Included in the set
-
Yonex Nanoflare Ability Black/Red – ultra-lightweight racket (78 g) with a head-light balance for maximum maneuverability and control.
The Sonic Flare System ensures fast, precise shots – perfect for defensively oriented players with strong reactions and good vision.Why a lightweight racket is ideal for defense:
With lighter-headed rackets, the center of gravity is closer to the handle , making them significantly grippier and more maneuverable .
This makes you faster in the flat game , allows you to better control drives and defensive shots, and enables you to react lightning-fast to opponent attacks.
The disadvantage: slightly less power in the smash , as less weight in the head area provides momentum – but for defensive players the advantages outweigh the disadvantages: more control, responsiveness and precision. -
Oliver Apex Hybrid / 77 balls (12 pieces) – durable hybrid balls made of natural feathers and plastic.
A cost-effective alternative to pure natural feather shuttlecocks – we guarantee an excellent playing feel and have tested them ourselves. -
Yonex Super Grap 3-pack (Red) – ultra-thin, non-slip overgrip for precise feel and optimal grip.
Why red? It perfectly matches the racket design and offers good visibility if a change is needed.
A thin grip tape makes particular sense at the beginning , as you can feel the edges of the racket better – this makes it easier to hold the racket correctly and to learn the grip technique properly. -
Yonex Pro racket bag (red) – practical double bag with two large main compartments for rackets, clothing and accessories.
Additionally, it features a small extra compartment for a wallet or keys, as well as a separate shoe compartment for clean separation of equipment and sports shoes.
Carrying straps allow for comfortable shouldering – ideal for training and tournaments.
