ARV Construction & Yonex Tennis: Building Champions, On and Off the Court

ARV Construction LLC, based right here in Hillsboro, Oregon (1220 SE Fir Grove Loop, 97123-8807, you can reach us at 973-998-3107), isn’t your typical construction company. We build things – and we mean really build things. From stunning residential remodels and commercial spaces, to foundational work that lasts generations, we’re all about quality, precision, and a commitment to getting the job done right. But what does construction have to do with tennis? Well, more than you might think! Just like building a solid foundation for a house, having the right equipment is critical for performance – and that’s where Yonex tennis rackets come in. We've been quietly equipping our team, and increasingly, clients, with these top-of-the-line rackets, and we've seen a real difference – both in performance and enjoyment on the court. Beyond Bricks & Mortar: Why We’re Fans of Yonex At ARV Construction, we deal in precision. We need to be accurate, consistent, and deliver results that stand up to scrutiny. This same philosophy extends to our hobbies, and for many of us, that hobby is tennis. We started looking for rackets that matched our own commitment to quality, and Yonex kept coming up. It’s not just hype. Yonex isn’t just slapping a logo on a frame. They actually engineer their rackets. They have a dedicated team of engineers and a huge focus on materials science. They’re constantly innovating – and it shows. What Makes a Yonex Racket Different? Let’s Break It Down. We've had our hands on a few different Yonex models now, and here's what we’ve noticed: Isometric Head Shape: This is a big one. Most rackets are oval-shaped, but Yonex uses an isometric head. What does that mean? More sweet spot! Seriously, it expands the area where you can hit the ball cleanly, even if you don’t make perfect contact. For our team – guys who are skilled with their hands, but maybe haven’t been playing tennis since high school – this has been a game-changer. Less frustration, more consistent rallies. Carbon Nanotube Technology: These rackets aren't just made with carbon fiber, they use incredibly advanced carbon nanotube technology. This stuff is super strong and lightweight. The result? More power, better control, and a racket that feels surprisingly comfortable in your hand. It’s like using high-grade steel in a building – it just feels better and performs better. Vibration Dampening: Tennis can be tough on your arm. Yonex rackets are designed to absorb shock and reduce vibrations, which means less fatigue and a lower risk of injury. We appreciate that – our guys need their hands and arms working well on the job site! A Racket for Every Player: Yonex doesn't just make one type of racket. They have a huge range of models, from beginner-friendly options to pro-level gear. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned player, there's a Yonex racket out there for you. We've seen a lot of variety on the courts lately, and everyone seems happy with their choice. From the Job Site to the Tennis Court: A Shared Commitment to Quality We see a lot of parallels between what we do at ARV Construction and what Yonex does with their rackets. Both companies are obsessed with details. Both are committed to using the best materials. And both are focused on delivering a product that lasts. We're building structures that will stand the test of time, and Yonex is building rackets that will help players improve their game for years to come. It’s a shared commitment to quality that we really admire. Which Yonex Racket is Right For You? (A Quick Guide based on what we've seen) For the Beginner: The Yonex EZONE 100L is a great starting point. It’s lightweight, forgiving, and offers a good balance of power and control. Easy to swing, and helps you develop good technique. For the Intermediate Player: The Yonex EZONE 100 is a solid all-around racket that offers a bit more power and control than the 100L. It’s a versatile option that’s suitable for a variety of playing styles. For the Advanced Player: The Yonex VCORE Pro 97 is a popular choice among serious players. It offers excellent control and feel, and it's designed for players who like to dictate the pace of the game. For Players Who Want More Power: The Yonex VCORE 100 offers a larger head size and a more powerful feel. It’s a good option for players who want to hit with more authority. More Than Just a Racket: It’s About Performance and Enjoyment At ARV Construction, we believe that quality tools make a difference. Whether it’s a hammer, a saw, or a tennis racket, having the right equipment can help you perform at your best. We've seen firsthand how Yonex rackets can improve a player’s game, and we’re proud to recommend them to our clients and friends.
