      POST An easy-to-handle, well-balanced racket

      I'm using the 4U NANOFLARE 800 GAME. The previous NANOFLARE 800 (4U) stood out for its easy swing and strong repulsion, and I felt it was a peaky racket aimed at advanced players. This model tones down the repulsion and has better shuttle hold, so I think it's better balanced.
      Also, maybe because it's not as easy to swing as the previous model, for better or worse you feel the weight of the head when you swing it. (Personally I find it easier to use)

      On top of that, the GAME is an intermediate model and the shaft isn't too stiff, so it's easy to handle.
      Overall, as a head-light model leaning toward even balance, I think it's a well-balanced, easy-to-use racket that will appeal to everyone.
      On the other hand, because it's more balanced, drives and high backhands felt better to hit through with the previous model.

      I only hit with the PRO (4U) a little, but its basic direction is the same as the GAME, and I think it's easier to handle than the previous model. Compared to the GAME, I felt it tends to have stronger repulsion, maybe because the shaft is stiffer (drives really carry). Also, the head felt slightly heavier on the PRO.

      Compared with the 800, underarm shots got better, but overhead shots felt worse.
      I think it's a racket I can recommend to people who play front court.

      peter mogeru （Experience：6-10 years） Easy to use

      It's very easy to use
      Before using the 800 PRO, I used the NANOFLARE 800
      Compared to the discontinued 800, the feel has changed a lot, in both good and bad ways
      I felt the 800 is better than the PRO for doubles

    • Badminton is the best!

      Badminton is the best! （Experience：Less than a year） Easy to use

      It's lighter and more head-light than the ASTROX 88S PRO, so it flies well even with a light swing. Personally I find the 4U easy to use!
