The flex rating of a racket influences how power is generated and how the shuttle responds at contact. It plays a major role in playability, especially during smashes, drives, and defensive lifts.
Nanoflare 700 Game features a flexible shaft, while Nanoflare 1000 Game uses a medium shaft. Flexible shafts bend more easily during a swing, returning stored energy into the shuttle. This helps players generate effortless clears and lifts even without high swing speed. They reduce fatigue over long sessions and support defensive recovery, though they sacrifice some precision during hard hits. By comparison, Medium flex rackets provide a balance between accuracy and repulsion. They are well-suited for intermediate players transitioning to higher levels or those who want a racket that works for both power and control without specializing too strongly in one direction..
Players who hit with full-body rotation and strong wrist snap may benefit more from the characteristics of Nanoflare 1000 Game, while those who prefer rallies, longer games and effortless depth will appreciate the support offered by Nanoflare 700 Game.

Balance affects swing sensation, shot recovery, and how easily power transfers into the shuttle. Even a similar weight racket can feel completely different depending on where the mass is distributed.
Nanoflare 700 Game is even, while Nanoflare 1000 Game is head light. Even-balance rackets sit between power and agility, offering adaptability in offense and defense. They suit all-round players who rotate between front and back court roles. While not extreme in either direction, they offer consistent response across most shot styles. On the other hand, Head-light rackets are faster to maneuver and excel in quick exchanges, drive battles and defensive reactions. They support front-court play, fast interceptions, and doubles reflex shots - ideal for players who rely on speed instead of raw smash power..
Because their balance philosophies differ, players will instantly notice a change in tempo and swing feel when switching between them - one racket may encourage attacking play from the rear court, while the other enhances quick exchanges and defense.

Both rackets are offered in similar weight categories (4U). Because weight classes align closely, power and speed differences will likely be subtle and influenced more by flex, balance and string setup than pure mass.
