Nanoflare 70: Yonex Japan’s Coral Pink intermediate, one zero short of the Nanoflare 700
One zero short of the 700
The Nanoflare 70 (item code NF-70) is a Japan-made Nanoflare that Yonex Japan put on sale in late November 2021 at ¥24,200 including tax, in a single color, Coral Pink. Its name is one digit away from the Nanoflare 700 of 2019, and the two share a Japanese origin and the series’ head-light design, but the 70 is a separate frame with its own item code: 4U only, with VDM added to the frame. Yonex Japan describes it as a racquet built for comfortable clear flight and maneuverability, “with a wide sweet area and a vivid color design.” It is still current in Japan and on Yonex’s global site.
Super HMG, M40X and VDM in a 4U frame
Yonex Japan lists the frame as high-elastic carbon with Toray’s M40X, Super HMG and VDM, and the shaft as high-strength carbon, joined by a new built-in T-joint; Yonex’s English spec pages print the frame as HM Graphite, M40X, Super HMG and VDM and the shaft as HM Graphite. The launch page credits the series’ Sonic Flare System, M40X and the Isometric head, with the Aero+Box frame shape, Solid Feel Core, a Super Slim Shaft and the Energy Boost Cap. Yonex sells it in 4U only (average 83 g) with grips 5 and 6, 10 mm longer than standard, and recommends 18–26 lb. Its English spec pages rate the flex Hi-Flex. No Yonex page prints a balance word for it; the balance gauge in Yonex Japan’s 2024–2026 catalogs places it well to the head-light side.
Rated for intermediates, no named player
No Yonex source names a player using the Nanoflare 70. Yonex Japan’s level chart gives it the top mark (◎) for intermediate men and women and a second mark (○) for advanced players, and leaves the beginner column empty. Its product pages, Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog and Yonex Japan’s 2026 catalog cite no professional user.
Coral Pink, and the Nanoflares around it
Yonex has listed the 70 in one color, Coral Pink (color code 299 in the 2026 Japanese catalog), from its launch page to Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog and Yonex’s global site, with no limited edition. It is not a version of the Nanoflare 700: Yonex Japan sold the 700 in 4U and 5U, with a high-elastic carbon shaft and no VDM in the frame. In Yonex Japan’s 2026 line the 70 sits beside the Taiwan-made Nanoflare Nextage, also aimed at intermediates, and above the Japan-made 400 and 300 and the Taiwan-made 111, and it carries the highest list price of the five. The 2024 Nanoflare 700 Pro, Tour, Game and Play are a separate line; each of these models has its own page.
Five years on Yonex’s lists
The 70 is in production. Yonex Japan still carries it: its 2026 catalog prints ¥28,050 including tax, and its launch page marked it as passing the Japan Badminton Association’s equipment test, so it can be used in sanctioned play in Japan. Outside Japan, Yonex’s global site listed it in stock by May 2023 and still did in October 2026, and Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog included it on its Nanoflare page, though Yonex USA’s online store has no page for it. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Mix-ups, not fakes
No counterfeit of the Nanoflare 70 is documented. The likelier confusion is by name. The Nanoflare 700 and its 2024 Pro, Tour, Game and Play tiers differ from it by one zero, and the Astrox 70, another Japan-made 4U of late 2021, shares its number in a different series. The NF-70 code, the Coral Pink finish and the 4U-only weight class identify it; the callout lists the details.
The intermediate that stayed
The Nanoflare 70 is a current, mass-produced racquet with no documented player, edition or production end. Its interest is its run: of the Nanoflares on Yonex Japan’s list when it arrived (the 800 LT, 800, 700, 600, 400, 200 and the junior racquet), only the 400 and the junior model are still in production beside it, and Yonex has kept it in the same Coral Pink throughout.
Yonex’s item code is NF-70. Check for the Coral Pink finish, the only color Yonex lists; a 4U label (average 83 g) with grip 5 or 6; and a frame 10 mm longer than standard. Yonex gives Japan as the country of origin. Yonex lists high-elastic carbon, M40X, Super HMG and VDM in the frame and a new built-in T-joint, and at launch Yonex Japan sold a dedicated grommet set for it, AC416AXB. A frame coded NF-700 or 2NF-700, or any 5U frame, is the Nanoflare 700 or one of its 2024 tiers, and one coded AX70 is the Astrox 70.
This is a current racquet, sold new in Japan and listed in stock on Yonex’s global site. Yonex recommends 18–26 lb and suggests Nanogy 95 for hard hitters and Skyarc for control players. For a used frame, confirm the NF-70 code, the Japan origin, the 4U label and the Coral Pink finish, and ask for daylight photographs of the shaft markings and the head. Its interest is as a long-running Japan-made intermediate Nanoflare, not any professional record.
