Just last month the new NANOFLARE NF800LT as NANOFLARE NF800 original color of the light version, I got the physical object before the naive NF800LT that is NF800LTD, maybe too much trouble, less played a D. Get the physical measurements of the parameters of the moment, I know, this is not a simple thing, and it is true that the D is not there for a reason! The LT in NF800LT is not an abbreviation for limited, but for Light.
NF800LT still follows the introverted and low-profile style of the NF series in terms of coating, with a matte black racket body, and the 2-3 and 9-10 points of the frame are embellished with vectors wrapped in gold, which enhances the overall texture of the racket with the elegance of gold, and seems to contain unlimited power in the wrapped lines, which is very exciting.
The center tube is also wrapped in a brilliant golden pattern that echoes the frame.
Subject: NANOFLARE NF800LT
The weight of the racket is 78g, and 87.3g after putting on the rubber, the overall length of the racket body is 675mm, the distance from the handle to the cone cover is 205mm; the matching stringing is BG80 with 4-knot stringing method 25-27LBS (it should be noted that the limit of stringing poundage of the NF800LT is expressed as 27LBS, if it exceeds the labeled poundage, it is not possible to take part in the quality of racket quality problems. The balance point of the empty racket is 300mm (the balance parameter has been improved by 5mm compared to the original color of 295mm); after putting on the rubber, it is 301mm; the diameter of the middle tube is 6.8mm; a glance at the parameter reveals that the NF800LT has not only changed the weight specification compared to the original color, but also improved the balance point of the racket for the sake of making the ultra-lightweight easy for consumers to handle.
The NF800LT is only 87g when I first got it on the line and I was amazed at how light it was, which is an apt description of the NF800LT. Even if you’re new to ultra-light racquets, you only have to imagine that the NF800LT in your hands is just the quality of a normal 3U air racquet.
Compared to a regular box frame, the Blitz frame reduces air resistance in all directions, resulting in a faster swinging feel. The frame’s cross-section structure is able to deform like a trampoline when hitting the ball, compressing and applying flight forces to the ball. So for a racquet with a small frame like the NF800LT, the sweet spot of the ball is retracted, and the explosive power is increased as well.
The NF800LT features a new shock-absorbing material on both sides of the frame, the VDM Vibration Damping Mesh, which absorbs twice as much vibration as regular carbon. In addition, the series’ signature technology, the Sonic Blitz System, enables easy hitting of long balls, and with the new fluid frame, the air resistance is reduced accordingly. The NF800LT is also the lightest racket in the NF series, which further reduces the load of vibration on the body when hitting. For amateur players like me, who suffer from tennis elbow all the time, light weight means less negative impact on the body when hitting.
The bottom of the frame is made of a new carbon material “Torika® M40X”, which has both high strength and high rebound properties, further improving the stability and bounce of the racket. At the same time, the bottom of the frame of the NF800LT has been adjusted to minimize wind resistance and maximize swing speed.
NF800LT still uses the ISO square head frame, still the ancestral recipe, familiar flavor. Compared to DZS (20-28lbs), the high modulus and high elasticity of NF800LT is able to withstand greater tensile strength, which in turn brings a high affinity for hitting and a smaller impact force. Therefore, the NF800LT’s threading poundage is already excellent to be able to achieve the extreme value of 27BLS.
Early in the experience of 3U specifications of the NF800, I said that on the NF800 is the need for a certain power base, this sentence, as the ultra-lightweight 5U specifications of the NF800LT also applies, on the surface of the configuration of the 5U is to reduce the threshold of control of the NF800LT, but whether it is in the attack or the full range of control, the NF800LT shows the difficulty of driving in fact will not be too low. The NF800LT is not too difficult to handle, whether in offense or in all-round control.
Without the improved balance point (300mm), the overall quality of the 5U would have put off many male players. In the real battle of the long ball, the NF800LT does not need to rely too much on the big arm power that can be the bottom line of the long ball can be easily dealt with, the same in the active diagonal long ball to get rid of the process can be assured that the arm high swing, because even if it is a strong draw NF800LT own potential energy accumulation is too low, the moment of striking the ball will always be fast enough, but not heavy enough, the initial speed of the ball is quick to decelerate the ball also fast feedback.
Therefore, it must be said that in the process of using the NF800LT, players need to intentionally inhibit their own impulse to kill when they see the high, for the NF800LT, the small frame, high balance, rigidity and feedback of the outstanding frame structure and lightweight perfect match for the NF800LT in the front of the net in the downward pressure of the attack to create a series of unique advantages, unlike the predecessor of the NR series of fast, soft, light, Unlike its predecessor NR series, which is fast, soft, light, and bouncy, the NF800LT reaches the peak of rigidity when paired with BG80 strings, and the NF800LT has a great guarantee of crispness and directionality at the moment of the ball’s release. The high and balanced downward pressure of the racket body can form a good downward attack at the net, and the M40X has excellent elasticity, so the NF800LT can easily realize its explosive characteristics in a very small range of power. On the contrary, when it comes to violent kills, although NF800LT has a low balance point and the downward pressure is obvious enough, it is difficult to form powerful kills due to the light swing weight and the small center tube deformation, so it is not suitable for NF800LT’s own conditions. In the offense, you can try to find opportunities by combining continuous point kills with chopping and hanging.
The NF800LT’s flat draw is the absolute means of scoring points, and it is the new king of the draw, while in other overhand shots, its excellent elasticity in the center tube will make the player feel a clear “ejection” at the moment of the shot.
The NF800LT is by far the fastest and most flexible racquet I have ever used in the center court, while retaining the excellent directionality of the NF family of racquets, the NF800LT is able to utilize the elasticity of its mid-barrel with a minimum of force, which is better suited to hitting the lower arc of the flat high ball and the slice and dangle to create scoring opportunities. 5U The most significant advantage of the 5U is the multi-shot forward/backward switch, which allows you to be more comfortable in the ever-changing doubles net. If you’re going for the baseline, the NF800LT won’t let you down.
The stabilized frame structure of the Blast Technology makes it possible to handle small balls as expected, with no excess vibration on the face during roll and release, and sufficiently focused feedback from the stringbed at high pounds.
Due to the high pressure of the small frame, the string bed is not sharp enough to wrap the ball around the racket. The point of impact tends to be far away from the net, and you need to get used to it. After replacing the string with a softer one, there will be a significant improvement, and you can also lower the stringing poundage appropriately.
Passively, the NF800LT’s tightly retracted frame area and the consequent reduction in forgiveness rate puts it at a disadvantage during passive defense. Unlike other small racquets, the NF800LT’s lightweight body dramatically increases the swing rate to compensate for the fact that the NF800LT is more at the mercy of other racquets in a passive situation.
In the choice of hand rubber, I matched with a breathable AC106EX, in the grip feel closer to the 102C, when considering the hot weather and the color with the NF800LT more with, but who knows the temperature plummeted, the heart also instantly cooled down.
To summarize the characteristics of the NF800LT, it can be said that the feel of the ball is inclined to the fast pop, the difficulty of the hand is in the middle, requiring some power skills, and those who have had the experience of the small frame will be able to adapt to it very quickly.The NF800LT’s flat blocking interception is comfortable and natural, and the lightweight design not only reduces the difficulty of the control, but also reduces the vibration of the racket when hitting the burden on the body.
The overall characteristics of the NF800LT are more suitable for doubles net flat blocking, and the explosive power of the small frame when seizing the opportunity to press down at the net can create a quicker blocking opportunity to catch the net by surprise. However, the lightweight racket in the absolute offensive ability is still a little inferior, for the love of strong assault players still lack, in the defense and small ball handling process performance is not lost in the top level. For a lightweight 5U racket, the NF800LT still manages to get rid of the inherent image of a “feminine” racket, and the hitting experience is fast, stiff and fresh.
