The Yonex Nanoflare 170 Light is a badminton racket designed to give speed and maneuverability on the court, thanks to the very low weight of the frame and shaft (5U). Since it is light, Yonex added the Sonic Flare System, which positions graphite in the frame to generate the necessary power and speed. The Aero+Box frame gives solid response to the shot and a fast swing in transitions. The shaft is Hi-Flex (flexible) and the length is 10 mm longer. It suits defense, singles and doubles.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
