I believe a new Nanoflare model was secretly used during the recent All England by Lakshya Sen and possibly He Bing Jiao was seen with a mystery racket aswell.
Heres some information from BadmintonCN, i cant read japanese but im sure other members here can translate
Was just chatting with a rep from yonex. He was holding the new model during the yonex meeting and he said the frame is quite thick and Abit head light. The yonex dealer said it's "head heavy"...but at the same time yonex says alot of their racquets are head heavy but actually not in reality.
Could be like the Z speed. Put it in the headlight line of racquets, but it's actually heavier than their even balanced line.
If it's anything like nf700, it might just be an instant buy for me Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk
just wondering is that all black color is final or not. got a zforce-2 vibe which is nice. plain jane paintjob but superb performance and popularity
Think it was mentioned that the design is going to be revealed in May or something. But according to the specs, it will still be black Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk
What about the lightening yellow translated above ? Black with yellow lightenings ? That would be neat
Hoping for something like a Nf700 with smaller head. Also, wish Yonex would stop the use of such strong adhesive on their factory grip. It's always so cumbersome to remove cleanly! Some adhesive on both ends is suffice or lighter grade so it doesn't leave behind sticky residue.
Yonex pages on Facebook have been teasing its release this week. I love a stiff, head-light racket. So this is up my alley. Can't wait!
Found a few more images online.. No idea authentic the pictures are. https://www.facebook.com/ThaiBadmintonNews https://www.facebook.com/usmashsport
