsion power on shots. As a comparison, with Hyper MG graphite material, players will get 8% more repulsion.
Duora Grommets Concept:
In New grommets Yonex used different thickness grommets (8 Linked )on either side of the frame. Due to different thickness of grommets, behaviour of sting bed is different on different cross sections. Yonex used thicker and harder grommets on the Aero side which gives extra power. Overall , With Duora Grommets ,players get better launch power to shuttle.
Horizontal A concept:
In new grommets patterns Yonex used more horizontally positioned grommets which allow smooth movement of string from grommets. This type of grommets patterns gives enlarged sweetspot and improved power on shots.
Stiffer Racket Feel:
Duora Z strike is the latest launch by Yonex and Yonex kept this racket stiffer as compared to old Duora 10, so for players who want a stiffer racket and head light configuration, this is the ultimate destiny . Racket shaft is also thinner as compared to duora 10 which will provide more repulsion power on shots with accuracy.
