They'll never see it coming.

The new Yonex Nanoflare 800 Game Badminton Racket is based on the Yonex Nanoflare 800 Pro Racket, toned down to suit the needs of intermediate players who want to use rackets similar to the pros.

The Nanoflare 800 is perfectly suited for fast games where quick reflexes are required, making it ideal for high-level doubles play, for players who love being the aggressor close to the net. With a head-light balance, this racket can be whipped around with ease, so nothing can hold you back when defending smashing, or in flat rallies.

The Super Slim Shaft used on this racket is Yonex's thinnest yet, vastly reducing air resistance and providing added feel. Combine this with the Sonic Flare system, which is strategically lined high-modulus graphite at the top and bottom of the frame, and you have a racket proven to produce high initial speeds upon hitting a shuttle.

The frame itself is dedicated to drives, with a steep angle from the stringing area to the T-joint and copper used at the bottom of the frame, increasing the rigidity of the racket and further enhancing repulsion, enabling powerful drives to take your opponent by surprise. The wide profile of the frame is also key, providing extra racket surface stability to minimise warping during your swing and produce powerful, controlled shots.

Features:

Nanocell NEO: A resilient yet surprisingly flexible graphite material.

ISOMETRIC: Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.

Sonic Flare System: The revolutionary new graphite material TORAYCAR M40X and SUPER HMG provide unrivaled power and stability for maximum shuttle acceleration.

Super HMG: Super High Modulus Graphite, used to increase durability and stability.

Super Slim Shaft: The slimmest racket shaft ever produced by YONEX vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum feel.

Energy Boost CAP PLUS: A uniquely shaped cap that maximizes shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the side arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.

Built In T-Joint: Increases strength between the frame and shaft eliminating head twist for more control.
