Yonex Hybrids

An important thing to realise about Yonex is the fact that technology is the hub of everything they do. Both head and shaft are constructed in tandem, in-house to develop synergy and deliver a better golf-club. The main focus of their research and development has always been on weight savings. Their expertise in graphite allows Yonex to deliver super lightweight hybrids which benefit golfers with slower than average swing speeds.

The core family of metal woods from Yonex is the EZONE. EZONE hybrids have evolved from an ordinary, traditional looking and performing hybrid with a carbon crown and low CG location to one of the more technologically sophisticated hybrids in the marketplace.

The EZONE Elite 2 incorporates a new octagonal crown which not merely lowers the CG even further for more forgiveness but additionally flexes at impact for more initial velocity and launch. However, the thing that makes more recent Yonex hybrids (and their wider metal wood range stand out) could be the new groove patterns they've adopted. On the hybrids, they're, not surprisingly, diagonal with the theory being this prevents grass and moisture from coming between the ball and face for increased steadiness and superior precision.

Another ingenious innovation from Yonex is Dual Tungsten Power or DTP which technology increases head speed and helps the balance and stability of the golf club to provide a long straight ball flight. A simple tungsten screw in the head and grip of the club enhances the stability of the club.

Starting life as a manufacturer of wooden fishing floats and more known in badminton and tennis circles, Yonex doesn't seem like your regular premium golf manufacturer. However, having found results in the utilisation of graphite shafts for tennis and badminton, the company found precisely the same can apply to golf clubs. Identifying an evergrowing market, Yonex was born as we know it today and established its base in Torrence, California ready to release its first clubs in 1983.
