    With the swing of the finest frame and the play of "X - fullerene", overcome the speed rally.

    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    The NANORAY 800 is highly evaluated for its lightweight design and excellent maneuverability, making it ideal for doubles and net play. However, its tendency to break easily is frequently noted, and user satisfaction varies depending on playing style and skill level.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Lightweight with excellent swing-through for doubles play
    • Head-light design provides superior handling performance
    • Ideal for aggressive shots like drives and smashes
    • Suitable for both beginners and advanced players
    • Durability concerns due to breakage issues
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveBeing lightweight and head-light, the maneuverability is excellent, allowing you to outplay opponents even in fast rallies. The racket also adapts quickly without a long break-in period.
    ▽ CriticalWhile the light weight is an advantage, the racket is prone to breaking. Mine broke when I hit a smash without any prior impact.

    • Udon is a staple food too

      Udon is a staple food too （Experience：6-10 years） The racket that suits me best of my life

      I've played badminton since elementary school and went to nationals in elementary school and high school. I'm basically a doubles player, and the NANORAY 800 has just the right weight, so I can consistently hit really good shots. It's easy to hit cleanly. It was a racket that took no time at all to get used to.

      Kenji （Experience：11-20 years） It's really light, so I recommend it for women

      I recently started playing badminton seriously and was struggling to choose a racket. Then a friend I play with recommended the NANORAY 800, and I've been using it. It feels great to use, it's light so my arm doesn't get tired, and it's easy to swing, so I can hit power smashes nicely. It's a racket I recommend for small children and women.

      Kacchan （Experience：2-3 years） The first racket a beginner chose

      I'm a beginner who's only been playing for about a year, and after thinking long and hard, the first racket I chose was the NANORAY 800. What I considered, in my own beginner's way, when choosing a racket was how light a racket I could get. When I first started badminton I had no strength, so I'd get sore muscles right away, and rackets felt heavy and hard to swing, but my friend's racket (an expensive one) was easy to swing and light, so I used it as a reference and chose this racket.

      Sokomura Goro （Experience：6-10 years） Lets you hit strong speed shots

      Thanks to "Sonic Metal", a new titanium alloy that's both light and supple, I feel it's easy to hit speed shots. If you're working toward an attacking playing style, it's also plenty useful as a practice racket.

      kotarou （Experience：11-20 years） If you want to hit high-speed smashes from a light head

      The head is light, so it's maneuverable, and it's an easy racket to use for both men and women. I'm a hard-smasher type, and I think it has the best balance of feel and speed of any racket I've used. Receiving is fairly easy too.

    • Dango

      Dango （Experience：11-20 years） A racket you can master right away

      It's on the light side, but it feels neither too light nor too heavy. It also has some flex and is very easy to handle, so I think it's good for receiving, the front court in doubles, singles and so on. Compared to other series, I do get the impression it breaks easily when it hits something.

    • Naniwa

      Naniwa （Experience：11-20 years） Excellent ease of use

      The NANORAY series is a racket I recommend for all-around players. Among them, the NANORAY 800 feels a bit light and isn't stiff, so I think it's easy to use in both singles and doubles. For advanced players, it suits the front court in doubles. It also seems to break more easily than other series, so if you play doubles seriously, I think you should use it knowing it may break.
