A control player with good downward smashes used a 3U Nanoflare 1000Z for three years and loved it until it broke. Found the Nanoflare 800 Pro's shaft too soft by comparison.
“After 3 years I broke my 3u 1000z. I want an equally stiff racket and am brand agnostic. I loved my 1000z but am looking for something a little cheaper.”
Used the Nanoflare 1000Z for a year and was happy with it until it broke. Before that they broke four Victor rackets (Thruster and Auraspeed 100X Ultra) in six months.
“I have been using 1000z for a year and was quite happy with it but it broke and before that I have broken 4 Victor (Thruster and 100xu ) in 6 months so I am not going to Victor again.”
Broke their Nanoflare 1000Z on a clean hit and thinks an earlier clash had created a weak point. Treats rackets as long-lasting consumables rather than something that lasts forever.
“Racquets inherently will have weaknesses and small cracks can develop over time from clashes etc. I broke my 1000z from a clean hit before, most likely a previous clash creates a stress point.”
A beginner playing the Nanoflare 1000Z strung at 24 lbs finds it very unforgiving on mishits and says the sweet spot is hard to find.
“I'm a beginner who uses the Nanoflare 1000Z and it's incredibly unforgiving on mishits and feels hard to hit the sweet-spot. The tension is 24lbs.”
