Yonex Nanoflare 700 Tour Badminton Racket MidNight Purple

The Yonex Nanoflare 700 Tour in Midnight Purple is the high-performance intermediate-to-advanced model within the Nanoflare 700 lineup. Designed to closely mirror the playability and technologies of the flagship Japan-made 700 Pro, the "Tour" version is manufactured in Taiwan using premium carbon materials, offering near-elite speed, clearance power, and smooth handling at a more accessible price point.

Performance Profile

The Nanoflare 700 Tour focuses on effortless shuttle flight, rapid swing speed, and high vibration dampening.

1. Effortless Clearance Power: Like the Pro version, it features a Medium flex shaft combined with the Enhanced Sonic Flare System (strategic placement of high-modulus graphite like M40X). This combination optimizes snap-back upon impact, allowing players to clear baseline-to-baseline with smooth, low-effort mechanics.
2. Plush Impact Feel & Vibration Control: Embedded with Yonex's Servo Filter—a specialized resin film layered into the graphite—and Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft. This absorbs unwanted vibrations six times faster than standard graphite, providing a comfortable, controlled feel on drop shots and defensive blocks.
3. Speed & Aerodynamics: Built with a Wide Profile Aero Frame and a head-light balance, it slices through the air cleanly for quick wrist snap drives, rapid net interceptions, and fast defensive resets.

Best Suited For

1. Intermediate to Advanced Players: Ideal for competitive club and tournament players seeking advanced Japanese technology at a lower price point than the Pro model.
2. Tactical & All-Around Players: Great for players who like setting up points with precise clears, accurate drop shots, and controlled pushes to manipulate the opponent's position.
3. Defensive & Fast-Paced Doubles Players: Excellent for players who need rapid maneuvering at the net, quick drive exchanges, and fast reactions against incoming smashes.
4. Arm-Safety Seekers: The combination of medium flex and Servo Filter technology makes it ideal for players who want a premium racket that avoids physical strain on the elbow or shoulder.
