Badminton Racket YONEX NR700PR Reviews
The originator of the NR series, and also the former racket of the wife of the Chinese Badminton Club, is the NR700, or to be more precise, the RP, which is the version that was launched earlier than the FX. Generally speaking, the first series of high-end racket are more or less faulty, mainly due to the market’s acceptance of new technologies and new ideas and manufacturers of new concepts of product understanding there is a slow elevation of the process. rp this racket did not get a relatively high level of recognition.
However, Aerotus author have played over, NR700 era of production will only be better.
Parameters: 3UG5, de-bottomed, total weight of 86.5g in use condition, balance point 304mm, center shaft length 214mm, medium stiffness, wind-breaking frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string groove, warranty 25lbs, stringing 24-25lbs BS720.
Compared to the NR750, 800, 900 and even ZSP of the latter Jinn, the RP is rather ordinary in appearance. The outside of the racket frame is a dark brown color similar to herbal tonics, while the inside is predominantly bronze with some bright yellow decals added. The perception is relatively flat, the sense of hierarchy is not obvious. The author’s hands came to the new shoot, but the strength of the paint seems to be not as good as it should be, the sticker is easier to be scratched, and the visual experience is mediocre.
This 2011 racket has a very typical speed racket feel, with a low swingweight and high windbreak efficiency, and a sharp sound effect on short power shots. The frame is narrower and the face is larger, but the sweet spot is also larger, making it easy to find the right spot when hitting the ball, and the feel of the power is clear. With the latest Fullerene material, the middle of the shaft is still flexible, the same level as NR750, and at least it won’t fall out of gear when you use it nowadays. The racquet is moderately easy to get started with, with a clear drive feel, and the low swingweight means that the physical exertion is relatively low when using it for long periods of time. The only thing that needs to be examined later on is whether or not this racquet, which emphasizes more on the active power, will cause the quality of shots to slip after the energy and physicality have dropped off.
Looking at the professional players who have used RP, both singles and doubles players, rich women and bullfrogs who play in a masculine style, and strong women and Nasir who are strong in front of the net, it seems that there is no indication of the underlying tendency of the racquet. It’s also true that the 700RP is more of a balanced racquet with a high swing speed than a speedy racquet, even though it’s called the NR speed racquet.
There is a ball-holding feeling on the racket face, not much different from the NR750, which produces a more stable performance in small-ball control. Near the net, although the rubbing hand feeling is much lighter, once let me feel the heart is not bottom, but from the effect of the shot, the quality of the return is quite controllable.
For long distance push-pick, flat and high pressure shots, it still produces a certain sense of distrust after the shot. It’s not that the NR700RP is not good, but it’s always a mistake to hit the ball out of the way. In fact, it still has a good sense of speed on the ball, which can be adapted by golfers who like this kind of lightweight feel.
But if you analyze it from a consistency standpoint, that’s saying a lot. In terms of head weight, the NR700 is a bit higher than the 750, so you can use the inertia of the racket head to drive the ball a bit more in short bursts. If the 750 is purely consistent and fast, then the 700 splits a little bit of that flair into the power of the ball, making for a little bit more confrontational play.
When it comes to offense, I have to admit that the NR700 still has some reservations about explosiveness. Subjectively, the feel of the ball can’t be helped, after all, the balance point is only 290mm, but the elasticity of the center stick and the racket face will transfer all the energy to the head as long as possible during the killing process, so its heavy kills are quite fast in terms of the speed of the ball, but it’s still in the state of being easy to be picked up on the top of the ball. Can’t say it’s great, but this performance is a surprise relative to its stature.
It’s similar to the NR750 in that it’s not as stable as the NR750, but still has a lot to offer against it.
