I don't think I've heard a bad thing about this racquet. Might give it the go ahead and buy my first pro quality rack. Partly because of the reviews but also because for some reason I find tour level racquets to *feel* a lot stiffer than when I borrow a pro counterpart.
Hi Paul! I'm currently using an arcsaber 7 Pro (4UG5) as my main racket and I love the feel of the racket. Does the Nanoflare 700 Pro have the same feel and flex as the Arcsaber 7 Pro?
It won’t have the same feel as it’s completely different construction and materials. I think flex is different too but I can’t compare at the moment as I had to return my 700 pro to yonex
Out of the two rackets mentioned, from a perspective of feel, it is closer to 4U NF1000. If we compare based on head weight, then it’s closer to the original 800
@@TheBadmintonCoach yes that’s was I thinking ! Thank you And last question, between 1000Z 4U and 800 pro 3U or 4U, which one will be the faster and more speed ? Still 1000 Z ?
Hi Paul : I am Terry , long time no hear from you , Compare to Nanoflare 800 Pro , out of 10 , how many mark would you give Nanoflare 700 , and between these 2 racket , which racket would you feel is faster Swing speed . Thanks
I have used both of these rackets. I can’t get hold on 700 pro as only Limited supplies arrived in U.K. This depend on personal taste for flex and head weight. 700 pro swings faster but that doesn’t mean anything on its own. Every aspect of a racket is relative to a players hand skills and personal tastes
I don’t have the original to compare but from memory it was a thin, light head with stiff flex. It’s a completely different feel due to the mass of the frame. The 700 pro will feel a little slower
I was using Exbolt 68 at 27lbs. I don’t play often and these days would identify more as a defensive thinker. I don’t know where you are to offer advice on borrowing or testing the racket

Hello Paul, For several years I have learned that it is necessary to take your criticisms into account even when a priori I am not on this type of light racket in mind. Recently, I asked your opinion about the Victor Hx900. I'm trying to better understand (in French) what you describe in terms of the sensation of impact behind the frame, which is fundamental for me. For example, I find that the Hx900 is more subtle than the Mxjjs or the Bs10 and also more stable in terms of the frame. On Victor's side, this nanoflare 700 pro would be close to which racket...even very old, according to you. Thank you in advance!
@@TheBadmintonCoach When do you think you will be able to start testing recent Victor rackets? I can't wait to hear about your expertise. I need to move on to a new Victor model but like many other players, I can't try it as much as I would like.😅
Im planning to switch from Astrox 88d pro 3rd gen to nanoflare racket. Still contemplating which one is better the 800 pro or this 700 pro? Its pretty hard for me to get in defense under pressure using the Astrox that is why I want to change my racket to light head racket.
Hello, and thanks for the review! I want to buy a nanoflare, but I'm hesitating between the 1000z and the 700 pro. Knowing that you've also tested the nanoflare 1000z, can you quickly compare the 2 rackets in terms of power, control and speed? Thanks for your time!
1000z will feel heavier and slower to swing. It’s also a lot stiffer. Power and control are skill factors. Some players find a heavier racket works better and some worry about the weights
Hi, i'm currently using nf1000 game and looking for an upgrade. Do you think the nf700 pro will be an upgrade for me? I'm currently thinking that my nf1000game is lacking of power. Will this nf700pro stronger than nf1000 game for lobs and smashes? I am a front double player.

@@TheBadmintonCoach 1. With this setup (exbolt 63 at 24 - 26) i felt sometime the cock is not flew as accurate where i want it to.

And the vibrate was so powerful on my hand. And sometimes i feel the racket is kinda swaying or wiggle when swinging if i use full power. Do i really need to change my racket or maybe just change my string? Is the pro version is significantly better than the game version? Or pro version is really suitable for skillful player only and beginner level should stay in play or game version of those rackets? Or i should just train and train in my currect rackets till i have more skill rather than changing rackets? In my city there is no shop that have those items so i can't try it beforehand..

Love your review of the Nanoflare 700 Pro. I re-discovered my love of Yonex Arcsaber 10 last year and I keep going back to it despite splashong out on the new Arcsaber 11 & 7 Pro. But it is very well used and very likely to break soon. How do you think the 700 Pro compare to my beloved Arcsaber 10? thank you, Eric
Eric This is a good question. Arc 10 was even balance stiff flex with a soft feel on the frame. 700 is a medium flex, head light but still a softer feel. Not certain the flex will affect you too much. However, I suspect you will enjoy the improved mass behind the shot
@@TheBadmintonCoach A very interesting comment about the 'mass' of the racket. I borrowed a Nanoflare 800 Tour from one of my club's member and it felt a lot more solid than my old Arcsaber.
It surprised me too. However, considering Nanoflare is a fast frame, I felt Yonex needed a lighter headed racket to generate more head speed and get closer to the feel of the old 800 and the Nanospeed 9900
