[@hobikidalbadminton]

I'm using Nanoflare 700, love it so I bought two of them. My friend bought 800 and the other one 800lt. To me, 800 is similar to 700 but slightly head heavy and so easy to do smashes. While the 800lt, surprisingly feels more heavy than 700 for doing lob and long drive. So, I'm happy with my 700... : )

[@CKYew]

Good choice!

[@ndkhoa2812]

I got a Nanoflare 800 LT but it was really hard to use at first. Its compact frame and light weight nature (5U) make it difficult to make shots to back of court and smash. It did took a while to improve my technique and get use to it. Now it's one of my favorite racket Even though Nanoflare is supposely a head-light series, the 800 LT feels more like an even balance racket.

[@CKYew]

Nice!!!! Good to hear you're enjoying the racket!

[@raispang6258]

I am really pleasantly surprised by how well and how comfortable I am with the NR800, Speed, Feel and Power is all there, to me it is not lacking power at all. This is more down to individual style and technique I guess. I never gave much thoughts until I tried my friends 3U version, (3 days ago). So much so I bought it off from him after just one game ! (as he does not like it at all)....I am a long term 88D user, 4U and then later 3U, wanted to try something different after my wrist injury. This NR800 is much easier to yield, and also is more forgiving (I am also surprised that the small head does not affect my play, I thought that maybe there could be a bit more miss hit, but no, surprisingly not) I am so happy now that I found a racket that I am comfortable with, it gives me the confidence and inspire me to go all out and attack. Yes I agree with you head light racket does not equate to less power !

[@CKYew]

Yep!! Absolutely!! 👍🏼 it’s amazing isn’t it! 😂

[@antoniussandy]

Hii i'm using 88 d pro for a long time and get injury. I still searching head light racket but have more power. NF 800 3U is a great choice? Or NF 700? Please give me some advice. Now i'm using astrox 77 pro. More light than 88D pro i think.

thanks for nf700 review. it's sound like my expectation from this racket. because wang ci lin used it, make many ppl more curious with this racket, he's monster.

[@HieuNguyen-ts1bo]

I've went from using the 700nanoflare to 88D pro for doubles. I believe it's more suitable for players with an aggressive style of plays which I have progressed into after gaining more exposure to doubles from getting training. I would still recommend the 700 for anyone who is more of a net and defensive type of players.

It’s certainly a good doubles racket! 👍🏼👍🏼

Hi CK, it's nice to watch your racket review. One thing I always wonder about the racket You reviewed is the thickness of the frame that has no grommet hole in it, that run against the air while we swing the racket. What You always provide is the thickness of the frame part that has grommet hole in it (some sources refer it as depth). I believe the thickness that run against the air is quite important measure also to define how aerodynamic is the frame. BTW, keep up the good work 👍

[@CKYew]

Are you referring to the T joint?

[@diptatapas8032]

No, I tried to insert link here, but it seems always erased by KZbin

[@CKYew]

Yeah, KZbin doesnt like like. 🤣 Also, there arent many places on a racket frame that doesnt have grommets.

[@diptatapas8032]

The thickness that doesn't show the grommet hole, it has grommet, but on that thickness side, the grommet hole doesn't show

[@hobikidalbadminton]

@@diptatapas8032 oohh, you mean like if we look the frame from front side not from sideways. Yes the nanoflare line is thinner but it's not a new tech. I've seen this on PRINCE rackets, whiplite series in the 90's.

[@adibfauzan5191]

thanks for the review! I’m average skill badminton player, currently i’m using 88s but for me it’s hard to generate the power when smashing, so i want to change my racket, what should i go? NF 800 or 700?

[@CKYew]

I love the 800 more than the 700, give them a go!

[@Lumiiinine]

I had the same issue with the 88s, but for me it was probably my timing and technique (the shorter frame on the 88s might be the cause of this though lol). I use the 700 and its been pretty good for me, nice and whippy to generate power, the 800 is pretty good too.

[@louisyuwono]

How do you compare between 800 & 800LT aside from the weight? Like, which one is headlight-er, which one is more powerful, which one is faster. I am about to buy a racket and very confused between these 2. I can't seem to find a local shop who have them in stock to try & hold them. Please enlighten me..

[@PanjiX6]

Hi CK, I'm thinking about changing my racket (88d pro 4u) right now because while it's really feels good and strong for smash, I often fail to defense and late for drive because it's feels a bit too heavy for me. I'm a doubles player, not a heavy smasher, I like counter play style and do deceptive shots. Which one do you think is better for me, nf800lt or astrox 100zz?

[@CKYew]

the 800LT would be significantly lighter than the 88D Pro so I would suggest trying before purchasing. I would seriously recommend the 800 though!

[@jameslyu7083]

According to YY’s data the balance point of NF800LT is 310 (note that the balance point of AX99 is 305), so someone call it “a 5u zf2”.

[@CKYew]

Personally, I find balance points are not a good measure of head heaviness of rackets because everyone measures it differently - with or without grip, tape or no tape, etc... A lighter racket will obviously have a higher balance point because the wooden handle's weight is almost fixed whereas there's less material above the wooden handle.

[@jameslyu7083]

@@CKYew I totally agree, the “5u zf2” is more like a meme. But for similar weight rackets, higher balance point can mean more power while maintaining swiftness in my opinion.

HI there. Out of all Yonex racket, which racket you feel that it has the most whipping effect / shuttle holding? I find the Z Force 2 has quite decent shuttle holding to me . Thanks

[@CKYew]

whipping effect and shuttle hold are 2 very different characteristics. You'll probably find the ZF2 has lots of "repulsion", not hold as the shuttle just screams off your racket as soon as you come in contact with the shuttle.

[@csingsing8300]

@@CKYew Thanks for your reply. I just find that the ZF2 can grab on to the shuttle and then i apply the power the the racket. I also feel that the racket will bend once i start to apply power. I cannot find this feeling on AX99, AX77, ZStrike. While the ZZ100, AX88s have half of that feeling. I am not sure if they are the whipping effect / shuttle holding

some say 800/800LT is less durable than 700. some experience their racket damaged/broken just less than a month of using. in that case, beginner is not recommended for this racket. what do you think about this?

[@CKYew]

I can’t tell if one is less durable than another as I don’t break many rackets. If there’s no clashes or hits to the wall/floor. The racket should be fine 👍🏼

[@tommaxwell]

I can tell you from experience the Nanoflare 700 is not very durable or resistant to any sort of frame clash. I’ve been through 2 frames. One from the lightest of clashes, barely felt it, the 2nd from a framed smash. I’ve gone back to a nanoray 750 that’s much more sturdy.

Hello, Ive been playing with the Yonex Astrox 99 Game for about a year now and I play mixed doubles. My partner plays with a Nanoray 270 which is quite head light compared to my racquet at least, but since he’s already super strong he can still get deadly smashes with it. I’m looking for a lighter racquet with more speed and control because my head heavy racquet does not help with front court and drives since i guess i’m too weak. My smashes back court are deadly though bc it’s head heavy. I want a racquet that gives me that control and speed but also doesn’t sacrifice that power. Id say i’m at an intermediate level.. Which of the 3 do u recommend? 700, 800, or 800lt

[@Aarush.s123]

Hi I’ve been wanting to get the astrox 99 game, how is it. Do you find any drawbacks in terms of pure power?

[@debrajroy6777]

i am a defensive kind of player- Which one will suit me - NF 700 or NF 800 please suggest. I play ony doubles

[@CKYew]

Both would be great. If you prefer a softer feeling, go for the 700. Want it faster? 800 then

Hi ck ❤❤ Greetings from India My question is a bit tricky I have been playing with a very basic 73 grams racket Astrox smash - it’s a bit head heavy Whenever I play with a bit heavy racket 4u -5u ( astrox 88d etc) I miss the whip and swing speed plus they are also head heavy The same problem I faced with Duora z strike Very surprisingly my clears are more deep with 73 grams racket in comparison to 80-90 grams racket With a light racket my swing speed is more to generate more force but with a head heavy racket even 5 u I lack swing speed altogether so I am not able to generate smash or clears Should I then invest in nf 800 or nf 700 or nf lt or any other racket u would recommend Thanks and love

[@CKYew]

The Z Strike is very stiff and has decent head weight so it’s quite demanding to play with. I guess you’ve found it easier with ‘gentler’ rackets and I would recommend keeping that way. Maybe the arc 11 play might be a good one too? I certainly liked the nf800 lots and the 700 is very whippy too 💪🏻 good luck
