Yonex Nanoflare 555 - Speed-Series Overview & Performance Highlights
The Yonex Nanoflare 555 is engineered for players prioritising ultra-fast racquet handling and quick shuttle acceleration. According to the official Yonex spec page, it uses a stiff flex shaft.
It is offered in the 4U (G4,G5) variant (approx. 83 g average) with stringing advice up to 20-28 lbs.
Tech features include HM Graphite, Nanocell NEO, EX-HMG and Solid Titanium in the frame, a built-in T-Joint, and a 10 mm longer overall length for increased reach and shuttle hold.
Although the official spec does not explicitly label the balance as head-light, multiple sources list the balance point as head-light, making this racquet particularly suitable for fast swing and quick reaction play.
