About Yonex

Yonex was founded in 1946 in Niigata, Japan by Minoru Yoneyama as a wooden fishing float manufacturer. After plastic floats displaced wood, Yoneyama pivoted to badminton rackets in 1957 and tennis in 1969. The company shortened its name from Yoneyama to Yonex, with the X signifying infinite possibilities. Yonex is one of the world's largest tennis brands and uniquely designs, develops, and manufactures most products in Japan. They pioneered the isometric head shape and became the first Japanese brand to provide stringing services at a Grand Slam (2016 Australian Open). Ben Shelton, Casper Ruud, and Naomi Osaka use Yonex strings.

  • Poly Tour Pro - soft, controlled poly used by Ben Shelton & Casper Ruud
  • Poly Tour Strike - firm control poly used by Denis Shapovalov
  • High-temperature stretching process for tension maintenance
  • First Japanese brand to string at a Grand Slam
