The YONEX Nanoflare 800 Badminton Racquet is specially made for advanced players looking to attack their opponent with extreme swing speeds and manoeuvrability from a headlight racquet. The main new feature of the YONEX Nanoflare 800 Badminton Racquet is the ultra-thin Razor Frame, which is aerodynamic from all angles. Compared with other thin frames, the 360° streamlined Razor Frame means air resistance is reduced by up to 11.5% from all angles, resulting in faster swing speed. This also means that shuttle speeds off the racquet have increased. Overall, because of the quicker speeds, the player can reach the shuttle earlier, improving their ability to pressure opponents with aggressive drives and pushes. Key Features: Sonic Flare System (Max Acceleration): The revolutionary new graphite material TORAYCAR M40X and SUPER HMG provide unrivalled power and stability for maximum shuttle acceleration to YONEX Nanoflare 800 Badminton Racquet. Ultra Slim Shaft (Thinnest Ever with More Power): Inserting NANOPREME into the YONEX Nanoflare 800 Badminton Racquet shaft ensures greater stability than conventional racquets. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional Racquets. AERO+BOX Frame: Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing. M40X: A next-generation, highly strong, yet elastic carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries, Inc. About YONEX: YONEX is a manufacturer of badminton rackets and other sports equipment.
