Yonex Nanoflare 800 Play Badminton Racket (4U/Avg. 83g) – Ultra-Fast Head-Light Attack (Deep Green)

The Nanoflare 800 Play is engineered for players who demand exceptional speed and maneuverability without compromising control. With its 4U (average 83 g) ultra-light frame and head-light balance, this racket lets you react faster, change direction instantly and dominate fast rallies.

Built with a graphite frame and shaft, the racket features Yonex’s ISOMETRIC™ head shape for a 7 % larger sweet spot compared to conventional frames – meaning you get more consistent hits.
The “Sonic Flare System” places high-modulus graphite strategically at the top and bottom of the frame for maximum shuttle acceleration and stability.
Aero Frame technology and a slim shaft design reduce air resistance, letting you swing quicker and harder.
