Lightning strikes with the brand new NANOFLARE 1000. Uncharted speeds became reality with the realization of this new flagship racquet. The NANOFLARE 1000 is designed with the motif of a column of light, a design expressing the speed and power of a launched shuttle. The NANOFLARE 1000 is set to see a worldwide launch of June 16, 2023.

The NANOFLARE 1000 series is designed for players looking for additional shot and swing speed with agile maneuverability. The NANOFLARE 1000’s new Wide Profile Frame paired with the Sonic Flare System generates high repulsion on impact while reducing air resistance.

For more advanced players, the NANOFLARE 1000 Z and TOUR designs combine the Wide Profile Frame with an aero shape and compact frame to create the AERO COMPACT Frame. This new frame improves repulsion even further. For the advanced models, high modulus graphite materials are implemented on the top and bottom of the frame along with a SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER at the base of the frame. This reduces frame warp and improves overall repulsion performance.

The new NANOFLARE 1000 is being used on court now in the hands of Rio Olympic gold medalist, Carolina Marin (ESP), 2022 All England silver medalist, Lakshya Sen (IND), and 2022 French Open champion, He Bing Jiao (CHN). The racquets are scheduled for a global launch on June 16th, 2023, in four different models, Z, TOUR, GAME and PLAY – each developed with the same performance concept but with variations in materials used.

NANOMETRIC DR is a new carbon material developed by Yonex based on our unique NANOSCIENCE technology. Created from a material originally developed for next generation space aviation by Toray Industries, Inc., this marks the first time it has been used within the racquet industry. By combining firm shuttle hold and high repulsion, NANOMETRIC DR puts the DUORA into a class of its own.

M40X

 A next-generation highly strong, yet elastic carbon fiber developed by Toray Industries, Inc.

AERO + BOX Frame

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

ISOMETRIC

Enlarged Sweet Spot

ISOMETRIC^TM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success.

Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC^TM design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC^TM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.

ISOMETRIC^TM delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC^TM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD.

Rotational Generator System

Counterbalanced Weight Distribution

By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly, with rapid succession

Control Support CAP

Sharp Maneuverability

The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.

Max Acceleration

The revolutionary new graphite material TORAYCAR M40X and SUPER HMG provide unrivalled power and stability for maximum shuttle acceleration.
