About the Nanoflare series

The Nanoflare (replacing the Nanoray range) is designed for speed to meet the needs of defensive and doubles players. The balance is more towards the handle for a speedier swing and better handling that accelerates the shuttlecock.

Weight

78 g - 5U (75‒79 g). The weight (actually the mass) is measured in grams. A badminton racket's weight ranges from 60 grams to over 100 grams and is classified into different "U" weight ranges. The lighter a racket is, the more manoeuvrable and comfortable it will be. It's also easier to swing and faster, although less powerful. On the other hand, a heavier racket will be more powerful but less comfortable.

Flexibility

flexible. Flexibility is defined as the shaft's capacity to bend while hitting. Shafts can range from flexible to rigid.A flexible shaft is more forgiving and will help you hit the shuttlecock further, although your shots will be slower. While a rigid shaft provides better propulsion, it requires a fast swing and is less forgiving.

Balance

Head light. Balance refers to the racket's weight distribution. It is indicated in millimetres and is measured from the base of the handle to the balance point. A head light racket will be more manoeuvrable and reactive, making it perfect for defensive and doubles players. Head heavy rackets will provide better power, the ideal choice for offensive players. However, they can feel heavy and difficult to swing.

Composition

Graphite. The price of a badminton racket is affected by its composition. Steel and/or aluminium rackets are sturdy, heavy and better suited to recreational use. Graphite/aluminium and full-graphite rackets are lightweight and perfect for beginner and intermediate players. Rackets made from high-modulus graphite and other materials like tungsten are designed for advanced players.

Length

675 mm: 10 mm longer. The length of an adult's racket is measured in millimetres and ranges from 660 mm to 680 mm. In fact, the shaft is the only part that changes in length. A shorter shaft will be more manoeuvrable and provide a better feel. A longer shaft will offer increased inertia for added power.

Grip size

G4 = medium (85‒89 mm). Grip size is measured in millimetres. Grip size ranges from 75 mm to over 90 mm and is categorized into size ranges expressed in "G". While a larger handle is easier to hold, many players have difficulty changing their grip. A smaller handle is easier to wield and lets you put more power on the racket by using your fingers.

Original strings

The rackets come factory strung with Yonex strings with a 0.70 mm gauge (not available from stores). Only very high-end rackets made in Japan are factory strung with BG65 strings with a 0.70 mm gauge.

Pre-strung and recommended

Factory tension: 8-10 kg. Tension recommended by the brand: 8-12 kg. The rackets come with a tension that ranges between 8 kg and 10 kg, depending on tension losses that occur during transport. Each brand indicates a recommended tension, generally somewhere between 8 kg and 12 kg. This is to prevent the string or frame from breaking while stringing or hitting. Finally, some rackets have a reinforced frame that can withstand a tension of up to 16 kg.

String pattern: mains * crosses, Stringing instructions for 72 holes B = bottom, T = top

22*22. 4-knot stringing instructions Mains: start from top centre and string until B9. Go through B12 towards T11, then go back to T10, down to B10 and finish by tying off at B8.(same other side) Crosses: Make a knot at B6 and start crosses from B9. Keep on stringing until T7 and finish by tying a knot at T5.

Isometric

The Isometric design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. A square-shaped Isometric racket creates a larger sweet spot than a classic round frame by optimizing the intersection of the mains and crosses.

SOLID FEEL CORE

Special material inside the racket to reduce shaft vibrations and make hitting more comfortable

Control support cap

The top cap is 88% wider and flatter than on an ordinary racket, which improves grip and gives players better control.

SONIC FLARE SYSTEM

New ultra-thin, flat profile that deforms upon impact with the shuttlecock to give your shots more speed

Slim Shaft

The thinner shaft enables it to slice through the air more easily, generating a faster, more powerful shot.
