Equipment type: badminton racket. Equipment brand: YONEX. Equipment series: NS series. Applicable range: all. Price range: 1201 – 1500 yuan. Equipment description: NS9000S. Listing date: 2006. Equipment introduction: YONEX NANOSPEED 9000 Type S badminton racket is the latest product of YONEX of Japan in 2006. It adopts YONEX’s latest racket technology – nano technology. As always, it leads the industry! Nanometer is currently the smallest unit of length applied. 1 nanometer = one billionth of a meter. The height of a human body is approximately equal to 2 billion nanometers, and DNA is approximately equal to 2 nanometers… In recent years, nanotechnology has been applied more and more widely, greatly changing our lives. From medicine to energy, communication, transportation, electronics, military, and home… it permeates everything. Now, nanotechnology is beginning to show its edge in the sports industry… A long time ago, people made rackets with a material called wood. However, this material is loose in texture, lacks elasticity, is heavy and easy to break. A few years ago, people found that aluminum alloy is not only suitable for airplanes and cars, but also has excellent performance when used as a racket frame. But soon it was found that this material cannot meet the requirements of high-level players in terms of elasticity and strength. Later, carbon fiber with light weight and good elasticity began to monopolize the racket material industry. Then it was combined with aviation materials such as titanium alloy and super titanium. But none of these can change the small gaps between carbon fibers. It is precisely this gap that is very easy to cause elastic fatigue and weaken the strength of the racket. Now, YONEX has successfully penetrated nano-sized material ‘Fralon’ particles with a diameter of 0.7 nanometers (nm) between the gaps of carbon atoms, strengthening all carbon fiber tissues on the basis of molecular bonds, increasing the impact resistance of the racket by 30%, increasing the durability by 10%, reducing the weight of the racket shaft by 15%, and improving the rebound performance by 5%! ‘Fralon’ is a football-shaped particle composed of 60 carbon atoms with a diameter of only 0.7 nanometers. The ‘Fralon’ particles created by applying nanotechnology give birth to a new generation of carbon materials. Nanotechnology can control at the molecular level and enhance the binding force between molecules. This material can exert more astonishing strength than previous rackets: the impact resistance is increased by about 30%. The strength and lightweight of the racket have been greatly improved. The birth of a new generation of carbon materials has indeed broadened the future of badminton rackets.
Yonex’s extensive research and development have culminated in the formal application of a new material to products, particularly focusing on the critical parts of badminton rackets: the shaft. This innovation allows for the coexistence of two seemingly contradictory properties: lightweight and agile handling performance along with high rebound performance. Yonex is proud to present the new generation of nano carbon badminton rackets, the ‘Nano Speed’ series.

2. The use of nanotechnology allows for a 20% reduction in racket wall thickness, thereby reducing weight by approximately 15%, while enhancing handling performance: Racket wall thinning by 20%.
3. The racket’s impact resistance is improved by about 30%, and durability is increased by 10%: Enhanced impact resistance by 30%, durability increased by 10%.
4. The adoption of new generation nano carbon increases the racket’s rebound performance by 5%: Improved rebound performance by 5%.
5. The upper part of the racket frame features a single-channel string hole design, using a staggered stringing method, effectively improving the frame’s load-bearing durability. In intense doubles matches, collisions between teammates’ rackets can easily cause frame damage. This racket utilizes a single-channel string hole design, distributing the force load more evenly at the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions, increasing frame durability by 7%, thereby reducing the rate of racket collision damage.
6. The racket frame head employs the Muscle Power arc tensile structure frame string hole design, effectively maintaining string tension and increasing smash speed by 5%. Traditional racket string systems directly support the strings on the sharp edge of the string hole glue granules, causing stress concentration at the two contact points after stringing, leading to string fatigue and rapid tension loss (commonly known as ‘drop in tension’). However, the MP structure racket’s string bed maintains good tension even after seven days of stringing, providing strong power for smashes. Additionally, the new MP structure system supports the strings on an arched string groove, connecting the two contact points into a contact arc surface, effectively eliminating stress and significantly enhancing the overall effect of the strings and racket frame, thereby enhancing the racket’s overall stability and power performance, allowing the immense energy stored in the racket during a smash to be directly transferred to the shuttlecock, increasing smash speed by 5%.

7. The racket frame adopts an aerodynamic streamlined cross-sectional design, effectively reducing air resistance: Aerodynamic streamlined design frame.
8. The racket frame shape is ISO square, expanding the sweet spot area of the racket face.
Compared with traditional rackets, the square head can provide 32% more effective hitting area (sweet spot). Even continuous smashes deviating from the center area of the racket string bed can maintain corresponding accuracy and speed. ISO square 9. The internal connection between the frame and the shaft adopts a built-in T-joint connection structure (Built-in T-Joint) to transmit greater hitting power. When hitting hard, the torsion force received by the frame is instantly transmitted to the T-shaped position of the racket. The T-shaped part bears a huge mechanical load. The built-in T-shaped alloy joint hidden in the inner layer of carbon fiber at the connection between the frame and the shaft makes all YONEX high-precision two-stage carbon fiber rackets perfectly connected into a high-strength integrated racket. This well-known built-in T-joint connection structure is YONEX’s world-exclusive patent, making YONEX rackets have both strong power and precise ball control performance.
