View Full Version : Yonex Racquets compared to Head, Wilson, and
Prince Racquets  06-01-2004, 09:20 PM If you look at the inside
hoop at the 6 O'clock of Yonex racquets at those rubber things
the strings go through there longer than the ones on other
racquets like Head, Wilson, and Prince.    Why is this? Does it
make a difference or does Yonex just not cut it as short?
06-01-2004, 10:22 PM I believe what you are referring to are
called the grommets..  Yonex apparently has a "Shockless
Grommet" system:  "...Strategically placed soft grommets in the
throat and the three and nine o'clock positions of the frame
absorb vibration, reduce shock, and optimize an easier-on-the-
arm feel..."  I don't own a Yonex, so I don't know if this claim
is just a gimmick, but this could explain why they are longer.
