I got my dad the Nanoflare 1000 Play as he was new to Yonex rackets and he is so happy with it that we are now considering getting one Tour and one Z model, except that I’ll be stringing the Z at around 28Lbs with either BG-80 or Exbolt 63/65 and he will probably go for the Aerobite string at his go to 25Lbs, since he absolutely loves it on the Play. I’ve used like 15 different Yonex rackets to date and I’m fearing that the 1000 Tour/Z might knock out the Astrox 88D Pro from my personal top spot. Will have to give them a go and see.
Nanoflare 1000z is the most amazing racket that i've tried, it's just effortless using it if you can handle stiff and compact frame.. i've tried exbolt 63 and bg 80 at 28/30 lbs and it just no problem using it..
Coming from the 100zz, I was rlly surprised when I tried the 1000z play, since for some reason it felt harder to use and just more bulky in general. It may not be rhe stiffness, but I felt like it was a bit harder to handle than the 100zz😮
@@skysportsgt1902 yeah same thing for the arc 11 play, the 11 pro felt just a little, but still noticably better. I feel like the pro models will generally have easier handling
How did the 4U 1000x compared to 4U 100x in your experience? Frame size and error hit rates aside, I'm more interested in knowing how does the rear court performance for these 2 compare. Thanks!
Hey @ckYew hope you’re doing well, can u please rate all these versions compared to the 1000z for example if you rate 1000z as 10/10 how will you rate tour , game and the play out of 10..
This video would have been amazing when the rackets came out for the more budget conscious individuals who seek a review on them but wants the latest rackets. There was only one video like this on utube comparing the entire line together.
Now there’s more than 1 video 😊😊 in honest fact, the U.K. doesn’t even have the Tour rackets yet so not everywhere gets the full release when it’s publicly made available.
Was waiting for this one. Amazing review as always! I'm an Amateur Intermediate player, playing twice a week. Looking for a fast racket easy to play with. In my area NanoFlare 1000 Game and Arcsaber 11 Tour are almost same price. Which one you recommend? Thanks so much.
the play variant being lighter than the game? but how..? the game had a 293mm balance point with a 83.5kg swing weight, while the play had a 303mn balance point and 88kg swing weight.
Not sure where you’re based but I suppose most universities will have a badminton club? I’m aware of many universities with badminton clubs that play in competitive leagues.
@@CKYew If you ever meet Ginting for the interview, could you ask him the reason he is still using Aeronaut 9000 instead of AxForce 100? I saw him using AxForce 100 only once during the Sudirman Cup, i think it suits him hahaha
@@CKYewThank you so much! I am currently planning on getting the pro version of the 77, but wanted to see your thoughts on the other budgeted versions as well. Looking forward to your review!
Hello, I'm an intermediate badminton player that wants to get a new racket. If I'm more balanced in playing, then would the nanoflare 1000 play, arcsaber 11 play, or the 99 play would fit me?
800 is much faster and better racket IMO 800 felt special from the very first hit, this z didn't feel special whatsoever, definitely has a powerful hit when connected properly I'll admit and feels more of a power racket than speed
@@CKYew Definitely enjoyed it! Still confused as to which I'm getting though. Would like to get maybe a tour, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough for it :( The price of the Play in our country is also spiked up though. It's around 100 USD here, on malls though. Can't really find them outside malls yet.
since u already review a lot of play series rackets...i thought u may consider reviewing other yonex popular budget series like astrox lite series, voltric lite, arcsaber light series something like that
Hello, I am using a nf800 3U, my preferred weight is 4u but using 3u as I felt I lacked power with 4u nf800. For nf1000z should I pick 4u? I only play doubles.
Hey CK, I’m an intermediate doubles player and I currently use the Nanoflare 1000 play. I think it is very impressive but definitely not for me as I don’t really like the feel of head light rackets. I am unable to pick between the Astrox 88d play or 88s play, heard they are both good value rackets but I don’t know which is for me🤔
Arcsaber 7 Play Even Balanced racket for Double game recommended and nicer to use as i currently using after switched from Arcsaber 11 Play which i felt it not suit me.
Thanks for the video. It got me trying out these Yonex rackets - I have not used a Yonex racket for over 20 years. They broke too quickly in my hands 😁. I noticed the 1000Z is too rigid for me (my wrist and lower arm is not fast enough to fully utilize the capability of the 1000Z). I like the 1000 Tour better but I am concerned that the vibration damping grommets (my stringer may not have access to them). All the rackets have a maximum tension less than 30 lb so I may push the warranty limit on the string tension under the pre-stretch condition. Also, I purchase 3-4 rackets at a time so the 1000 Tour will be too expensive for my taste. I tried the 1000 Game and the 1000 Play as well. They did not give me the feedback/vibration that I want. Just for the reference, all the rackets were stringed with Yonex Exbolt 63 with tension 26/28 lb with no pre-stretch and done 24 hr before I used them. Please keep posting these video of different rackets - not many of us will have the opportunity to test out the racekts before buying.
I'm glad it helped you through your racket finding process, even if you didnt end up liking them. That's the whole point of me making videos like these, it's to help everyone find what they're looking for 👍
Hi, I am confused between the Nanoflare 1000 tour, Arcsaber 7 pro or the new Nanoflare Nextage. I am a casual intermediate level player who just got back into badminton. What would you recommend for someone who likes to play trick shots and drop shots and not a lot of smashes?
any chance you will be reviewing the new thruster TTY A. I use the thruster f claw currently and this new one was just released in India thinking whether to get it or not
Hello brother, hope you are doing well. Need a suggestion. I am thinking to buy a new racquet. I have started playing after a long time and I don't feel nice with my old racquet. I have an carbonex 8000 Ti😅. Which racquet would you suggest?
Why do yonex racket wooden handles now is long? I find it difficult to use longer wooden handle compare to the previous yonex racket that have shorter wooden handles range from 16-16.5.
There has been a mixed reception for the 1000Z. It's been like marmite lol. But don't leave us hanging, will you actually be switching over from your Astrox 88D Pro?
i would say it's more powerful and crispy due to it has similar 700 thick head frame and compact size just like 800 🔥 surely it's not as fast as 800 in term of speed, but it's too not far behind i would say 👍 we're talking about nanoflare anyway if you looking for more power, i would rate em in order 1000z>700>800 since it got the crispy feeling and all momentums to create faster swing to generate more powerful shot, i think you would like it! 🍻 also tour has the closest feel/ even similar feeling to pro/ z series
How much balance points shifts once racquet is gutted. for eg: if balance point is 300mm and gutted with bgpower 80 with 28lbs tension. what will be the final balance point.
Thars unfortunate, but it has an extra durable frame capable of withstanding up to 35lbs, made in taiwan, 10mm longer shaft made of neomesh neo, and in malaysia its around rm460, would say its an absolute bargain
Sir I am double and full attacking player i am confused with NF1000 tour, ax99 tour and ax100zz tour any suggestions from your side pls. Thank in advance
Great video! Very informative! My question though is how does the nanoflare 1000 GAME compare to the nanoflare 555? They both have the same exact specs and price. The only difference is colour? Cheers

Nanoflare 555 is the equivalent of tour series because it has the Rexis shaft that tour series have 1000 game have thicker frame as i remember and 5mm longer length, while 555 has thinner frame, 10mm longer and slimmer shaft (ultra vs super). Also, 555’s flex is stiff As a 555 user before, it excels in swing speed, hence good in defense and fast net play. If you have enough arm power, its stiffness provides good smash, hitting feel, and control I have tried 1000z, its fast but not as light/fast as 555, but it is easier to generate more power. So in my opinion 1000 is easier for attacking and 555 for defense If it is my money, i’ll go for 1000, its newer hahaha, but i prefer 555’s color

Tour balance point is 313mm , although it is mentioned is head light racquet.
Awesome to know the game is almost like the tour, been playing with it and loving it :D its so fast
Glad you enjoy it!
How does it perform with smash?
Been using Nanoflare 1000 Tour for 3 weeks. Love it.

Maybe not harder to handle, but not comfortable in ur hand because u used to use the solid highend 100zz
