Description
The NANOFLARE 001 FEEL is a lightweight, head-light graphite racket with a flexible shaft, designed to be easy to swing and quick to react. It suits beginners and developing players, particularly in doubles, who want fast hands at the net and in defence.
Key features
- 5U weight (about 78 g) – light for fast racket preparation.
- Hi-Flex graphite shaft – easy to bend, helping players with a gentler swing get good depth.
- Control Support Cap – a wider, flatter grip end for better control of the racket face.
- Isometric head and a shaft 10 mm longer than standard – a larger sweet spot and extra reach.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
Beginners and developing players who want a light, quick racket for doubles and all-round social play.
What weight and grip is it?
5U with a G5 grip, about 78 g. 5U means an unstrung frame weight of 75–79 g; G5 is a thinner grip than G4.
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX advises 20–27 lbs. Please do not exceed 27 lbs.
How is it different from the NANOFLARE 001 ABILITY?
On YONEX's spec sheets both have the same Hi-Flex graphite frame and shaft, 5U weight and 20–27 lbs range; the difference is the colourway and naming.
