Dual Nanoscale Technology
Torrance, CA – January 6, 2006: Yonex Corporation has introduced The Cyberstar Nanospeed Driver, a remarkable new addition to the successful Cyberstar line of products. The Cyberstar Nanospeed Driver features cutting edge Dual Nanoscale Technology in the head and shaft which works to increase clubhead speed to help golfers of all levels drive the ball farther and straighter. The 460cc driver head features a powerful, lightweight Fullerene (nano carbon) crown that is the thinnest the golf industry has ever seen. The Fullerene + Elastic Ti reinforced shaft in the Cyberstar Nanospeed further increases club head speed due to greater resiliency and overall light weight.
In the manufacturing process, Fullerene (nano carbon) allows individual graphite fibers to be fused directly together, which reduces the amount of resin required. The result is a stronger yet lighter carbon graphite crown and shaft. Elastic Ti is a lightweight, high strength, extremely elastic nano titanium alloy that is stronger and more resilient than conventional graphite, providing increased club head speed, and superior shaft stability.
Compared to other carbon graphite crown drivers on the market today, the ultra-thin crown on the Cyberstar Nanospeed Driver allows for 20% more mass to be redistributed lower and deeper within the club head through a Tungsten weight located in the perimeter of the driver’s sole plate. This redistribution of weight creates the ideal characteristics for today’s modern drivers – a higher launch angle, decreased spin rate, larger sweet spot and a higher moment of inertia.
Yonex Supports Clubhead with New Shaft Technology
The Yonex Nanospeed Shaft uses Fullerene (nano carbon) to reduce the thickness of the shaft wall by 5%, making the shaft lighter but also more stable than a conventional graphite shaft. The addition of Elastic Ti in the kick point of the shaft provides increased energy transfer for unmatched power and "lightning quick" club head speed. The reduced shaft weight and additional "snap back" energy from the addition of Dual Nanoscale Technology will generate an increase in club head speed of up to 5mph, resulting in drives up to 20 yards longer than conventional titanium and or graphite crown drivers.
The Nanospeed Shaft not only features the advanced Yonex proprietary Dual Nanoscale Technology, but also utilizes another exclusive Yonex technology called Centrifugal Force System (CFS). CFS further increases club head speed by using the most powerful force on earth to help all golfers: GRAVITY. Without an increase in overall shaft weight, Yonex engineers have reduced weight at the grip end of the shaft and shifted it to the tip end of the shaft, allowing for greater club head acceleration through the ball when the shaft reaches the bottom of the "swing arc." This innovative design capitalizes on gravity to optimize the natural speed in the golf swing.
Retailing for $449.00, the Cyberstar Nanospeed Driver is available in Regular, Stiff, Super Light, Pro Spec and Ladies flexes.
