Where to find it
Ultra-light speed: Nanoflare 170 Light
The lightest Nanoflare
The NF-170LT (Light) is one of the lightest racquets in Yonex's current lineup, pushing shuttle speed to the extreme through reduced weight. China-manufactured, 5U, medium-flex — it targets players whose game is built entirely around rapid reactions and explosive net interceptions where frame weight is the primary variable.
5U handling character
At 5U the NF-170LT swings faster than almost any other racquet in the market. The medium-flex shaft and head-light balance make it effortless to accelerate through net kills and tight backhand returns. Advanced players may find it lacks the mass for effective rear-court clears — but for net-rush players, that trade-off is exactly right.
Who it's for
Fast-handed players who prioritise racquet speed above all else, seniors who benefit from reduced swing weight, and youth players developing net-play fundamentals. The most accessible entry into the Nanoflare series.
