my last nf700 4u cracked 2 weeks ago from missed hit. at 10 oclock position. I played with it for almost a year, liked very much and immidiately ordered replacement nf700. The cracked racked experienced a lot of mishits and clashes, there was at least 4 paint cracks to carbon. But I have to mentioned that it is only 2nd racked that I ever broke, it was professionally stringed by yonex shop for 12 kg. So there are some durability issues, probably, but nothing really bad and i still like the racket more than any other in my collection.
Any idea why is Yonex promoting the NF700 so heavily over the NF800? Even here in Malaysia the selling price of NF700 is higher than that of the NF800. Is it because it is more used by professional players? Been seeing so many marketing from Yonex the past weeks or so with testinominals from pro players like Ratchanok Intanon, Wang Chi Lin and Son Wan Ho. Just genuinely curious.
The Nanoflare 2020 limited edition I have is heavier and more head heavy than the nanoflare 2019 ( green) 2019 4U with 66 ultimax string and 1 over grip weighs 90.7 gm , balance point 286 mm from end of grip 2020 4U with BG 66 brilliant and 1 over grip is 91.6 gms , balance point 293 mm from end of grip the change in BP is noticeable , the strings were ok about the same , I play 4 games with 2020 and then the last 2 with 2019 model the 2019 flet much faster after that but the smashing much less oomph , could be that I was tired by the end. the weird thing was that in the shop there were 2 4u rackets and they had the same code on the cone but different code on the shaft. Went to www.sunrisett.com to authenticate and it was proven authentic. I went from nanospeed 9900, to arscaber 5 to astrox 88 s to Nanoflare700 to windstorm 78 76 and 72 (past year) as I had some shoulder issue and now i think I am settled on the NF700. easy racket to use, a bit boring, but i am not getting younger and neither are my opponents haha.
Nanoflare 800 is a completely diff racket from 700 in my opinion , it is alot stiffer and the head smaller and behaves like a small headed nanospeed 9900
Hi Bros : If i am looking for a even balance racket like Arcsaber 11 or bravesword 12 . Is it better to get Nanoflare 700 or 800? And how is the performance of a Nanoflare 800 4U , the reason why i ask about 4u is because 3u is sold out in Singapore. Thanks
Today i tried for the first time Nanoflare 700 4U . Not bad for this racket . I would say its as good as a 3U arcsaber 11. Lobbing : 9/10 Smashes: 8/10 Drive: 8.5/10 Netting : 9/10 Drop: 8.5.10. Overall racket not bad
