Launched on the nineteenth of January 2024, that is the third of the Nanoflare vary that has been launched within the final 12 months.
Initially we had the 1000 professional, adopted by the 800 professional and now we now have the very newest.
This isn’t a Japanese manufactured racket and as such will include a beneficial price ticket for membership, league and social gamers.
So what’s totally different about this racket?
Effectively, Yonex have form of adopted the strategies they’ve been utilizing of late and bringing out a large beam body, very aerodynamic.
However that is very very totally different in respect of the top weight and the 1000 professional and the 800, there was much more head weight than this.
I might say that this can be a lot nearer to the Nanospeed 9900, which was a superb vendor for Yonex being that it was gentle headed and actually quick and a powerful body.
So what we now have here’s a 4U G5, so we bought a light-weight racket with a small grip.
It solely is available in that specification.
It is a medium(ish) flex and as I stated, it’s head gentle right here nevertheless it has much more body mass in comparison with among the older Nanoflare rackets.
That is strung in Nanogy 95, no concept what rigidity however I’ve performed with it, so I might say it’s most likely round about 24lbs.
Most this could take is 28lbs in rigidity, so that can cowl most gamers who’re taking part in competitively or socially. Simply covers these necessities by way of string rigidity.
How did it play?
That’s all the time crucial query. As you understand by now with my critiques, I’m not notably keen on discuss concerning the expertise it’s the way it performs.
For me, I desire head heavy rackets, often loads stiffer, so the stiffness didn’t trouble me on this in any respect, fairly a little bit of flex, labored a deal with by way of any form of hitting.
What was extra attention-grabbing was the load of the top and the way that performed. Being the truth that I like head heavy and I prefer to really feel the racket once I’m hitting the shuttle this was slightly bit totally different.
Actually seen the velocity of the racket head coming by once I was hitting my overheads, nice for that.
Great on smooth touches. Perhaps due to the string as properly, I needed to put slightly bit extra work into the shot, particularly when defensive lifting. Felt it was missing slightly bit by way of the flat hitting. However once more, that’s as a result of I desire that little little bit of weight behind the racket head in comparison with this.
However, it was extremely quick. And for that each one spherical the online space, this was an absolute star. Cherished it for that.
Cherished it for defence as properly, means that you can transfer your palms actually shortly.
Maybe I might have modified the string and gone for my most well-liked string alternative and a unique rigidity. And I feel I might have gotten much more out of the racket than I did with this.
I felt with this mix it was slightly bit uninteresting, however a thinner string, one thing like an Exbolt 65 I can think about this racket actually coming to life.
So for me, nice on the web, exceptionally good in defence as properly, and I feel with a string change, and possibly a rigidity change for my private desire I’d get much more out of this.
I feel for these gamers who’re in search of energy, in case you can swing this sort of racket actually fast and you’ve got that normal energy, that is going to be an absolute magnificence for you as a result of it provides you what you have already got up prime, however now it provides you that quicker body in defence and across the web.
For individuals who want racket head to achieve a bit extra energy, then this isn’t going to be a racket for you.
Positively value testing.
So in case you get the possibility, give it a go.
Tremendous quick body.
