Transcripts
right the second generation YX n 700 Bon
rackets are here and the new YX n 700
tour game and play rackets are out
alongside the big brother or sister of
course the nanoflare 700 Pro I've
already done an in-depth video about the
nanoflare 700 Pro and why I liked them
so much that I'm going to make the swap
to them for my day-to-day Rockets go
check them out however in this video
we'll be focusing more on the affordable
models the 700 tour game and
play the previous generations of the N
plus 700 didn't have the more affordable
versions such as the tour game and play
rackets so these are new products from
Yonex as usual the tour and game rackets
are made in yonex's Taiwan factories and
the most affordable play rackets are
made in China these more affordable
versions also employ trickle down
materials as well as manufacturing
techniques however one major difference
in these nle tour game and play have is
a different color compared to the Pro
Models there's an additional color
scheme of silver built with a sunrise
feel designed to complement the midnight
purple and sunset Vibe on the other
design the previous generation of n 700
it's also at two colors so it's quite
nice to have another color design for
this generation the 700 Pro is only
available in the purple Sunset though do
you guys have a favorite color scheme
thus far the torn games rackets decals
do match the pros version with that
graduated Shadow which has a bit of
pixelation compared to the smooth
version from the play I personally like
the play's smooth version a bit more
more but the pick ones are not a deal
breaker for me so here's the major
differences on some of the tech that's
in these rackets server filter is the
new material that's used in this Nano 57
Racket and it's present in both the tour
and game models obviously the Pro 2 but
the play doesn't have this also only the
tour racket will have the enhanced Sonic
flare frame technology whereas the game
model has a more basic version of it and
the play is just a regular wide frame
you can see the difference from the
Leading Edge of the racket frames here
the tour having the sharpest Leading
Edge whilst the game is slightly rounder
and the play is the roundest of them all
remember to protect your bman racket
frames from chips and scratches with the
premium racket protection tape from
cw.com shot also check out the limited
edition playerign prints too other frame
features that's trickled down include
the tour endgame rackets having a fully
recessed frame profile whilst the play
only have a half recess frame
additionally the tour model also
inherits both 4u and 5u weight options
from the Pro whereas the game and play
models are only available in foru plenty
of choices here in terms of specs all
tour game and play rackets do have
slightly wider racket frames compared to
the Pro Models but it's only .1 or2 mm
wider not much frame thickness do differ
slightly due to the presence of the
Sonic flare design the tour model have
almost identical frame thickness to the
pro but the game is slightly Slimmer in
comparison the play racket does have a
similar 12.6 mm thickness in the 3:00
region but tape is more aggressively as
soon as the recess section starts on the
racket shaft diameters and length were
almost identical across the board as are
handle length in terms of string in I
strung all of them with my usual setup
of aaby at 27x 29 lb and all of them
held really well all the 4u models were
rated to 28b whil the 5u tour is rated
to 27 lb here are the swing weight
measurements for all the models here
obviously if you're looking for your
next racket or Bon equipment look no
further than Central Sports they have
been the home of binton in the UK for

thank you again to Central Sports so how
do they all play you all know that these
are headlight rackets which are not
designed to be very stiff with the game
and play rackets they're even rated as
high Flex model rackets for the 700 tour
I thought it felt almost identical to
the pro and if I was blindfolded I
probably wouldn't be able to tell
immediately however after a while the
Rex's shaft slightly Hollow feeling was
more apparent on the tour also I
actually thought the tour felt slightly
bit stiffer compared to the pro
essentially one tiny step down in feel
compared to the pro swings fell
incredibly fast and they come off
amazing well on well-timed shots
obviously if your budget works I go for
the pro but if not the tour is a good
good racket to go for when I then moved
to the 700 game it was fairly noticeable
that the head has gone even lighter with
the game it had moved into a territory
where I thought it was too headlight for
me and because of that it's not too
forgiving and anything that is off Sweet
Spot won't go and you won't have the
racket's head weight to help you at all
so if you're under pressure you get
punished straight away however if you're
looking for an incredibly quick
incredibly headlight and flexible racket
the 700 game is the way to go if we then
jump to the 700 play and it also felt
head lighter than the tour as well it
felt fairly basic in terms of feel and
as the most affordable racket of the
bunch this is to be expected the racket
spec set is high flex but it doesn't
Flex in the same way as the game perhaps
it's down to the more basic racket
response from the play which actually
isn't too forgiving this headlight then
there two headlight I think the 700 game
and play are two headlight for my liking
and resulting in them being quite
unforgiving to hit when you're off Balan
or mis timing not the best feeling if
you're having an off day with these two
when I immediately swapped back to the
700 Pro after testing these lot here and
the difference was quite significant you
will actually feel there's quite a lot
of difference in head weight and power
if you're coming from the game or play I
certainly wasn't expecting the Gap to be
so big the 700 Pro just had so much more
power compared to the game and play the
pros certainly have the best feel but
you do get what you pay for all in all
the 700 Pro is excellent in my opinion
but your mileage may vary with these
more affordable options as they're not
as easy to play compared to the pro
version rockets that are very headlight
do demand better technique and timing to
generate good power so there's a
limitation there if you prefer super
fast very headlight rackets certainly
look at the 700 game or play but be
prepared to be frustrated when you're
off balance and Under Pressure closest
to the 700 Pro go for the tour half the
budget I certainly recommend the pro
enjoy your Bing guys and I'll see you in
the next one
