YONEX Nanoflare700 4U G4 Grip Size Red Badminton Racket

The YONEX Nanoflare 700 (4U, G4) is a speed-focused racket built for intermediate to advanced players who demand lightning-fast swings and precise control. Constructed with HM Graphite, Torayca M40X and Super HMG materials, the Nanoflare 700 delivers superior repulsion and frame stability while keeping the overall weight extremely light (≈83 g). The isometric head enlarges the sweet spot for consistent contact, while the slim shaft and advanced T-joint reduce air resistance and unwanted vibration. Prepped for players who like to dominate rallies with speed and quick recovery, this Red Nanoflare 700 is an ideal choice for UAE club players and competitive amateurs seeking a fast, maneuverable racquet.

This guide covers stringing prep, grip setup, basic care, and troubleshooting for the YONEX Nanoflare 700.

Step 1 — Inspect before stringing:
Examine the frame, grommets, and T-joint for any visible damage or manufacturing defects. Because of the slim shaft and high-tensile composite materials, confirm grommets are intact to prevent string cuts.

Step 2 — Select strings & tension:
Choose a string that matches your play style—thin gauge (0.65–0.70 mm) for repulsion and feel; slightly thicker for durability. Recommended maximum tension: ≤ 30 lbs. For faster repulsion, use mid-low tension; for tighter control, string closer to the top end.

Step 3 — Professional stringing:
Have the Nanoflare 700 strung by an experienced stringer familiar with isometric frames and single-pass grommet patterns. Proper main and cross sequencing prevents frame stress and ensures consistent tension across the bed.

Step 4 — Wrap the grip:
The G4 grip is slim for enhanced maneuverability. If you need more cushioning, add an overgrip. Wrap tightly and overlap slightly for a smooth, secure finish that improves sweat absorption and control.

Step 5 — Test & adjust:
After stringing and gripping, perform light swings and net drills to feel balance and tension. If the racket feels too “bouncy” or unstable, consider adjusting string tension or changing string type.

Step 6 — Daily care:
Wipe the frame and shaft after play to remove sweat and dust. Store the racket in a protective cover away from extreme heat or direct sunlight—UAE temperatures can warp strings and degrade adhesives. Avoid leaving the racket in a hot car.

Troubleshooting:

• Excess vibration: Replace strings or add a dampening overgrip; check for damaged grommets.

• Loss of repulsion: Strings may have stretched—consider restringing.

• Grommet wear: Replace grommets promptly to protect the frame.

Following this routine preserves performance and extends the life of your Nanoflare 700 while keeping playability consistent session after session.

1. Is the Yonex Nanoflare 700 good for intermediate players?

Yes. The Nanoflare 700 (4U) is ideal for intermediate players moving toward advanced speed-based play. Its ultralight frame and responsive shaft enable faster swing speed and quick recovery—useful for doubles and fast singles rallies. The isometric sweet spot and T-joint stability help maintain control while you increase shot pace. Players should pair it with an appropriate string type and tension to match the desired balance of repulsion and control.

2. What is the difference between Nanoflare and Astrox series?

Nanoflare racks prioritize speed, agility, and quick repulsion—lighter shafts and aerodynamic frames for fast swing recovery. Astrox series emphasizes head-heavy power and steep angle smashes for aggressive attacking play. Choose Nanoflare for rapid rallies and fast defense, and Astrox for maximum smash power and heavy hitting.

3. What does 4U G4 mean in Yonex rackets?

“4U” identifies the weight category (approx. 80–84 g); it’s lightweight and easier to maneuver. “G4” denotes the grip size — a common Yonex grip that fits most adult hands; G4 is slightly thinner than lower G numbers, allowing faster wrist action and better handling.

4. How tight should I string the Nanoflare 700?

Yonex recommends stringing the Nanoflare 700 at ≤ 30 lbs. For speed and repulsion, players often choose mid-range tensions; for more control, increase tension closer to the upper limit. Always have the racket strung by a professional to protect the carbon frame and achieve consistent tension.

5. Can I use the Nanoflare 700 for both singles and doubles?

Yes. Its balanced, speed-focused profile and enlarged sweet spot make the Nanoflare 700 versatile across formats. Doubles players benefit from fast reflexes and net play; singles players gain from quick retrieval and control during long rallies.
