Yonex Nanoflare 700 Tour Badminton Racket Light Beige

The Yonex Nanoflare 700 Tour (2nd Generation) in the Light Beige colorway is a premium, competitive tournament speed racquet.

This specific colorway is a standout piece belonging to Yonex’s limited-run "Shutter Series". Inspired by soft studio lighting and warm sepia tones, the Light Beige variant features a beautiful minimalist matte aesthetic paired with the signature semi-exposed translucent carbon fibers on the frame. Sitting right under the Japanese-made Pro version, the Tour model is manufactured in Taiwan using the exact same head shape and aerodynamic architecture to deliver pro-level handling at a more accessible price point.

Key Technologies & Performance Profile

The 2nd Gen Nanoflare 700 Tour fundamentally improves upon old head-light racquet designs (which historically lacked power) by utilizing a wide-profile, high-repulsion frame built around ultimate joint protection.

1. Aerodynamic Wide Profile Frame (10/10 Speed): The core upgrade of the 700 Tour is its redesigned Wide Profile Frame. By flattening and sharpening the outer frame contours, the racquet drastically cuts down wind resistance. Your hand speed scales effortlessly during tight defensive reflex blocks, mid-court body drives, and net interceptions.
2. The SERVO FILTER Shock Absorption: Integrated precisely between the premium carbon layers of both the head and the shaft, the Servo Filter is a specialized epoxy resin film. It dampens harsh structural impact vibrations six times faster than standalone graphite. This creates an incredibly plush, comfortable hitting sensation that shields your wrist, elbow, and shoulder during grueling multi-hour matches.
3. Enhanced Sonic Flare System: To give you deep baseline power, Yonex strategically layered high-end carbons inside the head. The upper frame incorporates ultra-elastic SUPER HMG for a snappy trampoline return, while the lower throat is constructed from flexible Nanocell NEO. This allows you to launch effortless baseline-to-baseline clears even when caught out of position.
4. REXIS Slim Shaft & Energy Boost Cap Plus: The high-performance Rexis shaft is precision-molded to eliminate side-to-side twisting (torsion) when swinging at maximum velocity. When paired with the Energy Boost Cap Plus at the handle, it ensures the shaft bends perfectly straight forward, keeping your fast cross-court drops and drives pinpoint accurate.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced Intermediate & Competitive Doubles Players: Absolute perfection for players who thrive in high-tempo doubles or mixed doubles environments where defensive reaction speed, flat pushing, and quick recovery are mandatory.
2. Rally Generalists Demanding Easy Depth: Ideal if you love a fast, nimble racquet but don't possess the professional wrist strength required to bend ultra-stiff speed frames (like the 800 Pro or 1000Z). The medium flex works with your natural stroke to generate deep clears.
3. Style-Conscious Competitors: Perfect for players who want a unique, elegant, non-traditional racquet aesthetic on court that sets them apart from typical loud or aggressive neon sports colorways.

Custom Stringing Recommendation: To cater to advanced player preferences, the Nanoflare 700 Tour ships unstrung. To perfectly complement its high-speed repulsion profile, pair it with Yonex Exbolt 63 (for blistering drive speed) or BG66 Ultimax (for high bounce and a beautiful, metallic hitting pop) strung between 24 to 26 lbs.
