The Hundred Nitrix Thunder is Hundred's speed-attack racket for players who score through tempo. The 5U weight combined with head-heavy balance creates a rare mix: light in the hand for fast preparation, head-heavy in the swing for smash power. Built for doubles players with a smash-and-follow style and for aggressive front-court action.
Playing characteristics: fast power doubles racket
The 5U construction (approx. 78 g) enables significantly faster shot preparation than 4U rackets – crucial in fast doubles exchanges and front-court duels. The head-heavy balance compensates for the light weight and ensures that your smash doesn't feel "light" despite the speed bias.
The medium-flexible shaft (7.0 mm) loads quickly and gives the Thunder its characteristic whip effect. Easier to play than a stiff pro racket, but with genuine attacking potential.
Technology in detail
Superlight Carbon Fibre: High-strength, lightweight carbon with reduced mass density – enables the low frame weight without sacrificing stability.
Graphite Lab Build: Hundred's layered construction for a stable attacking feel in the 5U frame.
Torsion Stop System: Reinforcement against frame torsion on off-centre hits – unique in the Nitrix line for greater smash precision.
Curve² Frame Geometry: Optimised grommet pattern on a curved frame profile – enlarges the effective sweet spot.
T-Fuse Joint: Reinforced shaft-to-T-piece connection – ensures frame stability on hard smashes.
Who is the Nitrix Thunder made for?
Clearly suited for: club players and recreational tournament players who want to push their attacks via smash-and-follow in doubles. Also for aspiring singles players looking for a lighter power racket to start playing offensively.
Less suited for: pure defensive specialists or players who prefer a balanced all-rounder without a power bias. If precision and placement matter more than tempo, the Hundred Hyfonic Lazer is the better choice.
Stringing & delivery condition
The Hundred Nitrix Thunder is delivered with a Hundred factory stringing and ready to play. For more smash bite, we recommend restringing at 26–28 lbs with a power string like Hundred JP65 Magnite or BG66 Ultimax.
