Where to find it
Speed-era icon: Nanoray 750
The standout mid-series Nanoray
The NR-750 is one of the standout Nanoray models from Yonex's performance range — Japan-made, NANOMETRIC in both frame and shaft, stiff-flex, and combining head-light balance with a crisp-yet-springy response uncommon for a head-light racquet. At launch it punched well above its tier; in the secondary market it has become a sought-after vintage speed piece.
Full NANOMETRIC in a head-light frame
NANOMETRIC throughout delivers a stiff-yet-springy response — fast swing speed on drives and lifts, with enough frame snap to produce aggressive clears from the back. The combination of head-light balance, full NANOMETRIC construction, and Japan-made quality in this price tier was uncommon at the time and is a primary reason for its enduring reputation.
Secondary market position
Clean NR-750 examples are increasingly hard to find in unstrung Japan-made condition. The $150–$200 range has stabilised as the consensus price for mint examples, reflecting steady demand from players who remember it fondly and collectors building comprehensive Nanoray histories. Unlike lower-rarity Nanoray models, the NR-750 genuinely rewards patience in sourcing.
