In October 2017, in the Korean national team also said that the top four names Olympic mixed doubles champion Lee Yong Dae, Ryu Yeon Seong, Kim Ki Jung and world champion Gao Sung Hyun is about to make a comeback in the debut of the local tournament’s Korea Badminton Masters, which also means that the overall strength of the Korean men’s doubles is yet to be rebounded. Not only that, but they are also aiming for next year’s Thomas Cup.
In November 2017, Yoo Yeon Seong once again teamed up with his old partner Lee Yong Dae for the Korea Badminton Masters. In the quarterfinals of the men’s doubles, he was defeated by his South Korean teammate’s Jung Jae-wook/Kim Ki-jung in a three-set contest (21-16, 11-21, 19-21).

Subsequently, the Korean Federation filed an active complaint, assumed responsibility for the management problems, and paid a fine of US$41,170 to the Federation; the Federation’s Doping Hearing Committee ultimately ruled in April 2014 that the sanction was withdrawn because there were insufficient grounds to conclude that the athlete intentionally evaded doping control.

Last year I still left it open to write about one flagship from each of the big three factories that I hadn’t updated. Coming down hard, I decided to start with a fresh green factory release. Unlike encountering hard-to-use, deep racquets, this subtle sentiment is mixed with so much skepticism and lack of confidence, and is a rarity in so many trials. Even though the author’s use shares more of an intellectual diary nature of racquet experiences, and it’s enough to convince myself that I can generate discussion, there are times when I just can’t even convince myself.
To summarize, if one prefers a speed racket that doesn’t make mistakes, 3U’s NF800P is a no-brainer, all-around superior choice. But unfortunately, the value proposition is different, and I miss the NF800 even more after the trial.
Parameters: 4UG6, with sole, total weight of 93.87g in use condition, balance point 292mm, center shaft length 215mm, hardness on the high side, wind-breaking frame, 78-hole string bed, full string groove, 28lbs warranty, threaded 25-27lbs AB string.
If there is a ball player from NF800, 800LT used to 800P, it is not difficult to find the latter directly changed a set of design language, as if a new series of rackets. Dark green primer, frosted texture, the decal on the frame is not so saturated that it just looks unremarkable. Moreover, the degree of modification is extremely restrained, even can be said to be stingy, into the head and T head sides of the stickers, the overall perception of the cold. Nevertheless, looking at the angular areas of the racket, I was reminded of the delicate, cold and harsh texture of the VT series’ original color second sibling, and that’s not a bad thing.
The frame has been overhauled, the box frame has been changed, and the ultra slim frame allows the stringbed area to be fully secured, as with most racquets, while the frame area can be made more compact. Not only that, one of the double holes at 2 and 10 o’clock in the frame has been adjusted to two single holes, allowing for a small change in the string bed in the sweet spot. And out of sight, the T-head position incorporates copper metal, which is claimed to improve the bounce performance of the racket face. With the above changes then, it stands to reason that this will be more conducive to the deck hitting explosively, when it comes to waiting and seeing.
But before digging into the upper limit of the racquet, the lower limit of the 800P is certainly reassuring, the racquet is not too difficult to drive and is relatively user-friendly. The overall weighting of the racket is more balanced, the lending feeling of the ball on the hand seems to me to be similar to the 1000z, the drive feedback of the center stick is good, the elasticity is especially good, there is no particularly stiff feel, the high long ball back and forth to play a few dozen shots can also be stable and easy, there is virtually no threshold of the first hand ……?
The 800P has a predictable sense of extreme speed, thanks to which I could not avoid hitting the frame when I first started playing, especially when I was in a hurry and needed to make a power shot. It’s simply fast, and although it doesn’t have the same “power” as a racquet like the Sword series, it took me a while to get used to it in situations where I needed to power the ball overhand.
This uncanny quickness was amazing against flat blocks, and can be summarized as fast, consistent, and solid. Fast is needless to say, consistent is more because of the excellent rebound recovery speed of the center stick, the successive swings of the racket seamlessly, but also brings out the advantage of each shot blocking will not be affected by the previous shot, more stable, and the G6 handle and balanced body is in the repeated forehand and backhand switching power to the feeling of the arbitrary. With a short burst of power, where to point and where to draw, the rhythm of confrontation can be described as dizzying.
In my opinion, the small frame of the 800P has a very low cohesive feel, and the trailing speed of the ball drops off a lot after the power is applied, which is more like a normal frame performance, or at least not as pronounced as the 1000z, which does have a larger surface area than the latter. However, the initial speed of the ball is fast, especially in the backcourt of the hanging ball because of the fast speed decay, can play a good effect of disrupting the rhythm of the opponent, at the same time, the surface compared to the NF800 (LT) there is a certain degree of holding, forgiveness is also high enough to get the high point of the slice or sliding a slash of the confidence of the very strong.
The passive 800P also remained smooth. As mentioned above, it is surprisingly forgiving, and it’s easy to spot the ball when receiving a kill shot on defense and use the opponent’s power to get the ball high and in place. If you have ever played doubles with a partner who has a lot of room for improvement, you should have encountered the dilemma of being repeatedly pushed from both sides of the line when standing back and forth due to the forecourt players’ failure to set up the racket for blocking or hesitant rotation, in which case the 800P’s high volatility and elasticity really help a lot, and there is more power to realize the soft blocking of the low backhand or to get rid of the ball with the pick of the high side of the racket.
So why was I clueless about a sharp instrument with such high speed and high elasticity? Because I never got used to the feel of the NF800P’s downward pressure. The fact that the NF800P’s energy relies heavily on elasticity, even though Leung Wai Clang has already used it, left me with a desire for more. Blue Factory’s current speed racket is similarly bouncy and also relies on higher stiffness and a higher balance point for down pressure quality. For the NF800P, I agree with the official review that “the speed of the ball is fast, but the energy applied to the ball is very little, and the speed of the ball after crossing the net faces the dilemma of extremely fast decay”, and among the new NF products, the 1000z is also not an earth-shattering weapon, but from the feedback of the feeling, even the 1000tour can make me more free to put down pressure. I’ve been able to let go of the pressure even more.
All of the NF series have a good downward consistency experience, so instead of putting a lot of effort into increasing the speed consistency advantage to near perfect performance, I would rather put the same effort into the power of each shot, which is a much greater multiplier.

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.
