Servo Filter technology is a unique feature developed by Yonex to enhance the comfort and playability of their tennis rackets. This technology is designed to reduce or filter out harsh vibrations that can be transmitted from the ball impact to the player's hand and arm during gameplay. Let's delve into how Servo Filter technology works:
-
Vibration Dampening Layer: Within the shaft of the tennis racket, Yonex incorporates a thin and elastic vibration dampening layer. This layer is strategically placed to absorb and dampen vibrations that travel through the racket frame when the ball makes contact with the strings.
-
Harsh Vibration Absorption: When the ball strikes the strings, it generates vibrations that travel through the racket frame. Some of these vibrations can be uncomfortable and contribute to player fatigue or discomfort, especially during prolonged matches or intense rallies. The vibration dampening layer in the shaft acts as a buffer, absorbing a significant portion of these harsh vibrations.
-
Improved Comfort: By minimizing the transmission of harsh vibrations, the Servo Filter technology enhances player comfort. Players experience less shock and impact in their hands and arms, leading to a more enjoyable and less fatiguing playing experience. This can contribute to improved focus and performance on the court.
-
Reduced Risk of Injury: Excessive vibrations transmitted through the racket can potentially contribute to tennis-related injuries, such as tennis elbow or arm discomfort. Servo Filter technology helps mitigate this risk by reducing the impact of vibrations on the player's body, allowing them to play with less strain and reducing the likelihood of injury.
-
Consistent Feel: While reducing harsh vibrations, Servo Filter technology aims to maintain the essential feel and feedback that players need to gauge their shots accurately. This means that players can enjoy the benefits of reduced discomfort without sacrificing the tactile connection between their racket and the ball.
