YONEX NANOFLARE 1000 TOUR

Lightning strikes with the brand new NANOFLARE 1000. Unknown speeds become reality with the launch of this new top racket. The NANOFLARE 1000 is designed with the motif of a pillar of light, a design that expresses the speed and power of a launched shuttle. The NANOFLARE 1000 will be launched worldwide on June 16, 2023. The NANOFLARE 1000 series is designed for players seeking extra hitting and swing speed with agile maneuverability. The new wide profile frame of the NANOFLARE 1000, combined with the Sonic Flare System, generates high reflection at impact and reduces drag. For more advanced players, the NANOFLARE 1000 Z and TOUR designs combine the wide profile frame with an aerodynamic shape and compact frame to create the AERO COMPACT Frame. This new frame further improves recoil. For the advanced models, materials of high modulus graphite are used at the top and bottom of the frame, along with a SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER at the base of the frame. This reduces frame distortion and improves overall recoil performance. The new NANOFLARE 1000 racquet is already being used on court by Olympic gold medalist in Rio, Carolina Marin (ESP), silver medalist of the 2022 All England, Lakshya Sen (IND), and the 2022 French Open champion, He Bing Jiao (CHN). The rackets are scheduled for global launch on June 16, 2023, in four different models: Z, TOUR, GAME and PLAY - each developed with the same performance concept but with variations in materials used.

IMPROVED SONIC FLARE SYSTEM
The improved Sonic Flare System is built by a careful combination of EX-HYPER MG graphite, at the top of the frame and a strong but elastic graphite, M40X, at the base of the frame. These graphite materials provide high reflection for maximum shuttle acceleration, but the carefully calculated placement, volume and combination of the graphite materials also deliver stability and control.
SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER
The SPEED-ASSIST BUMPER is a connected cover plate containing a highly rigid material that resists deformation. They are attached to the lower part of the frame to reduce frame deformation and improve rebound performance.
AERO COMPACT Frame (NF 1000 Z, NF 1000 Tour).
The unique frame design of the NANOFLARE 1000 combines a wide frame with an AERO shape and a compact frame (smaller area) to improve rebound while reducing drag. (Wide profile frame + smaller frame shape = AERO COMPACT Frame)
