Nitrix – the power line

Nitrix is Hundred's smash series. It's about pressure from the backcourt. The models range from the affordable all-round entry up to the pro tool.

For the entry, the Nitrix 10 (4U) is the right pick: even balance, versatile, forgives mistakes. If you want light and fast, reach for the Nitrix Thunder (5U) at around 78 g with head-heavy balance.

In the tournament range the series splits into two shafts: the Nitrix 70 Volta (4U) has a 7.1 mm VaporShaft with medium flex – more whip, more power support for your swing. The Nitrix 70 Venom (4U) goes with 6.1 mm, one of the slimmest shafts on the market: stiffer, more direct, for fast hands. The tip of the spear is the Nitrix Pro Srikanth, Kidambi Srikanth's signature racket – head-heavy, stiff, uncompromisingly built for the smash. It also comes in 3U for even more stability.

Flareon – speed for the offensive

Flareon is trimmed for swing speed. It's the fastest series in the Hundred lineup and suits players who score through pace and frequency rather than raw force.

The Flareon 100 (4U) is the head-light speed entry for hobby and club players – it also comes as an ultra-light 5U variant. If you want to play offensively but stay on an entry budget, take the Flareon Typhoon (5U): ultra-light, but head-heavy for more bite. The competition version is the Flareon 700 (4U) – head-heavy balance plus a hard-flex shaft for full smash power.

Hyfonic – control and all-round

Hyfonic is the balanced series. No extreme in any direction, just stability and control. Ideal if you put clean all-round play over raw power, or are still working on your technique.

The Hyfonic 1 (4U) is the control entry with even balance, also available as 5U. A step up sits the Hyfonic Lazer (5U) for aspiring club players. The jump into the tournament segment is the Hyfonic 7 (4U): even balance at competition level, for players who want maneuverability and precision.

Battle – tournament power for club players

Battle is the head-heavy tournament series for ambitious club and tournament players. Every model is built for power and stability from the backcourt, while staying playable at 4U.

The entry into the tournament segment is the Battle 600 (4U) at around 80 g – a great fit. The Battle 900 (4U) is the pro model with the best balance of speed and stability. Top of the series is the Battle 1000 (4U) – good maneuverability without power loss.

Z-Tronic – offensive meets speed

Z-Tronic is the offensive tournament series for players who want smash power and fast hands in one racket. The Z-Tronic 100 (4U) combines head-heavy power with lightning-fast stroke preparation at around 83 g – a racket for offensive club and tournament players who don't want to choose between force and pace.

Nuclear – the lightweights

Nuclear is Hundred's hyperlight series. Here pace counts. The rackets are extremely light and built for high swing speed – strong in doubles and for anyone who plays through speed.

The Nuclear 60 is Hundred's lightest racket at 60 g – uncompromisingly tuned for speed. The Nuclear 72 (72 g) is the fast doubles and all-rounder. If you want a bit more power reserve without giving up swing speed, take the Nuclear 78 (78 g) – the power all-rounder of the series.

Nano Neo – the all-rounder

Nano Neo is the versatile mid-range for advanced players. The Nano Neo 7000 (4U) sits at 81–85 g in the balanced 4U range and delivers power and speed in one racket. A good step up when a pure beginner racket has become too little, but you don't yet want to commit to one playing direction.

Which Hundred badminton racket suits you?

You're a beginner or hobby player. Reach for a light, even-balanced racket that forgives mistakes. The Nitrix 10 or the Hyfonic 1 are the right base.

You like to play fast and offensively. Speed is your game – then the Flareon series or a light Nuclear fits.

Your game lives off the smash. Want pressure from the backcourt? Then look at Nitrix, Battle or Z-Tronic.

You play tournaments or league. Get a pro model: Nitrix Pro Srikanth, Flareon 700 or Battle 1000.

Frequently asked questions

What do 3U, 4U and 5U mean?

The U value stands for the frame weight. 3U is the heaviest (approx. 85–89 g), 4U is mid-range (approx. 80–84 g), 5U is ultra-light (approx. 75–79 g). Heavier means more stability and power, lighter means more swing speed. 4U is the best compromise for most players.

Head-heavy or head-light – which is better?

It depends on your game. Head-heavy rackets give more power on the smash and from the backcourt, but cost pace on fast shots at the net. Head-light rackets are more maneuverable and faster – ideal for doubles and for a defensive, fast game.

Do I need a tournament racket right away as a beginner?

No. Stiff tournament rackets demand clean technique, otherwise you give away power. Start with a more flexible, even-balanced model like the Nitrix 10 or Hyfonic 1 and move up later.
