Where to find it
Speed pinnacle: Nanoflare 1000 Z
The top of the Nanoflare pyramid
The NF-1000Z is the absolute top of the Nanoflare lineup — Yonex's most premium speed racquet, associated with An Se-young and designed for elite players at the highest competitive levels. Extra-stiff flex, head-light, Japan-made — a combination that demands fast, technically precise swings and rewards them with the fastest shuttle departure in the Nanoflare range.
NAMD FORCE — the newest evolution
NAMD FORCE is the latest evolution of Yonex's nano-amalgamation material, delivering a sharper shaft flex cycle than standard NAMD for the fastest repulsion the Nanoflare series has ever produced. Volume Cut Resin further reduces excess frame weight, keeping the head-light handling effortlessly fast. Extra-stiff flex means the NF-1000Z is unforgiving on mistimed shots — it rewards elite technique only.
An Se-young's instrument
An Se-young — world number one women's singles and one of the fastest players on tour — plays with this frame. Her explosive net play and rapid transition game are built on the NF-1000Z's instant response characteristics. For speed-oriented players, this is the most aspirational current-production Nanoflare.
