NANORAY – LIGHTNING SPEED!

The NANORAY series offers players head-light racquets that can deliver speedy shots without sacrificing on power. With streamlined aerodynamics NANOSCIENCE technology, and X-FULLERENE graphite built into the shaft for a stiff flex and unparalleled repulsion power, The NANORAY is engineered for lightning-fast shots.

1. SBZ

SBZ (SNAP BACK ZONE)

The unique frame design of the NANORAY Z-SPEED means that the frame is thinner at the midway point at either side of the racquet head. At this point, EX-HMG, the most elastic and powerful material ever, is used within the frame, allowing it to flex on impact and repel the shuttle with explosive acceleration and devastating power.

2. Swing Speed increased by 10%

Every element of this racquet has been designed to increase swing speed. A new frame cross section and ULTRA SLIM LONG SHAFT, together with cutting edge materials NANOMETRIC* and X-FULLERENE, make the NANORAY Z-SPEED the most aerodynamic racquet that YONEX has ever produced.

*NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOY^TM Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.

3. X-FULLERENE

The new generation X-Fullerene has 4 radial ribs which unite carbon atoms to form a football-like structure. The X-Fullerene is used in the resin which bonds the carbon fibres and creates the cross-link construction. The tenfold increase in binding force makes it possible to create 5% higher repulsion power and 15% greater stability.

4. Sonic Metal

SONIC METAL is an exceptionally strong, lightweight and flexible new titanium alloy which YONEX positions at the top of the frame. This has two advantages. Firstly, it gives you a higher repulsion  power, especially in attack. Secondly, it creates a clear strong sound when the shuttlecock is hit.

This acoustic, combined with the dramatic increase in repulsion, will put your opponent under immediate pressure.

5. Ultra Slim Long Shaft

The Thinnest Ever with More Power

Inserting NANOPREME into the racquet shaft ensures greater stability compared to conventional racquets. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional racquets.

6. Compact Frame

Frame construction provides fast swing and head-heavy balance

To balance the heavy racquet head, the frame has been made smaller to maintain the fast swing demanded by advanced players.

By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racquet handling speed is increased.
