Mizuno's unique theory for controlling the twisting of the racket

TORQUE TECHNOLOGY

Badminton rackets are sometimes judged based on their 'flexibility' performance.
However, Mizuno has concluded that the 'twisting' of the racket has a greater impact on performance than flexibility. The result of this conclusion is the development of 'Torque Technology,' which controls the twisting from the joint to the shaft.
This unique design at the frame joint maximizes the transfer of twisting force generated during the swing to the shuttle, showcasing Mizuno's technology.

At the moment the swing begins, the racket frame experiences significant twisting.

When the shuttle is struck, the recovery of the frame's twist is converted into significant swing energy. Therefore, it is necessary to control the twisting.

Find your ideal racket that suits you based on the differences in hitting feel and balance.

You can choose from four series based on your playing style and find a racket that suits you based on the differences in hitting feel and balance.




ENERGY FRAME

By enhancing the rebound power at impact,we improve the hitting performance to hit stronger, faster, and further.
The technology aims for high rebound through the flex of the frame's cross-section. At the moment of impact, it transmits significant energy to the shuttle, representing an innovation in racket design.
ACROSPEED utilizes "Energy Frame" throughout the entire frame, aiming to create a speed racket that rebounds effectively.

Before impact

At impact
The frame cross-section compresses significantly.

After impact
The frame cross-section restores.
The racket frame "compresses."
The flex of the frame's cross-section generates high rebound. At the moment of impact, it transmits greater energy to the shuttle.
Mizuno has cultivated the technology of "hitting"
The long-standing technology developed in golf and baseball bats for powerful hits is also an important element for badminton's rebound performance.
We have challenged the innovation of that rebound performance with know-how from all sports.


ACRO FORCE SERIES An aggressive and powerful smash that pressures your opponent

An aggressive and powerful smash that pressures your opponent

Based on the analysis of the cork and wing sections of the shuttle, the Multi-EF Force Concept pursues a strong and dynamic smash while allowing for effective repulsion, making it a series designed for power hitters.


MULTI-EF FORCE CONCEPT

At the moment of impact, not only the cork part but also the wing section makes contact with the strings, which is a key focus.
This racket, designed for power hitters, features a new theoretical frame that combines different cross-sectional shapes at the top and bottom of the frame, enhancing its attacking power compared to previous models.

Upper Half
Soft wing surface for strikin
BOX FRAME with increased rigidity designed to compress the wing section to enhance the shuttle's resilience.
Lower Half
Hard cork striking surface
ENERGY FRAME that enhances rebound from a momentary flex.


MAXICORE FACE

By shaping the width of the frame's front at the lower and upper parts, we have developed a frame front design that increases repulsion power as it approaches the center of the frame.


With sharp shots and fast rallies, aim for the next level

The Full-EF Speed Concept, featuring a full energy frame, pursues quick speed drives with a reliable repulsion, allowing for swift swings, advanced touch, and quick releases that pressure your opponent. This is the ideal racket for players seeking speed in their game.


FULL-EF SPEED CONCEPT

High repulsion is generated by the flex of the frame's cross-section. The entire frame is designed for effective repulsion, pursuing quick swings and a great hitting feel. This is a reliable racket for speed players.

MAXIZONE FACE

The sweet spot has been expanded compared to traditional models, achieving a unique frame front shape for the series.

Skillfully control the shuttle to dominate the rally


With the BEYOND COUNTER SYSTEM, which varies the hardness between the inside and outside of the frame, this series aims to achieve repulsion performance that can be targeted from a momentary hold of the shuttle, allowing for control to dominate the rally.

 



BEYOND COUNTER SYSTEM

By revising the frame design that interacts with the vertical strings, we have adopted a hard, high-elasticity material on the outside and a soft, low-elasticity material on the inside. This creates a structure similar to a trampoline, where the outer spring is firmly encased in a rigid steel frame, allowing for both hold and rebound performance.


Compress the shuttle with a powerful, sinking smash

The BEYOND FORCE SYSTEM, which distributes weight towards the center of the racket, aims to achieve the strength of a shot that compress the shuttle and sinks heavily.

BEYOND FORCE SYSTEM

By using a high-density material in the blue area of the diagram, the weight distribution of the frame is concentrated at the center of the racket. This lowers the moment of inertia, making it easier to increase the rotational speed during the swing, allowing for stronger smashes.



AERO GROOVE

A frame shape that enhances swing and stability with grooves cut close to the joint

M FUSION
A carbon material that achieves lightweight and shock characteristics, making the racket easier to handle.
VA POLYMER
A material that excels in shock absorption and vibration damping to reduce unpleasant vibrations.
4T CARBON
A high-elasticity material "4T Carbon." By incorporating it into the lower part of the frame, it aims to transmit swing energy to the shuttle without waste.


Made in Japan: A testament to Mizuno's Techniques at the Yoro Factory

Located in Gifu Prefecture, the Yoro Factory is Mizuno's technical hub where baseball bats and golf clubs are produced. Each Mizuno badminton racket is crafted with great care, embodying the meticulous craftsmanship spirit of Japan, and is made with attention to detail while imagining each player who has chosen this racket.
