Yonex Nanoflare 700 Badminton Racket - Black/Red

The Nanoflare 700 is the first in a new series of high-power, head-light badminton rackets. Our View: The medium flex and the speed through the air, despite a relatively thick frame, seemed to the give the racket an extra zip through the air. We were able to get the same smashing power from this racket as head heavy rackets, without sacrificing any speed for fast doubles play. We tried it with the Yonex Aerobite strings strung at 25lbs and the whole combination made a terrific sound on court, perfect for feel and touch. The medium flex makes the racket suitable for all levels, especially Intermediates and Beginners.
