Yonex Nanoflare 1000 Play - Overview & Performance Highlights

The Yonex Nanoflare 1000 Play (item code NF-1000P) is designed for recreational/beginner players seeking a lightweight, manoeuvrable racquet emphasising speed and fast swing. According to Yonex's official specification, it features a medium flex shaft.

It is available in the 4U (G5,G6) variant and has stringing advice up to 20-28 lbs.

The balance is explicitly listed as Head Light on certain regional sites, indicating ease of handling and fast reaction rather than heavy smash power.

Being part of the Nanoflare line, it retains design cues for fast racquet head speed and shuttle acceleration, including a frame that is 10 mm longer than standard.

Best For

  • Intermediate all-round players looking for a balance of power and control.
  • Defensive or fast doubles players needing quick maneuverability.
  • Players needing faster handling and quick transitions in doubles (4U).
  • Intermediate to advanced players who appreciate a frame capable of tighter tensions, but it still performs well at lower, more forgiving tension setups.
