- Editor note
- Legacy Yonex small-frame speed-attack racket (NR-ZSP / NRZS). Out of production; used-market only. Per Yonex official: 3U/86g average, balance ~290mm ±3mm, max tension 27 lbs, H.M. Graphite + Sonic Metal + EX-HMG + Nanometric + X-Fullerene. Notable for setting the men's fastest-hit Guinness record at 493 km/h on 28 July 2013 (player: Tan Boon Heong / Malaysia; transliterated 陳文宏 in Chinese pinyin — same player, different spelling system). Held the record until 2025 when Satwiksairaj Rankireddy clocked 565 km/h with the Nanoflare 1000 Z. Buyer caution: newer reissues reportedly feel softer in the shaft than 2013 originals; check provenance.
