The first flagship Nanoflare: a stiff head-light racket with a slim razor-style frame, aimed at players who wanted fast swings and sharp smashes without moving to a head-heavy racket. Replaced in 2023 by the new-generation Nanoflare 800 Pro.
- Very fast swing and handling for a stiff racket
- Crisp, quick shuttle exit on drives and smashes
- Strong choice for fast doubles
- Stiff shaft is hard to load for clears without good technique
- Matte-black finish and thin frame mean it is less forgiving on mishits
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £215.
