Equipment Type: Badminton Racket, Brand: Yonex, Series: NS Series, Applicability: Universal, Price Range: Over 1501 Yuan, Equipment Description: The Yonex Nanospeed 9000 Type X badminton racket is the latest product from the Japanese Yonex company in 2006, incorporating Yonex’s latest racket technology – Nano Technology, consistently leading the industry! The term ‘nano’ refers to the smallest unit of length currently applied, where 1 nano equals one billionth of a meter, the human height is approximately 2 billion nanometers, and DNA is about 2 nanometers… In recent years, the application of nanotechnology has become increasingly widespread, greatly altering our lives, from medicine to energy, communication, transportation, electronics, military, and home applications… It permeates everything. Now, nanotechnology is beginning to show its potential in the sports industry… Long ago, people made rackets out of a material called wood, which was porous, lacked elasticity, heavy, and prone to breaking. A few years ago, it was discovered that aluminum alloy, not only suitable for aircraft and cars, also performed excellently when used for racket frames, but it was soon found that this material’s elasticity and strength could not meet the demands of high-level players. Later, lightweight and elastic carbon fiber began to dominate the racket material industry, and then combined with titanium alloy, super titanium, and other aviation materials, but these could not change the tiny gaps between carbon fibers, which are highly prone to causing elastic fatigue and weakening the strength of the racket. Now, Yonex has successfully infiltrated nano-sized material particles of ‘Flarun’ with a diameter of 0.7 nanometers (nm) between the gaps of carbon atoms, reinforcing all carbon fiber structures at the molecular bond level, increasing the racket’s impact resistance by 30%, durability by 10%, weight of the shaft part by 15%, and rebound performance by 5%! ‘Flarun’ is composed of 60 carbon atoms combined into a soccer ball-shaped particle with a diameter of only 0.7 nanometers. The ‘Flarun’ particle created by nanotechnology has given 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 exhibit a strength beyond that of previous rackets: impact resistance has increased by about 30%. The strength and lightweight nature of the racket have seen a leap in improvement. The birth of the new generation of carbon materials has indeed broadened the future of badminton rackets.
Yonex’s long-term research and development have finally brought this new material into product application, with a particular focus on the key part of badminton rackets: the shaft, where the lightweight and agile handling performance coexists with high rebound performance. Yonex’s confident creation – the new generation of nano carbon badminton rackets ‘Nano Speed’ series, has now made a grand entrance! 1.

The racket wall thickness is reduced by 20% using nanotechnology, thus reducing the weight by approximately 15%, while enhancing handling performance: Racket wall thickness is reduced by 20%. 3. The racket’s impact resistance is increased by about 30%, and durability is improved by 10%: Racket impact resistance is increased by about 30%, and durability is improved by 10%. 4. The adoption of new generation nano carbon material improves the racket’s rebound performance by 5%: Racket rebound performance is increased by 5%. 5. The upper part of the racket frame features a single-channel grommet design, using a staggered stringing method, effectively improving the frame’s load-bearing durability. In intense doubles matches, racket collisions between partners often easily cause frame damage. This racket uses a single-channel grommet design, making the frame’s load-bearing at the 2 o’clock and 10 o’clock positions more even, increasing the frame’s durability by 7%, thereby reducing the rate of racket collision damage. 6. The racket frame head features the Muscle Power arcuate tensile structure frame grommet design, which can effectively maintain string tension and increase smash speed by 5%. In traditional racket string systems, the string is directly supported on the sharp edge of the grommet glue granules. After stringing, the string and the glue granules have two contact points that produce stress concentration, making the string prone to fatigue and tension loss (commonly known as the ‘string drop’ phenomenon). However, the string bed of the MP structure racket can still maintain good tension even after seven days of stringing, providing strong power for smashes. Additionally, the new MP structure system supports the strings on a curved grommet, connecting the two contact points into a contact arc surface, which not only effectively eliminates stress but also greatly enhances the overall effect of the string and the frame, thereby enhancing the racket’s overall stability and power performance. This allows the immense energy stored in the racket during a smash to be directly transferred to the shuttlecock, increasing the smash speed by 5%. Muscle Power arcuate tensile structure frame grommet. 7. The racket frame adopts a wind-breaking streamlined section design, effectively reducing wind resistance: Wind-breaking streamlined design frame. 8. The frame shape is ISO square, expanding the sweet spot area of the racket face.

Compared to traditional rackets, the isometric head shape of the Yonex Nanospeed 9000 Type X provides an additional 32% effective hitting area, ensuring accuracy and speed even for successive smashes off the center of the string bed. The ISO square head and the built-in T-Joint structure within the frame and shaft connection allow for greater power transmission. During forceful hits, the torsion experienced by the frame is instantaneously transferred to the T-section of the racket, where it bears significant mechanical stress. The T-Joint, hidden within the carbon fiber layers at the frame and shaft connection, is made of an alloy that perfectly connects all carbon fiber rackets produced by Yonex’s high-precision two-stage process into a single, high-strength, monolithic racket. This renowned built-in T-Joint structure is a world-exclusive patent of Yonex, granting Yonex rackets both formidable power and precise ball control. The frame material consists of high-strength carbon fiber reinforced with elastic titanium fibers, while the shaft material is high-strength carbon fiber combined with nano carbon. The racket weight is available in 2U and 3U, with a length of 674mm. The grip sizes range from G3 to G5, and the shaft’s flexibility is classified as extra stiff. The recommended string tension is 20-25LBS for 2U and 19-24LBS for 3U. The balance point is not specified.
