I don’t know from which day, amateur badminton field also more and more began to pursue competitive. Unreasonable schedule, confusing classification, participate in an amateur tournament, or even just club matches, the level of high point to play six or seven games a day, the level of almost directly is a round trip. I thought it was just local, but I didn’t realize that after changing three cities, it was the same everywhere. A day’s schedule down, it seems that in addition to fatigue, also have no meaning ……
The charm of badminton has never been a single skill confrontation, to know like-minded friends, sweat to regulate the rhythm of life, career and family to spare a little time in the release of self, do not ask skills, do not seek to win or lose, to the Buddhist mentality to play a health ball. This may be a kind of professional athletes can not understand the mentality, but also a lot of professional sports equipment brands can not understand the mentality of the Buddha’s happiness, only in the body can truly appreciate.
YONEX is a badminton brand that understands badminton, and understanding badminton here refers not only to materials and technology, but also to product positioning and grasp of the market. From the ISO 800 large square head racket, to the FB series of ultra-light racket, to the GZ series of soft elastic sugar water racket, may be only YONEX will spend a lot of energy to create a handful of the court to touch the fish magic weapon!
This is a review of the NF600, a new NANOFLARE series from YONEX.
The number 6 has always been awkward in YONEX’s lineup, but it also has a very clear positioning. YONEX’s new NF600 is also very much in line with this pattern, with a simple silver and blue color scheme, not seeking to be successful but not avoiding faults, light + soft elasticity, and in the official publicity, its degree of sugar water is not inferior to that of the “touching fish”. In the official publicity, its degree of sugar water is no less than the “fish to the extreme” NR GZ.
Easy to the backfield. This is a realm and a threshold. As long as the weight is not particularly large, running is not particularly poor, the technique is not particularly strange, warm-up against the pull of two shots of long ball, the strength of the opponent is often almost understand, of course, their own ability is also leaked seven or eight. Therefore, every time I warm up to pull the long ball is very panicky, afraid of accidentally leaking the ability of my whole field of scum ……
Under the premise of no [lan] empty [de] practice, a racket that can help me to touch fish happily in the court can really help me to enhance the thrill of playing ball paddling. That sense of ease is the attack weapon, speed weapon, control weapon can not be compared, paddling weapon, touch fish weapon of the magic of the magic is that it can not help you to improve the attack, but can assist you in the passive when the posture of the good-looking a little bit, send the ball slightly in place, perhaps in singles this drop of assistance is not useful, but in doubles, but it can dramatically reduce the degree of complaints of your thighs teammates to you! !
With a thin and wide stretcher frame, long grooves covering almost the entire frame, and the new carbon material M40X for strength and elasticity, the NF600 is the same as the NF700 in terms of frame and main materials. The difference between NF700 and NF600 is that NF600 uses a kind of shock absorbing mesh called VDM, which can greatly reduce the vibration of the racket surface when hitting the ball. Meanwhile, the frame has been adjusted in local softness and elasticity, which makes NF600 able to deliver the ball to the back court easily like NR GZ, which is suitable for the players with arm injuries, limited strength skills and slower moving speed.
According to the official suggestion, I matched the NF600 with the new soft ball control string skyarc, with 0.69mm diameter, ball control positioning, and a slightly softer feel. At a glance, this is a replica of the NBG95! However, although both are ball control strings, the two strings have a very different outer layer: NBG95 has a coating, while Air Arc is more like NBG99 with a new braid structure to improve control. In terms of playing feel, the two release the net almost the same touch, both are softer, eat the ball deep, and have a strong sense of wrapping around the ball, but in the backcourt hanging, frontcourt rubbing the ball, skyarc’s friction is a little stronger, and the elasticity is significantly better than that of the NBG95.
The NF600 with 25 and 27 pounds of air arc has a high sense of control, the ball stays on the racket face for a long time, the wire bed feels strong against the butt, and hasty shots are less likely to be bared and more likely to produce varied and tricky shots. This reminds me of those big brothers and uncles on the court who are over forty years old and have been playing for more than eight years. They may not have the offense of the early twenties guys, but they have a strong defensive ability, they deal with the mid-court ball seldom said to rush the ball speed, but instead, multi-angle, multi-variation of the ball push, so that your good at pumping can not play, wear your patience until you can not help but get up the ball want to get into the defense tuned to the pace of your favorite attacking rhythm, and then, frantically began to hang all kinds of balls, just do not kill… …
Being dominated by such a big brother or uncle for the whole game is very scary because you not only can’t win, but you also can’t feel good about losing!
If you give such a big brother, big uncle with NF600 this kind of magic weapon ……
I’m not going to fight anymore!
Having said that, players who often change equipment should know what style NF600 is ……
NF600 racket head is very light, but the middle tube is relatively soft and elastic, the racket frame feel soft, in the backcourt when pulling the racket face to the butt of the ball there is a very obvious wrapping ejection feeling, this racket frame feel a little similar to NR900 and bow and arrow 10, but because the middle tube hardness is much lower than NR900 and bow and arrow 10, out of the hand with brute force to pull the high and far instead of some of the sense of relief, with a lot of force but the ball did not eject, a bit of threading pounds, but when slowing down the pace, the hitting action will do the same kind of experience two pounds lower than usual. The number of pounds lower than the usual poundage of two pounds of the kind of experience, but when slowing down the pace, the batting action to do a relatively complete, NF600 can be relatively easy to eject the ball to the backcourt, but this is a very soft sense of hitting the ball out of the rhythm is also slower, the acute is not able to manage this NF600.
Overall the NF600’s feel is very close to the NR GZ, but slightly crisper than the NR GZ, with NR750-like lightness, but the mid-barrel hardness is significantly lower than the NR750, suitable for players who have a complete launch, and usually play at a more soothing pace, but if you like a fast-paced confrontation and a hard hitting feel, then you can disregard it.
Net control is the absolute domain of the NF600, low balance point and windbreaker frame design, so that it in the forecourt than once the lowest balance point of the NR750 even lighter, and because of the strong sense of wrapping, the net is also very easy to press down, just a little bit of soft hitting feeling, a shot to seal it is very difficult to have that kind of fist to the flesh of the thrill. Although the vibration of the racket surface has been reduced, the power feedback, especially when hitting the ball hard, has been blurred, and it will be slightly muffled when matched with an overhead.
Although the official recommendation is to match with Air Arc, in my opinion, the most suitable for NF600 should be BG AS and BG 98, which have moderate softness and crispness, because the NF600 racket face already has a soft hitting feeling, and matching with Air Arc and such a soft and thicker line will be so soft that it will be boring, and the power feedback will be a bit blurred, whereas the BG AS and BG 98, which have moderate hardness and crispness, can not only maintain NF600’s own excellent ejection feeling, but also get a moderate power feedback and relatively comfortable sound, which can optimize the using experience. BG AS and BG 98, with their softness and crispness, can be used with NF600 to maintain the excellent ejection of NF600, but also get a moderate power feedback and relatively comfortable sound, which can optimize the experience of using NF600.
For very hard string, such as BG80BG ABBT, I do not recommend to use in NF600, this kind of string and NF600 own characteristics are completely opposite, the performance of the line and the performance of the racket not only can not complement each other, but also weakened the advantages of each, so that the feel of the game has become mediocre. Of course, the specific circumstances also depend on personal preferences, love to fix a particular line of players are not a few, just suggest that we can consider changing the line to adjust the playing feeling in the case of the racquet does not play well, maybe change a kind of line, will usher in the spring?
The NF600 is an extremely sugary racquet, with a soft, bouncy feel and a low balance point that gives it a very low threshold for getting started, except that this soft feel is slightly extreme, and the overall feel of the racquet is a bit muffled when paired with an air arc, and the pace of hitting the ball seems to have been slowed down by half a beat. If you like to squat in front of the doubles net, or if you like to control the middle of the court, the NF600 is a good choice. As for the pull backcourt, NF600 may only be able to add to the players who have not long been introduced to the player, wrist injuries, for the explosive power, the power of the player, NF600 pull backcourt may appear to have the power to make the situation, replacement of moderate hardness of the racket or to increase the poundage of the stringing can significantly improve this experience.
Lastly, although the feel of the racket is perfect for mixed front court and women with less power, the NF600’s paint job is a bit too low-key, and compared to the DUORA6 and AX66, the gap between them is like a passerby and a princess. It is recommended to match more bright colors, even with pink strings, to improve the overall value of the racket by clashing color schemes.
