Yonex Nanoflare 800 (End Aug 2019 release)

Played with both NF700 (4U5) and NF800 (3U5), both using BG66 Ultimax 24/26lbs.

Loved the 700 for net play, so accurate. Fast racquet but had to generate more of my own for clearance and lifts. Loved how quick it is, great for defence especially in doubles.

Also loved the 800 but i think I'll use it more for singles as it's a more all-round racquet. I thought the 700 was fast until I tried the 800 - it's ridiculous! I feel it's jack-of-all-trades type of racquet. I like the precision and feedback it gives, though tiny mishits do get punished.

I'm more of a defensive player so smashes are not my priority in my game but the 800 does add a bit more punch compared to the 700. Maybe purely it's a heavier racquet. Will try the 800 4U5 some time later to compare.

So you like 800 better?
 
I like both... probably will use 700 for doubles or against very aggressive players and 800 for singles.
 
Still don't see ya image. Let me help.

Anyway the guy claiming warranty. So until Yonex investigations are over, we can't conclude it's the racket.

Owner did suspect it is a stringer problem too. Racket was only on 26lb. 4u G5 66um.

To me, this (NF800) is the most difficult and demanding racket i have used. It is demanding in many area to use it well. I guess it will be a long time to get used to this racket or i may never get used to it and it will be up for sale in time to be.

Have you played with relatively flexible rackets before? nf800 is pretty stiff. Also, nf800 is not a forgiving racket bec of head shape. So, if you are looking for more user friendly speed racket, I may suggest you auraspeed 90s from victor. I think ars90s has more power and better than nf700 in every aspect. I used all rackets and this is my personal opinion. I love 90s and nf800 but didnt like nf700 at all.

Isn't this like the same as the NS & NR series with a little of modifications? Even balance + stiff?

I wouldn't say so. They've done something relatively different compared to everything before. Stiffness and balance aside. They've downsized the overall frame profile by making the racket head more dense which is what gives it such an excellent solidity. Yet with such a small cross section the aerodynamics are improved tremendously over a regular isometric frame with a similar profile. I do have the old 9900 (not the 2016 re-release crap), and tbh I find the NF800 has a stiffer shaft. But that's to be expected with advances in materials used fro rackets. They're only gonna get stiffer while still being able to flex just as much as before which I think is the right way to go.

Another 4U copy collapsing. The trend is getting worrying indeed. I'm about to get my 3rd 3U lmao.
