NF800PRO
It is said that the PRO upgrade of NF800, but in fact, through the appearance of the comparison will be found with the NF800 is not very close, and look at the wide frame wall, subconsciously will be the same spectrum of the NF700 Splendour associated together, the NF800 PRO upgrade.
As with the NF1000Z, at the root of the problem, YONEX itself couldn’t ignore the excellence of the NF700’s performance, and upgraded it vigorously to squeeze out the strongest version of the NF700!
So let’s uncommonly group the three racquets NF700/NF1000Z/NF800PRO together for a comparative analysis, and of course I made a point of inviting the 800’s TOUR, GAME, and even PLAY with the strings already pre-pulled.
Overall feeling
Combined with the parameters to talk about the feel, 4UG5 specifications under the NF800PRO hand grip feel light and agile, XXXmm 295mm balance, head heavy feeling is not that obvious, 78 line hole design, racket face net pressure is really high, no matter what with the ball line, hit the ball of the crisp feel is very significant, racket face than the NF1000Z a whole circle, racket face tolerance rate is naturally a step higher than the NF1000Z. The face of the racket is a whole circle larger than the NF1000Z, so the forgiveness rate of the racket face is naturally higher.
The most obvious feeling is that the NF800PRO’s racket surface wraps the handling feeling very soft and delicate, which is reflected in the handling of the small balls in front of the net, it is very obvious to feel that compared to the NF700 or NF1000Z are more close to the ball, the ball bracket has a greater amplitude of rotation, and the same release of the action of the net, the NF800PRO can be used to describe the smoothness of the silky-smooth.
Since we are talking about control, it is inevitable to collect, hang, wipe and slice the overhand ball.
If the small amplitude of the power to deal with the parcel control is reasonable, then a large whip, to ensure high precision and idealisation of the ball should be the focus of the control embodiment, the length of the ball, out of the ball is dry and not stagnant sticky ball is actually NF800PRO in the control of the performance of the enhancement.
With a higher friction ABBT after the overall package handling performance of the NF800PR, clearly positioned as a speed type, but its retractable package feel has reached the level of handling racquet bow sword 11pro.
On the offensive side, the NF800PRO’s point killing is very covert and comfortable, with low wind resistance and low swing weight, it is very convenient for small-amplitude lead flick, and the hitting burden on the arm and wrist is small, which is very suitable for the unexpected hitting of the point blitz.
The disadvantage is that the balance point of the attack is backward, although the angle of downward pressure can sometimes be compensated by high swing speed, and the scoring of the attack in the middle half of the court is not a big problem.
However, the disadvantage of the lighter racket head is that the overall downward pressure is not enough, and it lacks the kind of domineering violence that will ‘cover’ the ball.
Here we have to talk about the NF800 TOUR, this racket actually accidentally good kill, better down pressure and play up the threshold of the hands is indeed lower, will also be more suitable for amateur players, in addition to the same series of game I also bought to try, the racket frame into a fluid box structure at the same time, although the swing speed is not as fast as the pro and tour, but the stability of the ball is better, the ball is more solid, as for the middle tube of the power transfer is indeed to be a little bit obvious. As for the middle tube, the power transfer is indeed a little inferior, but also the most cost-effective.
Generally speaking, the PRO after the NF800 on the power of the overall consistency of the requirements of the higher, such as in many passive return or can not be used to whip the ball out of the high long ball is not that kind of calm, forcible power is also very difficult to get in place to do that kind of sugar water racket tolerance, but it is in the speed ranks of the racket and to do the manipulation of the singles to play to the ultimate balanced racket, but in fact its positioning is the doubles racket.
The offensive variations really don’t break much ground, and without the hard strings you might even feel that the 800PRO is a little weaker than the NF700. Although it is both consistent and accurate, in fact, also improves a lot of on-hand driving door frame, extreme passive environment to get rid of the harder, the control of the improvement is more obvious, but also more suitable for advanced advanced doubles players to start, singles control type of play I am also quite recommended.
