Overview
Updated with a new cosmetic along with a black leather grip the Yonex REGNA 100 is back for a limited run! At 11 ounces strung, the REGNA 100 is weighted for intermediate players, but it should also tempt the more advanced ball striker who wants raw speed. As with the REGNA 98 this racquet benefits from the impeccable engineering standards and tight spec tolerances that we've come to expect from Yonex. The signature technology is Yonex's time-tested ISOMETRIC head shape, which expands the sweetspot to create a more forgiving feel on off-center impact. The REGNA 100 also combines a uniquely responsive carbon material (Namd) with a meticulously engineered beam construction. The result is a racquet that flexes optimally across all stroke speeds. The Regna also benefits from a Frame Stiffness Structure that includes a thicker beam in strategic locations to deliver a more stable and powerful hitting experience. Other technologies include a Divergent String Pattern which widens the pitch of the lower main stings to create a larger sweetspot and more responsive feel. From the baseline, the REGNA 100 packs more power than the REGNA 98 while still offering impressive targeting on full swings. In addition to offering a comfortably crisp feel at impact, the REGNA 100 is mobile enough for hitting winners on the run or resetting the point with an outstretched flick. Spin potential is also impressive thanks in part to the speedy acceleration and open 16x19 string pattern. The quick handling continues at net where this racquet comes around fast when the pressure is on. Ultimately, with the REGNA 100, Yonex has delivered an extremely impressive racquet for intermediate and advanced players.
