4 4 Badminton 2018 What s your style of play? Lee Chong Wei is one of the greatest badminton players in the history of the sport. His extraordinary speed around the court, coupled with his exquisite touch has made him a fan favourite across the globe. After reaching the coveted world number one ranking for the first time in 2008, he altered his game style. The Malaysian became more aggressive, increasing the pace of his game and becoming more attacking, a tactic that paid dividends immediately. When I increased my speed, I found that my attacks were more successful. I realised that I could outpace my opponents and catch them off-guard, which brought me even greater success on the world stage. Lee Chong Wei plays with DUORA 10.

8 8 Badminton 2018 The speed of modern-day badminton doubles is ever-increasing and as a result, Yonex identified a need for a new and exciting product that would benefit doubles players on-court. Yonex know that doubles specialists require a racquet that meets their needs in all areas of the court when attacking as well as when defending. So, the goal was simple: make racquets that would suit players in both the front-court and in the rear in attack, as well as in the mid-court when defending. To develop such a racquet was not an easy task until Yonex discovered a new material: Namd. With Namd, the racquet shaft becomes harder when the swing speed is slow, making it the perfect racquet when in defence. However, when the swing speed is fast, the shaft becomes flexible which produces more power, making it ideal for smashing. South Korean star and former Olympic Champion, Lee Yong Dae helped Yonex to perfect the technology, with the result being the new ASTROX 88 range of racquets: ASTROX 88 S (Skill) creates the sensation of the shaft flexing and the head accelerating, which enables delicate touch and pinpoint accuracy. ASTROX 88 D (Dominate) for the rear of the court to obtain maximum power. Destroy your opponent with a powerful smash.

9 RACQUETS ASTROX 88 S/88 D I m so proud that Yonex asked for my feedback for these unique racquets. I m confident that every doubles player will reap the benefits of this new technology. Lee Yong Dae

10 10 Badminton 2018 Steep Attack New Revolutionary Material Utilising high quality Namd graphite in the shaft produces more flex with a faster snapback unleashing dramatic power. New Energy Boost Cap Overwhelm the opposition with the fast and powerful ASTROX. For players who demand a steep angled and devastating smash, taking the point to their opponent. New Energy Boost Cap maximises the shaft s performance. The front flexes the shaft and exerts the maximum effect of Namd. The side s arch shaped curve stabilises the racquet face by preventing the shaft twisting. * Namd is technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fibre composites.

14 14 Badminton 2018 Viktor Axelsen is the star player of his generation. He first showed his potential on the global stage by winning the World Junior Boy s Singles title in 2010, becoming the first European to do so. He made his senior debut that same year and since then, has gone from strength-to-strength. In the past few years, the Dane has established himself as one of the most formidable players on the circuit and has won many fans along the way. In 2017, he became Europe s first World Men s Singles Champion for 20 years and in the aftermath of that victory, became world number one. I played extremely well at the World Championships 2017 to win the title and I cannot wait to play more matches with the DUORA Z-STRIKE. Viktor Axelsen DUORA Z-STRIKE Viktor Axelsen

Sindhu s family; her parents played professional volleyball, but she did not follow in their footsteps, instead she chose the sport of badminton at the age of eight. She had the dream of emulating her compatriot, Pullela Gopichand, who won the 2001 All England Open Men s Singles title. Every player is beatable. However, every player has a different style and so you must use a different strategy every time you step onto court. Pusarla V. Sindhu In 2013, Sindhu made history by becoming the first Indian women s singles player to win a Women s Singles World Championship medal when she claimed bronze. In 2016, she again made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win an Olympic silver medal and in 2017, she added World Championship silver to her collection.

32 32 Badminton 2018 Developing your game Yonex were established in 1946 as a company which, using only a single, one horsepower motor, manufactured wooden fishing floats. However, having been forced out of business due to advancements by other companies, Yonex vowed to never be left technologically behind again. The company made a commitment to be a market-leader in terms of engineering and innovation and to this day, that commitment remains fulfilled. In 1957, having refined the technique of wood manufacturing, Yonex began to make badminton racquets. The next development came in 1969 when Yonex started to produce tennis racquets made from aluminium before the company took their technology into golf, manufacturing graphite clubs in Yonex continue to be committed to developing your game by utilising the latest innovations and technologies in the manufacture of our badminton racquets.

40 40 Badminton 2018 Yonex manufacture our own string, in our own factories, which ensures the quality remains consistently superb. Across the entire range of our scientifically-engineered string, the latest technology is used and so, during a match, you know that you can rely on it to give you durability, feel and touch. Choosing the perfect string for you is vital if you want to produce your best performance. From elite athletes to everyday players, Yonex produce the optimum string for your level of play. Feel is one of the most important qualities for any badminton player when selecting string. Yonex know this and have developed a range which ensures that every player can execute delicate touch shots as well as generate extreme power, which is the perfect combination. Picking the right string

41 STRINGS AEROBITE The pace and attacking nature of badminton has evolved over the years and Yonex have ensured that our string has done the same. In recent years, we came to the realisation that we needed a string that could cope with the demands of today s game which is what led us to develop AEROBITE, the first hybrid string from Yonex. The specification of the string has been altered to produce an increased diameter of the string. This, with the addition of a PU coating, increases friction which leads to more accurate shot placement. The world s top players, including 2017 World Men s Singles Champion, Viktor Axelsen, and 2016 Olympic Women s Singles Champion, Carolina Marin, have used this hybrid string to advance their games even further and consolidate their position at the top of the sport. With this string, my cuts and smashes are very easy to control and I am able to bring the shuttle down extremely steeply, which puts me in control of the rally. Carolina Marin

Mark Lawrence, Yonex Stringing Team High Repulsion Durability Control Hard-hitting Sound The BG 66 and BG 80 are the ideal strings. The BG 66, with its Multifilament Core, is super-fine for high-durability and a soft feel and is an all-round string, suitable for all player levels. The BG 80, with multifilament core and VectranTM provides a high-strength and highelasticity spiral winding to prolong durability and tension and is ideal for the more advanced player. The BG 65 Titanium string delivers a hard feeling from the Hydro Titanium coating to provide a sharp but comfortable feel. The NANOGY 95, with its CUP-STACK CARBON NANOTUBE advanced construction to reduce notching of the strings, increases speed. These strings are perfect for improving control, especially for hard-hitting players, and increasing durability. The AEROBITE, the first ever hybrid string, has braided threads which create a robust string structure and its Polyurethane coating gives more hold on the shuttle, so is the ideal string for advanced players. The multi-braided structure of the BG 85, with threads of varying thicknesses around the core thread, improves performance on hairpins and cut smashes, and generates great repulsion power with a sharp touch.

His footwork is imperative to his game without the speed of movement and the agility he displays, he could not compete as he has done over the past decade. The Chinese superstar has built his game around his incredible speed on the court, which is why his choice of footwear is so important. Lin Dan wears shoes from the Yonex Comfort Series, with the POWER CUSHION+ technology as well as the soft and comfortable fit, allowing him to move around the court effortlessly. Key features include: Ultimate cushioning with POWER CUSHION technology in the entire midsole New POWER CUSHION+ in the heavy burden section Soft and comfortable fit Relaxes landing shock and converts energy for quick and smooth footwork Toe assist shape to prevent foot movement within the shoe Spiral Wrap and Flexion Upper follow the shape of the instep, hugging the foot, dispersing pressure

COMPARISON WITH CONVENTIONAL POWER CUSHION* Cushioning +25% + Repulsion +12% The new POWER CUSHION+ material provides improved cushioning and repulsion properties enhancing footwork on court. Utilising a resin which is light and produces high repulsion By incorporating more of this resin into POWER CUSHION+ it creates increased cushioning and repulsion without sacrificing the lightness of the shoe. Unique POWER CUSHION+ shape Forming the POWER CUSHION+ into a + shaped reticular pattern with consistent spacing and depth, allows each channel to change shape on impact, for increased cushioning and return back to its original shape for increased repulsion. *Research by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association & Boken Quality Evaluation Institute (based on JIS standards) in comparison with existing POWER CUSHION. Viktor Axelsen became BWF World Champion and achieved World No. 1** in the BWF World Rankings wearing the 65 Z with POWER CUSHION+. I really like the 65 Z with POWER CUSHION+, mostly because of the cushioning providing a good fit and whilst I am on court, I feel really stable. I feel like my feet have a good cushion, which is very important especially for someone as tall as me! The 65 Z makes me feel more comfortable and more efficient on court, especially during long matches and I find my endurance is better. The first time I wore the 65 Z was at the BWF World Championships and I am looking forward to playing many more matches in them. Viktor Axelsen **BWF World Ranking correct as of 18th January 2018.
