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 have now 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 pinnacle weight and the 1000 professional and the 800, there was much more head weight than this.
I’d say that this can be a lot nearer to the Nanospeed 9900, which was a superb vendor for Yonex being that it was mild headed and actually quick and a robust body.
So what we have now here’s a 4U G5, so we obtained a light-weight racket with a small grip.
It solely is available in that specification.
This can be a medium(ish) flex and as I mentioned, it’s head mild right here but it surely has much more body mass in comparison with a number of the older Nanoflare rackets.
That is strung in Nanogy 95, no thought what pressure however I’ve performed with it, so I’d say it’s in all probability round about 24lbs.
Most this could take is 28lbs in pressure, so that may cowl most gamers who’re enjoying competitively or socially. Simply covers these necessities by way of string pressure.
How did it play?
That’s all the time an important query. As you recognize by now with my opinions, I’m not significantly taken with speak in regards to the know-how it’s the way it performs.
For me, I desire head heavy rackets, often quite a bit 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 pinnacle and the way that performed. Being the truth that I like head heavy and I prefer to really feel the racket after I’m hitting the shuttle this was a bit of bit totally different.
Actually seen the velocity of the racket head coming via after I was hitting my overheads, nice for that.
Fantastic on gentle touches. Perhaps due to the string as effectively, I needed to put a bit of bit extra work into the shot, particularly when defensive lifting. Felt it was missing a bit of 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 web space, this was an absolute star. Cherished it for that.
Cherished it for defence as effectively, permits you to transfer your palms actually shortly.
Maybe I’d have modified the string and gone for my most well-liked string alternative and a special pressure. And I believe I’d have gotten much more out of the racket than I did with this.
I felt with this mixture it was a bit of 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 effectively, and I believe with a string change, and perhaps a pressure change for my private choice I’d get much more out of this.
I believe for these gamers who’re searching for energy, if you happen to can swing this sort of racket actually fast and you’ve got that common energy, that is going to be an absolute magnificence for you as a result of it offers you what you have already got up high, however now it offers you that sooner body in defence and across the web.
For many who want racket head to achieve a bit extra energy, then this isn’t going to be a racket for you.
Undoubtedly value testing.
So if you happen to get the possibility, give it a go.
Tremendous quick body.
