"NANOSPEED is our most ‘head-light’ series, designed for players with a naturally quick swing and a sharp, attacking playing style. It is the ideal racquet for players seeking faster movement and greater maneuverability on the court. YONEX has created an ultra-lightweight racquet that is thinner, stronger and more stable than an ordinary racquet for maximum power and swing speed energy. X-FULLERENE frame for sharp repulsion and FULLERENE shaft for speedy racquet handling. Frame: H.M. Graphite, X-FULLERENE. Shaft: H.M. Graphite, FULLERENE The new generation X-Fullerene has 4 radial ribs which unite carbon atoms to form a football-like structure. The X-Fullerene is used in the resin which bonds the carbon fibres and creates the cross-link construction. The tenfold increase in binding force makes it possible to create 5% higher repulsion power and 15% greater stability." [includes a schematic figure with fullerene particles]
