A head-light, stiff Nanoray built for fast hands, defence and net play, and sold as the top Nanoray when it arrived. A UK review found it solid and accurate but short on smash power.
- Quick, accurate net play
- Strong defence and blocking
- Solid, reliable feel on clears and drops
- Smashes lack power compared with head-heavy frames
- Stiff shaft is tiring for slower swingers
- High price when new (RRP about GBP 165-200)
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: £165.
