The Nanoflare 1000 Z is the top model in YONEX's Nanoflare speed range. It pairs an extra stiff shaft with a head-light frame built from YONEX's premium materials, giving very fast handling and sharp, flat shots. It is aimed at advanced and competitive players, particularly 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.
-
NANOMETRIC DR: a YONEX composite in the frame aimed at stability and repulsion.
-
M40X carbon fibre: a strong, high-modulus fibre used to keep the frame stable and responsive.
-
EX-HYPER MG graphite: a very high-modulus material that makes the frame stiff and light for fast, sharp shots.
-
ULTRA PE FIBER in the shaft: helps soak up shock so the racket feels more controlled at impact.

Questions & answers
Is it better for attack, control or all-round play?
It is built for speed: fast drives, flat exchanges and quick counter-attacks. The extra stiff shaft suits advanced players with strong technique.
What weight and grip is it?
Choose 4U G6 or 3U G5. 4U = 80–84 g and 3U = 85–89 g unstrung (YONEX averages 83 g and 88 g). G6 is slimmer than G5.
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX recommends 20–28 lbs for 4U and 21–29 lbs for 3U. Please do not string above the maximum of the recommended range.
Does it come strung? Can you string it for me?
If you want to confirm whether it is supplied strung, contact us before ordering. 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?
Both are extra stiff. The 1000 Z frame uses NANOMETRIC DR, M40X and EX-HYPER MG with ULTRA PE FIBER in the shaft and a new built-in T-Joint; the 1000 Tour frame uses Nanocell NEO and EX-HYPER MG with an HM Graphite shaft.
