NANOFLARE 1000 PLAY

• The frame uses smoother, sharper contours and a wide profile at the head to minimize air resistance (drag). This design is the heart of the NanoFlare series, enabling the player to achieve higher swing speeds for faster clears, drives, and smashes.

ISOMETRIC™ Head Shape:

• This signature Yonex technology creates an enlarged sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. This forgiveness helps maintain shot consistency and power even when the shuttle contacts the frame slightly off-center.

Sonic Flare System (Simplified):

• In the high-end models, this involves advanced graphite materials at the frame top and bottom for maximum repulsion. In the Play version, the system’s concept is maintained to create high repulsion (snap-back power) upon impact, amplifying shuttle acceleration for explosive shots, particularly on the counter-attack.

Slim Shaft:

• A thinner shaft diameter further contributes to the racket’s speed profile by cutting through the air with less resistance, enabling quicker recovery between shots.

The Yonex NanoFlare 1000 Play is an ideal choice for the doubles player, defensive player, or recreational player who:

1. Prioritizes speed and fast reactions at the net and during defensive rallies.
2. Needs assistance with power generation due to developing technique or a slower swing speed (provided by the Medium Flex).
3. Wants to experience the feel and speed of a premium series without the investment of a professional model.

It’s a forgiving, fast, and light racket designed to help players command the rally with maximum speed and effortless force.

Highlights

• Lightweight and Head-Light Balance: A 4U weight (approx. 83 grams) and head-light balance provide excellent maneuverability, quick reaction time, and agility, making it easier to handle during fast rallies.
• Medium Flex Shaft: The medium flexibility offers a good blend of power and control, allowing intermediate players to generate power while maintaining precision.
• AERO Frame: The aerodynamic, smooth frame contour minimizes air resistance, leading to faster swing speeds for more explosive counter-attacks.
• Isometric Sweet Spot: The square-shaped isometric head increases the sweet spot size by 7% compared to a traditional round frame, making off-center shots more forgiving.
• Sonic Flare System: This system uses advanced graphite materials to provide greater stability and power, resulting in maximum shuttle acceleration off the strings.
• Full Graphite Construction: The use of graphite throughout the racket frame and shaft ensures durability while keeping the overall weight down.
• Solid Feel Core: This technology helps to minimize unwanted vibrations from the shuttlecock, leading to a smoother and more comfortable feel on impact.
