Setup
Your YONEX ZR 100 racquets come pre-strung and ready for immediate use. No complex assembly is required.
Unpacking
- Carefully remove the racquets from their packaging.
- Inspect both racquets for any signs of damage during transit.
- Ensure both racquets are accompanied by their respective full covers.
Grip Preparation
The racquets are equipped with a standard grip. If desired, you may apply an overgrip for enhanced comfort or sweat absorption. Ensure the overgrip is applied smoothly to avoid uneven surfaces.

Operating
The YONEX ZR 100 racquets are designed for playing badminton. Proper technique and care during play will extend the life of your racquets.
Holding the Racquet
Hold the racquet firmly but not too tightly. A relaxed grip allows for better wrist movement and power generation. The grip size is G4 (3.5 inches), which is suitable for a balance of power and maneuverability.
Playing Level Suitability
These racquets are ideal for beginner and intermediate players. Their lightweight design (approximately 95-99.9 grams) facilitates easier swings and reduces arm fatigue, making them suitable for developing proper technique.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your YONEX ZR 100 racquets.
Storage
- Always store your racquets in their full covers when not in use. This protects them from dust, scratches, and minor impacts.
- Avoid storing racquets in extreme temperatures, such as direct sunlight inside a car or near heating radiators. Extreme heat can warp the frame or damage the strings.
- Store in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning
- Wipe the frame and strings with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt.
- If the grip becomes dirty or worn, it is recommended to replace it or apply a new overgrip.
String Care
- While the racquets are pre-strung, over time, strings may lose tension or break.
- If strings break or tension significantly decreases, it is recommended to have the racquet restrung by a professional.
