Yonex Power Cushion PC 65 Z4 2025 Women's Badminton Court Shoes

The Yonex Power Cushion PC 65 Z4 (2025 Model - Women's) is the flagship 4th-generation update to Yonex’s most iconic all-around badminton shoe line. Designed on a women's-specific last, this shoe delivers a glove-like "shoeless feel," combining high shock absorption with improved upper flexibility and multi-directional stability.

Performance Profile

1. Shock Absorption & Energy Return: Equipped with Power Cushion+, which provides up to 62% more repulsion and 28% greater shock absorption than standard EVA material. It converts landing force into explosive forward momentum during rallies.
2. Midsole Bounce & Spring: Features Feather Bounce Foam, an ultra-lightweight foam layer that delivers extra spring with every step without adding unnecessary bulk to the shoe.
3. Torsional Stability: Integrated with a Power Graphite Sheet (or Power Graphite Lite) embedded in the midfoot to prevent unwanted twisting during sharp directional changes while maintaining structural integrity.
4. Reengineered Inner Bootie & Fit: Upgraded to a single-piece integrated inner bootie for 2025, eliminating friction points and extending seamless support across the foot during deep lunges and aggressive footwork.
5. Multi-Directional Traction: Features Yonex’s Radial Blade Sole outsole pattern, which optimizes grip by approximately 3% for reliable traction during fast pivots and sudden stops.

Best Suited For

1. Competitive & Club Female Players: Engineered specifically for female athletes who need a refined heel and arch fit designed for a women's foot anatomy.
2. All-Round Court Strategists: Ideal for balanced players who rely on quick multi-directional footwork, frequent lunging, and back-to-front court coverage.
3. Long Matches & Daily Practice: Recommended for players seeking maximum joint protection and impact mitigation to reduce foot, knee, and leg fatigue during extended sessions.
