The YONEX NANOFLARE 1000Z LIGHTNING YELLOW is designed with the motif of a column of light, a design expressing the speed and power of a launched shuttle.

The NANOFLARE 1000 series is designed for players looking for additional shot and swing speed with agile maneuverability. The NANOFLARE 1000Z new Wide Profile Frame paired with the Sonic Flare System generates high repulsion on impact while reducing air resistance.

The YONEX NANOFLARE 1000Z LIGHTNING YELLOW badminton racket design combines the Wide Profile Frame with an Aero shape and compact frame to create the AERO-COMPACT Frame. This new frame improves repulsion even further. For the advanced models, high modulus graphite materials are implemented on the top and bottom of the frame along with a SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER at the base of the frame. This reduces frame warp and improves overall repulsion performance.

NanoFlare 1000Z Breaks Fastest Badminton Smash Guinness World Records™

Smash by Rankireddy surpassed the previous GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title of 493 km/h (about 306 mph) by 72 km/h (about 45 mph), establishing an astonishing new record for the fastest male badminton hit at 565 km/h (about 351 mph). Tan also set a new record for the fastest female badminton hit with a remarkable speed of 438 km/h (about 272 mph). With this, Tan became the first female GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title holder in the category.

INNOVATION
1. Sonic Flare System
   The Sonic Flare System is built through a careful combination of high modulus graphite at the tip of the frame, and a strong yet elastic graphite, at the base of the frame. These graphite materials provide high repulsion for maximum shuttle acceleration, but the carefully calculated placement, volume and combination of the graphite materials also deliver stability and control.
2. Enhanced Sonic Flare System
   The Enhanced Sonic Flare System is built through a careful combination of high modulus graphite, EX-HYPER MG, at the tip of the frame, and a strong yet elastic graphite, M40X, at the base of the frame. These graphite materials provide high repulsion for maximum shuttle acceleration, but the carefully calculated placement, volume and combination of the graphite materials also deliver stability and control.
3. Speed-Assist Bumper
   The SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is a connected grommet containing highly rigid material that is resistant to warping. They are attached to the lower part of the frame to reduce frame warp and improve repulsion performance.
4. Wide Profile Frame
   (Wide Profile Frame + Compact Frame Shape＝AERO COMPACT Frame)
   The NANOFLARE 1000Z's unique frame design combines a wide frame with an AERO shape and compact frame to improve repulsion while reducing air resistance.
   *Compact Frame Shape: By reducing the frame area, power is concentrated on the sweet spot, improving repulsion, and reducing air resistance at swing.
5. Aero-Compact Frame
   The SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is a connected grommet containing highly rigid material that is resistant to warping. They are attached to the lower part of the frame to reduce frame warp and improve repulsion performance.
6. Yonex Original Isometric Technology
   Yonex original Isometric square frame shape results in a wider sweet spot than a standard circular frame by equalizing the length of vertical and horizontal strings. This technology, created originally by Yonex, was first deployed in the Isometric 500 badminton racket, launched in 1992, after winning numerous top titles in tennis. Since then, Isometric has become a popular world standard.
