Nanoflare 700 Play

Yonex Nanoflare 700 Play 4U Badminton Racket

The Yonex Nanoflare 700 Play is a 4U badminton racket designed around speed, manoeuvrability and easy racket handling. The Silver / Sky Blue version combines a graphite frame and graphite shaft with a hi-flex profile, giving players a lightweight and responsive option for quick rallies and developing technique.

The racket features Yonex’s Sonic Flare System, which is designed to increase repulsion and shuttle acceleration. The AERO Frame helps the racket move efficiently through the air, supporting faster swing speeds and quick reactions. Together, these technologies are suited to players who value a fast, easy-to-manoeuvre racket.

The Nanoflare 700 Play is 10mm longer than a standard badminton racket and uses a 4U specification with an average weight of approximately 83g. Its head-light balance contributes to its quick handling, while the hi-flex shaft provides additional flexibility through the swing. This combination can make the racket particularly approachable for players developing their timing and stroke technique.

Yonex’s ISOMETRIC frame design increases the sweet spot compared with a conventional round frame, providing a larger effective hitting area. The racket also incorporates a Slim Shaft, helping maintain an aerodynamic profile while keeping the construction responsive.

With a recommended string tension of 20–28 lbs and a 4U G5 specification, the Nanoflare 700 Play is positioned as a lighter, easier-handling option in the Nanoflare 700 range. It is well suited to beginner players and those progressing into regular club badminton who want to prioritise speed, manoeuvability and a comfortable swing. The Silver/Sky Blue and Midnight Purple colourway gives the racket a clean, modern appearance while retaining the same Play-level specifications.
