Racquet Finder — Which Racquet Is Right for You?
Racquet Finder — Find Your Perfect Match
Not sure which Yonex racquet is right for you? Answer three simple questions and we'll point you straight to it.
Step 1 — What's Your Level?
🎾 Never played before / just starting out
You want something lightweight, forgiving, and easy to swing. Technique doesn't matter yet — the racquet should do the work for you.
- Starting with a partner? → Yonex GR 303i Set of 2 — two racquets, ready to play, great value
- Want your own single racquet? → Yonex Nanoray Light 18i — ultra-lightweight, ideal first racquet for adults and juniors
- Beginner with an aggressive, attacking style? → Yonex Astrox Attack 9 — head-heavy graphite, built for smash power from day one
🏃 Playing regularly / improving
You've got the basics down. Your clears are landing, your serve is consistent, and you want a racquet that rewards better technique with more power or speed.
- All-round player? → Yonex Astrox Lite 27i — best intermediate upgrade, graphite frame, more smash power
- Control and placement? → Yonex ArcSaber 11 Play — even balance, precision over power
- Speed and net play? → Yonex Nanoflare Speed 7 — head-light, lightning-fast, built for quick rallies
- Maximum speed performance? → Yonex Nanoflare 800 Play — top of the Nanoflare range, stiff shaft, enhanced repulsion
