FAQs
Yonex says that NF-1000Z is a lightning-fast racket. However, many players feel it is head-heavy for the power it generates. Is Nanoflare 1000Z head-heavy?
Traditionally, whenever Yonex has introduced a Z-series, it has been about strength. For example, the Voltric Z-Force 2 was a head-heavy racket that became a sensation after its launch. Another example is the Yonex Arcsaber Z Slash, a head-heavy/even balance racket. So, the confusion about the Yonex NF-1000Z being a head-heavy racket is quite palpable.
The confusion increased when Yonex mentioned in the newsletter that the racket was the perfect blend of speed and power. Also, many players have played powerful smashes with it. And, who can forget that Satwiksairaj Rankireddy used the NF-10000Z to create the world record for the fastest smash shot?
Many compare its feel to the Arcsaber 7 Pro. Some say it is even faster than another successful Yonex model: Arcsber 11 Pro. Its head-lightness makes it very fast. So, no, it is not a head-heavy racket.
Please note that this racket is headlight/even balanced. It may have a heavier head than other head-light models. But it is not a head-heavy racket.
I have seen people comparing Yonex NF-1000Z with the Nanoflare 800. Is there some merit in the comparison? What is your expert opinion?
A successor to the popular Nanoray series, the Yonex Nanoflare rackets are popular among recreational players and badminton professionals who enjoy head-light rackets focusing on skills and pace. You can categorize several models in the series as head-light/even-balanced.
There are several successful rackets in the Nanoflare series. So, it is common to find comparisons among them. The latest launch of the series, Nanoflare 1000Z racket complements existing pro-level models such as 800, 800LT, and 700.
A. Yonex Nanoflare 1000Z
This Made-in-Japan Nanoflare racket offers the stiffest and crispest feel upon contact. If you compare its head size with Yonex Nanoflare 700, it has a smaller compact frame that results in a faster swing speed. It means its sweet spot is also smaller when compared to NF-700.
It is available in two weight categories: 3U and 4U. It has a slightly head-heavy frame when compared to the other three models, thus allowing for more raw power.
Ideal for advanced players who want more speed and maneuverability without giving up on power. If you consider power, the Nanoflare 1000Z racket wins the game.
B. Yonex Nanoflare 800 and 800LT
Along with 800LT, the Yonex Nanoflare 800 has a stiff frame for repulsion and quick snapback. Both rackets have the smallest and thinnest frame size for the fastest swing action. However, it means both have reduced sweet spots than NF-700 and NF-1000Z.
If you compare speed, the 800LT is the fastest because of its reduced weight (5U). Nanoflare 800 (4U) and 800 (3U) come in second and third. Remember, the NF-800 and the NF-800LT rackets are not more powerful than the NF-1000Z. So, if you are looking for pure speed, go for them.
C. Yonex Nanoflare 700
When considering racket frame and head size, the racket that comes close to Nanoflare 1000Z is the 700. The 800 and 800 LT are very small and compact to the other options.
The NF-700 offers a medium and softer feel. It means the racket is not as responsive as the other three models. However, it has one of the thickest frames available on the market. The racket has a large head, thus, creating an enhanced sweet spot bigger than ever. It shows that the racket is best in terms of playability.
When it comes to defense (speed and maneuverability), the racket is faster than 1000Z 4U and 3U models. It is more user-friendly than other racket options.
I am confused between buying the Astrox 100ZZ and the Nanoflare 1000Z. What are your thoughts?
Well, both the rackets are different in terms of design and playability. Yonex has designed the Astrox 100ZZ racket for advanced players who like more power and speed. On the other hand, the Nanoflare 1000Z is well-suited for professionals who enjoy fast rallies but are not limited to doubles players.
One can say that Satwiksairaj Rankireddy used the racket for playing the fastest smash. However, the results come from a controlled environment. The NF-1000Z is a head-light/even balanced racket that is slightly more head-heavy and powerful than other head-light rackets. But, if you compare it to Astrox 100ZZ, it will fall short.
On a side note, a better comparison of the Nanoflare 1000Z can be Arcsaber 11 Pro because it offers similar results. And, both belong to the same head-light/even balance category. However, the Arcsaber 11 Pro does not produce so much power and focuses more on control.
So, if you want more power and some speed, go for AX100-ZZ. And, if you enjoy faster rallies and quick response, go for the lightning-fast Nanoflare 1000Z.
Technology
Nanometric DR and M40X
Did you know Nanometric DR was originally used in space aviation? Developed by Yonex, this unique technology involves using a new carbon material to ensure a firm hold on the shuttlecock and maintain higher repulsion after contact. The Yonex Nanoflare 1000Z also has the M40X, elastic carbon fiber for additional elasticity and faster snapback.
Aero Frame and Compact Design
The NF-1000Z gets its incredible speed from the Aero Frame. The smoother contours on the racket frame make it ideal for reduced wind resistance and deliver additional speed. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, the compact frame design helps to balance the heavy racket head and ensures faster swinging action.
ISOMETRICTM Technology
Although 3-decade old, the ISOMETRICTM technology is still one of the greatest innovations to happen to badminton. It converts the conventional round frame into a square-shaped one for an enhanced sweet spot. It delivers accurate shuttlecock placement with more power and speed.
SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER
When the SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is involved in making the grommet pattern stronger, it increases the longevity of the racket frame and prevents unfortunate warping.
Solid Feel Core
A staple of every Yonex racket created in the Japanese factory, the Solid Feed Core technology helps reduce vibrations upon contact. It makes the NF-1000Z more stable in the hands of an experienced player.
Enhanced Sonic Flare System
Yonex scientists have used the system in NF-1000Z for maximum acceleration of the shuttlecock after the point of contact. The company has used EX-HMG (High Modulus Graphite) and M40X at the top and bottom of the frame for precise placement, more stability, and better control.
Ultra PE Fiber
The Nanoflare 1000Z shaft has 'Ultra PEF' or the Ultra Poly Ethylene Fiber to absorb shock and vibrations, thus delivering accurate, precise, and controlled shots.
Did you know the company has also made the shaft super slim (in fact, the slimmest-ever by Yonex) to reduce friction caused by the wind?
Energy Boost CAP Plus
This newly-designed cap shape makes it easier to hold, especially during long rallies. Furthermore, it prevents shaft twisting and makes it more durable.
New Built-in T-Joint
As the T-Joint is lightweight, it reduces the pressure on the strings and improves the overall power and control of the racket.
