Yonex Nanoflare 800 Head Light Badminton Racket Review

The Yonex Nanoflare 800 badminton racket is the flagship head light badminton racket in Yonex's badminton racket range. It is built for pure speed and is extremely popular with the pros such as Tan Wee Kiong, Lee Yang and Kunlavut Vitidsarn. The Yonex Nanoflare 800 swings extremely smooth and is very fast!
This Nanoflare 800 badminton racket also has the thinnest badminton racket frame that Yonex has ever produced and I find it incredibly easy to play within my review here.

Made an impulse purchase and bought the sucker. Hahaha. Hopefully I love it, especially since this is my first high-end headlight racquet (my only other headlight racquet is an old Nanoray 100 with stock strings I got from a friend [I hate it]). Won't be able to play it for another two days, so until then I'll keep rewatching this to make myself feel better about my buy. 😂 Just from picking it though, it feels VERY solid and high quality, and it's not quite as headlight as I was expecting. Can't wait for your upcoming Nanoflare 555 review, CK!

I finally bought this racket (4U aerobite boost 27lbs) after your review and totally agree with your assessment. It is such an Easy racket to use, so easy to defend and clear. The smashes and placement was so accurate and effortless. Although it is a ‘head light’ racket but doesn’t feel like it is. As you mentioned, timing will need to be adjusted for slices etc… as it is a very fast racket. I had been using an Astrox 100zz and the N800 would be my racket of choice and recommended to anyone.

I have recently returned to the badminton world after a long break of 5-6 years and haven't been keeping up with new rackets and series. My favourite racket back then (and still using now) is 2u Nanospeed 9900 which are rare anyway and has been long discontinued. I love its extra stiff shaft, the power I can generate from it (thanks to 2u), while still has high maneuverability. How does Nanoflare 800 compare vs Nanospeed 9900 in your opinion? And if I were to get one I suppose 3u would be a better choice (since I play with 2u 9900)?

[@CKYew]

Hi Matt, I think you’ll like the 800. It’s not as stiff as the 9900 but it probably is easier to play with and has more power. The 3U is lovely 😊

[@CKYew]

It depends what you prefer, I personally went with the Astrox 88D Pro which in my opinion has lots of power, speed and decent user friendliness at the same time. The 800 in 3u is an amazing racket imo, 100zz is pretty demanding on physicality and technique tho 👌

Great review and completely agree with the findings. I've been playing with the Nanoflare 800 4U for a few months now, coming from an old but wonderfully light, fast and powerful wide body Carlton Powerflo. It took me a good while to adjust my timing to the stiff shaft and high swing speed, but I absolutely love the precision and control that it gives. A superb racquet in every way. Out of.curiosity you said you might be persuade to make this your favourite racquet - so what is your favourite racquet how, and why does that still have the edge over the NF800?

[@CKYew]

I went with the Astrox 88D Pro 😬😬🤣🤣

[@maquislive]

Thanks CK. That’s a very different racquet :-) I am looking for something with just a little bit more head weight and oomph than the NF800 but similar stiffness. Maybe the Astrox 22 series or the Duora 10…? Not sure yet

Personally, I never liked the Z Speed because of its muted feeling from the racket, although it does have an amazing paint job (orange ver). I think the 800 wins in terms of feel, speed and manoeuvrability. The Z Speed perhaps have a touch more power.

Question Many people said When using this racket If u do misshit Frame is very easy to be broken... Why ? Is it true ?

From my experience, this doesn’t happen regularly at all if you’re playing with genuine rackets. Rackets don’t break very easily unless there’s a significant sudden impact.

Hello :) Do you think the smash speed of the 3u version with a high repulsion and control string such as BG66UM could deliver the same quality smashes as those with head heavy rackets? Been trying to shift from the ZF2 Lin Dan edition to a quite maneuverable racket such as this one who can deliver great smashes and control, cause I've been thinking to include some trick shots during games without the expense of some muscle strain and racket control due to the weight .. Do you think when I get to adapt the head-lightedness of this racket, I could deliver the same smashes as with my previous ZF2 :) ?

Need Advice. So I'm a Intermediate level player with Agressive style of play. Played with Astrox 88D Game (BG66 Ultimax) for 6 months or so. It's a medium flex Taiwan made racket. I wanted to upgrade to Japan made racket and upon research found NF800 as an easy to play even balanced fast racket. I got it strung with Exbolt63 at 24LBS. Now my shots are not as powerful and consistent as they used to be with Astrox. So what could be the reason for this. 1. I have recently changed the racket, so I need to give some time for adjustment? 2. Choice of racket is not right because it's too Stiff for power generation? 3. Choice of string is not right? 4. Any other reason.

Could you tell me the difference between the 'Nanoflare 800' and the 'Nanoflare 800 lt'? I'm still quite confused about the nuances between each racket. Why should I get one over the other (in terms of speed, power, control, handling, etc. and how much difference is one from another)? I'm planning to buy one but don't know which one to get. I currently use the astrox 100zz. I find it a little unwieldy and slow for drives and quick snappy shots, but I like the power it gives with little effort. I want something faster with easy movements and control.

Difference 800 and 800lt is weight differences. 800 has 3 and 4U models. 800lt only comes in 5U.

@@CKYew it's just as you said in your review. The repulsion is good , durability is good. My observations are : 1. During net play, when picking shuttle from the very low it still can go to other other side if you flick it. 2. Since I play in open, if you drive the shuttle up and back from near net , it can go beyond line as well. So need no need to use much power just a simple drive is good. 3. Smashes hit from sweet spot, becomes difficult to be picked up opponent. 4. If you can control net shots, it's amazing.

But I like how I can defend. I tried the Astrox 88 pro today (4u again) and it feels way too heavy.

The NF800 made me feel like a ninja, it was that fast! If I want to be a fast front court player, should I go for the NF800 and just put up with the timing issues until I get used to it? Or be a lot slower and have no issues. 🤔 Anyone who has a fast racket is going to wreck people in the front court. 😔 So if I'm there trying to use the 88d pro, it's going to be a problem.
