The new Aerobox frame and solid core shaft allow the racket to move smoothly through the air, providing accuracy and touch. Additionally, the energy boost cap, which introduces a new structure on the handle, brings comfort and control to the drop game.
Clear - 9.5 The new micro core allows the absorption of 2% more vibration, calling for more stability when clearing. Similar to the smash, the NAMD technology allows for an extra punch when clearing, making the shot more powerful and effective.
Drive/Defensive Lift - 8 Whilst this racket provides immense power, it doesn’t match the speed and maneuverability of the Nanoflare 800 or the Nanoray Z-Speed. With that being said, this racket still performs at a very good level. Defensive lifts and drives are still easily producible without fatigue or difficulty.
