Nanoflare 001 Clear

Yonex Nanoflare 001 Clear Badminton Racket

The Yonex Nanoflare 001 Clear is a lightweight 5U badminton racket designed for players who value easy handling and a responsive feel. Weighing approximately 78g, it combines a graphite frame and graphite shaft with a hi-flex shaft profile, making it a practical option for players developing their technique and looking for a racket that is easy to manoeuvre.

At 10mm longer than a standard-length racket, the Nanoflare 001 Clear provides a slightly extended playing length. Its lightweight construction can help make the racket comfortable to move during quick exchanges, while the hi-flex shaft is designed to provide additional flexibility through the swing.

The racket uses Yonex’s ISOMETRIC frame design, which increases the sweet spot by approximately 7% compared with a conventional round frame. The larger sweet spot is designed to provide more consistent contact across the stringbed, while retaining a balance of control and power.

The Nanoflare 001 Clear also incorporates Yonex’s AERO Frame, Slim Shaft, Sonic Flare System and Control Support Cap technologies. Together, these design features are intended to support aerodynamic movement, responsiveness and stability during play. The Control Support Cap provides a solid surface around the shaft and handle area, while the Sonic Flare System is part of Yonex’s frame technology for improving racket response.

With a 5U weight, hi-flex construction and recommended string tension of 20–27 lbs, the Nanoflare 001 Clear is particularly well suited to beginners and improving recreational or club players who want a very light, easy-to-handle graphite racket.
