Yonex Nanoray 72 Light

The Nanoray 72 Light is one of the better-built racquets in Yonex's older Nanoray line - full graphite, where several of its Nanoray "I" series stablemates use aluminium, and rated to a genuinely useful 30 lbs.

Balance is head light at 5U, so the racquet stays quick through drives, net play and defensive blocks - the classic Nanoray brief, before Nanoflare took over as Yonex's speed line. The flexible shaft still helps with power on clears and smashes, so you're not giving up output for that handling speed.

Good for beginners and improving doubles players who value quick hands over raw smash power. If you want the modern equivalent of this exact profile, the Nanoflare 700 Play carries the same head-light, flexible-shaft idea with newer frame technology.
