    It means that it is 10mm longer than normal rackets... shaft + handle

    Thanks.

    Most new yonex rackets, especially the top end models, are 10 mm longer than the old generations. It's not really a special feature anymore. There are other brands that more than 10mm longer.

    New racket is almost around 674 -675mm while the old one is around 664 -665mm ... so it shows 10mm long.
    The Max is 680mm ... this is offical rule.

    In your mind
    Is there really a difference in performance between the lengths? Would longer shafts bend more, so even if it's stiff, you'd feel it to be more flexible than a shorter racket, with the same stiffness?
