Nanoray 90DX: the thick-framed 2014 Nanoray that left Yonex’s list within a year
Less than a year on Yonex’s list
The Nanoray 90DX (item NR90DX) was a stiff, 4U, Taiwan-made Nanoray of 2014, sold beside the Nanoray 70DX on Yonex’s international site. Yonex pitched it in one sentence: “An extraordinary thick frame and POWER BOOST CAP enables to hit faster shot and this racquet is suited for hard hitting players with high tension stringing.” It joined Yonex’s international Nanoray list in spring 2014, just above the 70DX, and was gone by mid-February 2015, while the 70DX stayed until 2019.
A thick frame and a Power Boost Cap
Yonex published no launch release. A US shop listed it as new for 2014 in February 2014, and it joined Yonex’s international Nanoray list between February 20 and April 9, 2014, so 2014 is its first documented year. Yonex’s page gives stiff flex, a high-modulus graphite frame, a high-modulus graphite shaft with Nanomesh and carbon nanotube, 4U (80–84.9 g, later given as an average of 83 g) with grips 4 and 5, and Taiwan as the factory. Its technology list names Nanomesh + Carbon Nanotube, Isometric, a new single-pass grommet pattern, the Built-in T-Joint and the Power Boost Cap. The page calls Nanoray “the latest head-light series from YONEX,” but no Yonex balance gauge for the 90DX itself is known.
No player on record
Yonex names no player on the 90DX, and no player edition of it is documented. Its one line of Yonex copy aimed it at hard hitters who string at high tension. Its page listed the Nanoray 300, 70DX and 60 as related products.
One White/Silver design and the other DX models
Yonex’s page gives one design, White/Silver, under item NR90DX, and one weight class, 4U. Its companion, the Nanoray 70DX (NR70DX, 2014–2019), shares the stiff flex, the 4U class and the Taiwan factory, but Yonex described the 70DX by its low-set grommets rather than a thick frame, and its 2015 technology list names a Control Support Cap. Yonex’s 2016 and 2017 listings also give the 70DX in White/Silver. The 3U Nanoray 95DX, added in 2016, later became the upper DX model. Each has its own page.
Spring 2014 to January 2015
The 90DX was a regular-production racquet for Yonex’s international range. In the order of Yonex’s international Nanoray list, the 90DX and 70DX of April 2014 stood where the Nanoray 100 and 80 had been in February. A US shop called the 90DX the replacement for the Nanoray 80; Yonex never said so. The list still showed it on January 5, 2015; by February 15 it was gone. Yonex published no production end, so 2015 is the last year it is documented on sale new. Yonex Japan’s racquet list of September 2014 did not include it, Yonex UK’s 2015 brochure does not list it, and Yonex printed no launch price for it in dollars or yen. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Telling it from the 70DX
No counterfeit of the Nanoray 90DX is documented. The practical risk is identity, since the 70DX shares its flex, weight class and factory and, in later years, its White/Silver color. The model name and item code decide: NR90DX for this racquet, NR70DX for the 70DX. A 3U frame that reads 95DX is the 95DX. Shop copy of 2014 also described a White/Orange 90DX; Yonex’s own page gives only White/Silver.
The briefest of the DX models
The 90DX had the shortest run of the three standard DX Nanorays on Yonex’s international list: under a year, against almost five for the 70DX and three for the 95DX. For a collector it is a thinly documented export model, with one Yonex color, one weight class, no player and a product page that described it in a single sentence.
Check the item code NR90DX and the model name on the frame. Yonex lists stiff flex, 4U only (80–84.9 g, average 83 g), grips 4 and 5, a high-modulus graphite frame, a high-modulus graphite shaft with Nanomesh and carbon nanotube, a Power Boost Cap, White/Silver, and Taiwan as the factory. A frame coded NR70DX is the 70DX, even in White/Silver; a 3U frame that reads 95DX is the 95DX. Yonex’s general counterfeit guide says the production code on the cap above the handle is laser-engraved rather than printed and the hologram sticker resists peeling.
Start with the name and code: NR90DX in White/Silver is this racquet, while a White/Silver frame that reads 70DX is its longer-lived companion. Yonex aimed the 90DX at high-tension stringing, so check the head, the frame sides and the T-joint for cracks and look at the grommets. Yonex documents no player, edition or second color for it, so treat tour connections or rare-color claims as unproven without a Yonex source.
