Even before the worldwide start of sales on June 16, 2023, we received the new high-end racket from the BADLAB "racket team": YONEX NANOFLARE 1000 Z for practical testing. We were very curious to see to what extent the announcements from "Fastest Smash ever", "Rapid Fire" to "Flagship of the NANOFLARE Series" will be confirmed in the racket test. As always, we not only got involved in a few hits with the racquets, but also put them through their paces over several weeks.
