Our Verdict
The Nanoflare 700 Pro is the most popular racket among women’s doubles players on the BWF World Tour, a head-light, medium-flex frame built for players who win rallies with speed, quick reflexes, and precise flat drives rather than raw smash power. The Enhanced Sonic Flare System boosts repulsion without adding swing weight, and the Servo Filter softens shaft feel just enough to make reads and blocks feel more controlled.
That head-light balance means it gives up outright back-court power to head-heavy attacking rackets, and advanced players with strong swings may find the medium flex a touch soft. It’s built with doubles in mind first, so it’s less of a natural fit for players who live in the back court in singles.
- Speed & Reflexes: The head-light balance and slimmer frame profile make it exceptionally quick to swing, ideal for the rapid-fire exchanges of doubles drives.
- Feel & Control: The Servo Filter softens shaft feedback just enough to make blocks and net reads feel more deliberate without sacrificing responsiveness.
- Comfort: The medium flex is forgiving across a wide range of swing speeds, making it comfortable to play with on both sharp and off days.
It’s a genuinely user-friendly speed racket, which is a big part of why it’s become a popular pick across the doubles game, it’s also used by Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae, the pair that reached world No. 1 in men’s doubles.

Is This a Singles or Doubles Racket?
Yonex Nanoflare 700 Pro is the most popular racket in women’s doubles, built for speed and quick reflex exchanges.
It can still work well for men’s doubles players who prioritize quickness and placement over raw power, though it gives up some of the smash power that back-court exchanges often demand.
