    Offensive racquet specially made to boost power, speed and control, giving players a tactical upper hand on the court.

    INNOVATION

    DUORA GROMMET
    The new DUORA Grommet design featues 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,ultimmately increasing launch power on the shuttlecock.

    Hyper-MG
    Hyper-MG is the most elastic graphite material utilized by Yonex. It is equipped into the bottom half of the racquet frame allowing for instant repulsion drives.

    HORIZONTAL-A CONCEPT
    Grommets allow strings to run horizontally, creating freater flex in the string bed for enlarged sweet spot at the top of the frame.

    T-ANCHOR
    Stiff T-Anchor graphite in the joint makes the racquet twist less, allowing for increased accuracy.

    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised by advanced players for its hard shaft and aggressive balance, with exceptional power and explosive feel when hitting the sweet spot on smashes. However, the narrow sweet spot makes it difficult for beginners, and transitioning from lighter rackets requires adaptation and physical conditioning.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Smashes are powerful, fast, and maintain momentum
    • Explosive power and exceptional feel at sweet spot
    • Superior backhand swing and follow-through
    • Hard shaft provides accurate control
    • Narrow sweet spot challenging for beginners
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveThe sound of the smash is great and the speed improves significantly. Even players currently using light rackets will develop strength and power by using this racket repeatedly.
    ▽ CriticalThe shaft and frame are quite stiff with a very narrow sweet spot. While hitting the center feels excellent, missing the sweet spot can cause pain in elbows, shoulders, and wrists, with potential injury risk.

      Yoshiki （Experience：６〜１０ years） Truly Duola

      It is a racket that knows the reason why many top players use this racket. When compared with 10 in the same series, I think that it is becoming specifications that likes pretty hard hitters even from the relationship of hardness and balance of the shaft. Those who have trouble that Z - Force II can not fly backhand will go to this racket and think that there is also it!

      west （Experience：６〜１０ years） it's the best. I can't move to another racket anymore

      I've been using even rackets all my life. I bought a trail racket (TR1) to improve my badminton level and practiced, but on the contrary, I felt it was too light with an even racket, so I used z strike, which was a single racket, as my main for both singles and doubles. I came to use it in . As a result, the choice was very good. Smash, cut, receive, drive, and clear are all familiar to the hand and incredibly easy to hit. In particular, I am very good at cutting and dropping and dropping in front of the net in the avant-garde. Since using it as my main racket, I've had more chances to win against opponents I couldn't compete with before, and badminton has become even more fun! I would like to continue using it for the next 15 years.

      Westland Tanaka （Experience：６〜１０ years） Both double and single can be used!

      When I first started using it, it was very heavy and the reception was delayed, so I thought it would be difficult to use, but as I continue to use it, it feels quite light. Since the shaft is stiff, it is easy to control as it is. Smashes and clears have a very good feel at impact.

    • Toshi

      Toshi （Experience：More than ２０ years） Powerful and well-flying racket

      The racket where you can feel the difference between the fore and the back most in the Duora series. DUORA Z STRIKE has power, stretch and weight of the hit ball, and is very easy to use. The shaft feels surprisingly soft, and the frame area is a little small, so swinging is excellent. It's been over 5 years since it first appeared, but I don't feel it's old at all. I think that the fact that it is still used by Chou Tienchen and Yugo Kobayashi is proof of that.

      TOMO （Experience：６〜１０ years）

      The shaft is hard and the shot feeling is sharp, which is an impression for advanced users. It's a head heavy that is close to even, so I think it's quite easy to use among the high-end models of Yonex. If you can meet properly, you will get a pretty quick smash.

    • Miso Ramen

      Miso Ramen （Experience：６〜１０ years） From Ark Saver z

      After retiring in high school, I used Ark Saver z Slash. I liked the design and bought it. At first, I had a lot of trouble handling the fore and back sides, but once I get used to it, it's very easy to use. I think that it is a racket with quite high performance. The attack power of the shot from above is perfect. The hairpin was a little difficult and the design was heavy, so I got the impression that the drive and receive became tired from the latter half of the game and it became difficult to hit. Recommended for powerful men.
