Yonex Drivers

If golf drivers were evaluated solely on construction and technological know-how then Yonex would be among the list of market leaders. Yonex has been committed to lead innovations in the arena of golf after the introduction of plastic fishing floats rendered their hardwood versions old-fashioned overnight.

Yonex is among one of a few golf manufacturers who also concentrate on other sports (together with Wilson and Mizuno) and they feel this provides them with a competitive advantage; the capability to bring their experience and knowledge of racket sports to their golf sets. In 1982 Yonex began to make golf clubs with carbon elements. Following the successful utilization of lightweight materials the brand researched further and shortly introduced the world's first all-graphite head driver; the Carbonex II.

Yonex continued to formulate and innovate drivers so when they launched the Nanospeed i driver it was proclaimed as the Winner at the Golf Europe Product Awards. Its carbon crown, titanium face, and tungsten weight port continues to be the blueprint for numerous modern-day drivers including their EZONE GT driver. This driver incorporates a vertical polishing pattern on the face to lower the level of sidespin imparted on the golf ball.

Yonex golf clubs are played on the European Tour and Asian Tour by Ryo Ishikawa, who made history, becoming the youngest Japanese professional golfer to win on the Japanese tour aged 17. He also has the record for the lowest score ever on a major golf tour, 58.
