Yonex Nanoflare 700 Pro (2024) review
Founder firsthand (Rui, Div 4 IE): like the Arcsaber 7 Pro, hard to generate power but very very fast. Pair with thinner strings to maximize the speed advantage — try Aerobite or BG66 Ultimax over thicker strings.

BadmintonCN: the BadmintonCN reviewer's review (Oct 2024)
4U/G5 sample: 83.6g unstrung, 91.4g w/ grip+string (underbase still on), balance 292mm; 88.7g w/ underbase removed, balance 299mm. 5U/G5: 79.6g unstrung, 84.6g w/ underbase removed, balance 305mm. Reviewer also tested 3 different 4U samples ranging 83.6g-85.8g unstrung — meaningful variance in swing weight. Lighter sample with lower balance still smashed better than heavier NF700, suggesting shaft hardness matters more than gram-level mass for attack quality. 5U good for women / front-court doubles; 4U better for full-court doubles + singles.
