The Nanoflare 1000 Game brings the look and head-light speed concept of YONEX's top Nanoflare 1000 to a more approachable build. A medium flex shaft makes it easier to generate depth than the stiff 1000 Tour or 1000 Z, so it suits intermediate players who like quick, fast-paced rallies, especially in doubles. Colour: Lightning Yellow.
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.
-
Head-light Nanoflare design: weight sits towards the handle, so the racket feels quick in the hand for fast exchanges and defence.
-
Medium flex shaft: a middle-ground shaft that balances easy power with control.
-
Built-in T-Joint: the shaft and frame are joined as one piece, which keeps the head steadier on off-centre hits.
-
10 mm longer frame: a little extra length gives more reach and leverage on overhead shots.

Questions & answers
Is it better for attack, control or all-round play?
It is a speed racket: the head-light balance helps with fast drives, net play and defence, while the medium flex shaft still gives decent depth on clears. YONEX aims it at intermediate players.
What weight and grip is it?
This is 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 the 4U version. Please do not string above the maximum of the recommended range.
Does it come strung? Can you string it for me?
You can choose frame only or strung in the options. 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 1000 Tour, 1000 Z and 1000 Play?
Within the Nanoflare 1000 range, the 1000 Z and 1000 Tour have an extra stiff HM Graphite shaft and premium frame materials (the Z adds NANOMETRIC DR and M40X; the Tour uses Nanocell NEO and EX-HYPER MG). The 1000 Game has a medium flex graphite shaft with a built-in T-Joint, and the 1000 Play has a medium flex all-graphite build for recreational play.
