The Yonex Cushion Wrap (AC381) in Red is a soft, ultra-thin polyurethane foam underwrap designed for customizing racquet handle ergonomics, shock absorption, and thickness under your main grip or overgrip.
Performance Profile
- Vibration Dampening: 9.5/10 — The cellular foam layer absorbs harsh shock waves upon shuttle impact, protecting the elbow and wrist joint during off-center hits and heavy smashes.
- Handle Sizing & Customization: 10/10 — Allows incremental handle buildup without sharp steps or harsh ridges, letting you modify a small grip size (e.g., G5 to G4) to your exact preference.
- Protective Barrier: 9/10 — Forms a protective shield over the bare wooden handle, preventing perspiration, moisture, and adhesive buildup from deteriorating the frame's core wood.
- Weight Impact: 10/10 — Ultra-lightweight composition ensures zero alteration to the racquet’s original balance point or swing weight.
Best Suited For
- Towel Grip Players: Functions as an essential moisture barrier and cushioning base applied directly to the bare wood before wrapping cotton towel grips.
- Players Suffering from Arm/Joint Fatigue: Excellent for mitigating tennis elbow, wrist soreness, or finger joint tenderness caused by stiff racquet frames.
- Custom Handle Shaping: Ideal for players who like to build up a flared cone/butt cap or thicken specific sections of the handle for personalized finger placement.
- Vibrant Accent Styling: The bright red underwrap adds a subtle pop of color under white or semi-translucent overgrips, complementing matching red frame cosmetics (such as Yonex Astrox series racquets).
