Nanoflare 800 Tour: the stiff, Taiwan-made export tier under the Deep Green 800 Pro
The second tier of the 2023 Nanoflare 800
Yonex announced the second-generation Nanoflare 800 from Tokyo on October 15, 2023, for a worldwide launch on November 17 in four models, Pro, Tour, Game and Play, “each developed with the same performance concept but featuring variations in the materials used and technologies equipped.” The Tour is the second rung. Yonex’s release pairs it with the Pro “for more advanced players,” and Yonex USA lists its player type as intermediate to advanced. It keeps the Pro’s stiff flex, its 3U and 4U weights and its Deep Green paint, but it is made in Taiwan rather than Japan and is sold only outside Japan.
What the Tour keeps from the Pro
The release gives the Pro and Tour the same three upgrades: the Wide Profile Frame, a new stringing pattern that adds one cross string, and the Enhanced Sonic Flare System, which uses a steep angle from the stringing area to the T-joint and copper at the bottom of the frame for rigidity. What the Tour gives up is the Pro’s premium material. Yonex reserves M40X graphite at the frame’s base for the Pro, and its 2024 USA catalog also lists Solid Feel Core and Ultra PE Fiber for the Pro alone. Yonex’s global page lists the Tour’s frame as graphite, Nanocell NEO, HM graphite and copper, and its shaft as HM graphite with Super HMG; the catalog adds the REXIS shaft and Energy Boost Cap Plus. Both models are 10 mm longer than standard and rated stiff.
No named player
No professional player is documented using the Nanoflare 800 Tour. Yonex’s launch release named Soh Wooi Yik and Chiharu Shida as players of the new 800 without naming a tier; the player record for the line belongs to the 800 Pro, which has its own page.
Four tiers in one green
All four 2023 models share one color, Deep Green, with what Yonex calls semi-exposed stripes of carbon graphite that look different from different angles. The tiers are told apart by specification. The Pro (NF-800P) is the Japan-made top model. The Tour (NF-800T) matches its stiff flex and weights. The Game (NF-800G) keeps the copper frame and the new string pattern but is medium flex, 4U only, with a plain graphite shaft. The Play (NF-800PL) is a plain-graphite beginner model. No other color or edition of the Tour is documented. The Matte Black Nanoflare 800 of 2019 and its 5U 800 LT are the previous generation, and Yonex’s release says the new line keeps their “Drive” concept.
An export model, still in the catalog
The Tour is in production. Yonex’s global store was listing it in stock by late November 2023 and still listed it “In stock” in October 2026, beside the other three tiers. Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog lists it, and Yonex USA sells it unstrung. Yonex Japan does not: its 2024, 2025 and 2026 catalogs carry only the 800 Pro and Game, and Yonex Japan’s own announcement of the line covered only those two models. No launch price is documented for the Tour. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Copies and tier mix-ups
No counterfeit specific to the Nanoflare 800 Tour is documented. The likelier problem is a listing that names the wrong tier, since all four share the name and the Deep Green finish. A loose title such as “Nanoflare 800 Deep Green” can mean any of them; the error that matters most is a Tour listed as a Pro. Yonex USA’s own spec field rates the Tour’s shaft medium, against “Stiff” in Yonex’s catalog and on its global page, so a medium rating in a listing does not by itself rule out a Tour.
An advanced player’s alternative to the Pro
The Tour gives an advanced player the Pro’s flex, weights, copper frame and string pattern in a Taiwan-made frame without M40X, Solid Feel Core or Ultra PE Fiber. Yonex sells the same tier ladder in the Nanoflare 1000 and the 2024 Nanoflare 700, each in its own color. For a collector the Tour is a current export model with no documented player or special edition; a documented end of production would be the first thing to date it.
Check the item code NF-800T (Yonex USA writes NF800T). Yonex offers the Tour in 4U (average 83 g, grip 5 or 6) and 3U (average 88 g, grip 4, 5 or 6), rates it stiff, and lists it 10 mm longer than standard; Yonex recommends 20–28 lb for 4U and 21–29 lb for 3U. The only color is Deep Green, shared with the Pro, Game and Play. Yonex Far East lists the Tour as made in Taiwan; the Pro is the Japan-made model, so a Japan origin points to a Pro. A 3U label rules out the Game and Play, which are 4U only.
A current model, so most buyers will take a new one and choose the grip size. For a used frame, ask for photographs of the model name, the NF-800T code, the weight label and the made-in marking, and check the frame and T-joint for cracks or repainting. Treat a listing that calls it a Pro, or quotes M40X, with care: those belong to the Japan-made NF-800P.
