The Nanoflare 800 Tour sits just below the 800 Pro, with a stiff shaft and a head-light frame for fast, accurate shot-making. It suits intermediate to advanced players who swing quickly and want a responsive racket for flat drives and sharp net play. Colour: Deep Green.
Key features
-
Sonic Flare System: high-modulus graphite is placed at the top and bottom of the frame so the head snaps back quickly, adding speed to clears and drives.
-
Stiff shaft: rewards a fast, compact swing with direct, precise shots.
-
Nanocell NEO in the frame layup: helps the string bed return energy quickly for a crisp, responsive feel.
-
SUPER HMG graphite: a stiffer grade of high-modulus graphite that keeps the frame light while adding firmness.
-
Built-in T-Joint: the shaft and frame are joined as one piece, which keeps the head steadier on off-centre hits.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
Intermediate to advanced players with a quick swing. The stiff shaft rewards good technique, and the head-light balance helps in fast rallies.
What weight and grip is it?
4U G6. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g (YONEX average 83 g). G6 is slimmer than G5.
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX recommends 20–28 lbs for 4U, with EXBOLT 63 suggested for control players and EXBOLT 65 for hard hitters. Please do not string above the maximum of the recommended range.
Does it come strung? Can you string it for me?
It is sold as a frame only (unstrung). Yes. On this page choose "Add professional stringing", then pick your string and tension. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included (for example YONEX BG65 $27, BG65Ti $29, BG80/Exbolt/Nanogy $30, Aerobite $32). Regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days.
How is it different from the 800 Pro and Game?
The 800 Pro and 800 Tour both have a stiff shaft; the Pro adds M40X, SUPER HMG and ULTRA PE FIBER with a new built-in T-Joint, while the Tour uses Nanocell NEO with an HM Graphite/SUPER HMG shaft. The 800 Game has a medium flex graphite shaft and a built-in T-Joint, and the 800 Play is a medium flex all-graphite model for recreational players.
