YONEX Nanoray Light 18i: The Ultimate Black Graphite Badminton Racquet Review

Very bad purchase. In the first game the string broke and the racquet was bent. Not sure if it's even real. Stay away from online shopping and visit local badminton clubs for the best purchase.

I love this racket. It's light and the right stiffness in my opinion. I used the interception and I like the balance of the racquet better. I like the racquet's responsiveness when playing close to the net. The color is also very pleasant.

I bought 2 of these and they are fantastic. Very light and strong enough to be used with plastic or feather birds. Highly recommended. I wish it was a little cheaper but that's ok as long as they stay strong for a long time. There were a few tiny nicks and paint chips, one bat, but otherwise everything is fine.

This may be a copy, not a genuine Yonex. The finish of the clutch is poor. Various strange markings on the racquet that I have not seen on any Yonex racquet. The racket is made in China and has Indian stamps on the top of the racket. Not a very comfortable racquet to play with, nor does it look like a real Yonex racquet. Do not buy Revain Yonex racquets, buy lots of them from an authorized retailer.

Racket grip is only 10mm short compared to normal Yonex racquets, Nanoray, Arcsaber, Voltric series etc. This is a cheap poor quality racquet. And it really makes a big difference in the game, trust me. Hitting this racquet feels so weak and odd and you will often hit the top of the racquet due to its short length. I wouldn't recommend this even for beginners as the overall feel of the racquet will not give you any improvement in skill.

This is a decent, really light racquet. These 5u weigh around 75-80lbs and the crazy max tension is 30lbs. I've re-tensioned it on a 26lb BG66 and it's pretty decent, I seriously doubt that higher tension would give this racquet any benefit. Here is my review of this racquet after using it for a month: # Strengths: - Super light (lightest in my 5 racquet pack) and a really good defensive racquet - Ultra light racquet allows you to hit consistent power shots - Decent control - fast shipping (got
