Yonex Nanoflare 700 Play - Technical Review & Full Performance Breakdown
The Yonex Nanoflare 700 Play is designed for beginners to intermediate players seeking rapid swing speeds, agile handling and elevated shuttle acceleration. Built on the Nanoflare series' fast-drive DNA with a Hi-Flex shaft (mapped here as "flexible") and a lengthened frame ("10 mm longer"), it enhances repulsion and momentum for attacking clears and drives.
Offered in the 4U weight class with grip size option G5, the racquet supports a light maneuverable build (~ 83-84 g) that promotes quicker reaction and movement. With a recommended maximum string tension of up to 28 lbs (for the 4U version) it accommodates moderate to higher tension setups for players exploring more refined string performance.
Whether you're shifting into a more aggressive play style or simply seeking a responsive, modern frame to grow into your game, the Nanoflare 700 Play delivers ease of handling, enhanced volley speed and the trusted build quality of Yonex.
