Gain speed and responsiveness with the Nanoflare Nextage
Yonex's Nanoflare series is designed to optimise the shuttlecock's speed and repulsion – just what defensive singles and doubles players need. The new Nanoflare Nextage racket is equipped with the best technology, such as the SONIC FLARE SYSTEM and the NANOCELL NEO, which boost its handling and explosiveness.
Weight: 83 g (4U)
Its 83 g frame offers a good level of hitting power while remaining comfortable.
Flexibility: semi-rigid
The semi-stiff shaft is intended for all-round players who want precision and length.
Balance: Head light.
With its slightly head-light balance, the Nanoflare Nextage is easy to swing and responsive, yet still controlled.
Frame
The frame of the Nanoflare Nextage is designed for speed and repulsion. It is made from NANOCELL NEO, a flexible, resilient graphite that boosts your hitting power, and also features the SONIC FLARE SYSTEM. The ultra-thin frame deforms upon impact with the shuttlecock, imprinting it with even more speed. The WIDE PROFILE FRAME stabilises the racket's head and increases repulsion. Its ISOMETRIC shape offers a larger sweet spot.
Shaft
The racket's head is designed to make your counterattacks more effective. The NEW BUILT-IN T-JOINT, linking the frame and the shaft, significantly limits torsion for better control of the shuttlecock. And the graphite SUPER SLIM SHAFT reduces air resistance, guaranteeing better responsiveness and allowing you to take fast repeated shots.
Grip
The ENERGY BOOST CAP PLUS optimises the shaft's performances, allowing it to flex without twisting, for better stability and increased explosiveness.
Length: 675 mm
Standard length for an adult racket
Grip size:G5 = small (80-84 mm)
The thin handle offers better swing and lets you use the power of your fingers to imprint speed.
