Nanoray 9000LD: the flexible, China-made Nanoray of Lin Dan Exclusive II
A Nanoray under Lin Dan’s name
The Nanoray 9000LD is one of two Nanoray racquets in Lin Dan Exclusive II, the second limited collection Yonex built around him in 2015; the other three racquets are Voltrics. Yonex lists it as item NR9000LD: flexible, with a graphite frame, a shaft of graphite, NANOMESH and carbon nanotube, 4U (average 83 g) in grip 4, made in China, in navy blue and white. Its product page has no model description, only Yonex’s general Nanoray series text, and Yonex documents no standard Nanoray 9000. Almost everything known about the 9000LD comes from that one spec block on Yonex’s international site.
Exclusive II and the 9000LD’s listing
Yonex announced Lin Dan Exclusive II on October 15, 2015, after his first Yonex Open Japan title in nine years, won after he rejoined Yonex, and said the limited gear would be on sale worldwide in late November. The announcement named only a custom Voltric Z-Force II. The Exclusive II category on Yonex’s international site went further: its first archived capture, on October 21, 2015, already lists five racquets among 29 products, the Z-Force II LD, the Voltric 7LD and 1LD, and the Nanoray 9000LD and 7000LD. The 9000LD’s own page is archived from April to November 2016 with the same specifications throughout. Yonex Japan’s Lin Dan page lists only the Z-Force II LD among racquets.
Named for him, not shown in his hands
Yonex ties the 9000LD to Lin Dan only through its name and the Exclusive II collection. No Yonex report or equipment list shows him, or any other player, using it. His documented racquets in 2015 and 2016 were Voltric Z-Force II models, among them the Exclusive II Z-Force II LD, which Yonex’s report linked to his sixth All England title in March 2016 and which has its own pages. Listings that present the 9000LD as a racquet he played have no support in any Yonex source.
Two colors, one Nanoray sibling
Yonex lists two colors for the 9000LD, navy blue and white, under the single item code NR9000LD; no other finish is documented. The collection’s other Nanoray, the 7000LD, is a different racquet: an aluminum frame, medium flex, 2U, in white and bright red. Among the Exclusive II Voltrics, the Voltric 7LD shares the 9000LD’s 4U (average 83 g) class, the Voltric 1LD its flexible rating and Chinese factory, and the Z-Force II LD is the Japan-made flagship. The 9000LD is not a Nanoray 900 in new colors: Yonex lists the 900 as stiff, 2U or 3U and made in Japan.
Listed into 2017
The Exclusive II category still listed the 9000LD, with the other four racquets, on January 13, 2017. By May 12, 2017 it held only three string products. Yonex published no production end and no quantity beyond calling the collection limited, so 2017 is the last year the 9000LD is documented on sale new. Yonex’s pages give no price for it. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Mix-ups more than fakes
No counterfeit of the 9000LD is documented. The practical risk is identity: resale titles such as “Nanoray 9000 LD” and “Nanoray 9000 Lin Dan” are used loosely, and the Lin Dan name is shared with his Voltrics. Because Yonex’s page gives no model description, copied product text identifies nothing. The item code, the weight label, the flex rating and the factory mark carry the identification, and the checklist below sets them out.
After Exclusive II
Nothing on Yonex’s pages carries the 9000LD forward. Yonex’s next Lin Dan racquets were Voltrics: by November 2016 its Voltric list showed the Voltric LD Force and the LD3, LD9, LD100 and LD200. The 9000LD and 7000LD are the only Nanorays in Yonex’s 2015 Lin Dan collections; the first collection, in May 2015, had three Voltric racquets. For a collector the 9000LD is a documented Exclusive II piece on a light, flexible frame, not a racquet Lin Dan is known to have played.
Check the item code NR9000LD, the 4U weight label (average 83 g) with grip 4, the flexible rating and the Made in China mark. Yonex lists the colors as navy blue and white and the shaft as graphite, NANOMESH and carbon nanotube. A 2U, aluminum-framed LD Nanoray in white and bright red is the Nanoray 7000LD. A 3U, China-made Lin Dan frame is the Voltric 1LD, a 4U, Taiwan-made one in navy blue or bright red the Voltric 7LD, and a Japan-made one a Z-Force II LD. A Japan-made, stiff Nanoray 900 is a different frame. Yonex recommends 19–24 lb. Yonex’s general counterfeit guidance centers on its hologram sticker.
Treat the 9000LD as an Exclusive II collection piece on a flexible 4U frame, not as Lin Dan’s racquet. Confirm the NR9000LD code, the 4U label and the Made in China mark in photographs, since loose titles mix the Lin Dan Nanorays and Voltrics. With no Yonex-documented standard Nanoray 9000 to compare against, Yonex’s spec block is the only reference. Ask for daylight photographs of the frame, the cone and the weight label, and look for cracks and repainting.
