The Hundred Flareon 100 5U Pearl White is the superlight 5U variant of the Flareon 100 – Hundred's entry-level speed racket (comparable to Yonex' Nanoflare architecture). Made for club and hobby players looking for an extremely light, fast racket – also ideal for junior players or returning players.
Playing Character: Superlight for Maximum Speed
The 5U weight (approx. 76–80 g) is one of the lightest specifications on the market. Combined with the head-light balance, it creates a racket that almost moves itself through the game: drives come extremely early, net-play is precise and fast, and in defense the feel stays controlled at all times.
The flexible shaft is explicitly beginner-friendly: even without perfect stroke technique, the shaft loads up and gives power back. An ideal choice for the transition from a school racket to your first real carbon racket – or as a second racket for ambitious doubles players.
Technology in Detail
Superlight Carbon Fibre: Pure carbon construction – stable frame at low weight and fair price-performance ratio.
Aero Frame Geometry: Aerodynamically optimised frame for reduced air resistance and fast swings.
Isometric Frame Shape: Enlarged sweet spot for more tolerance on off-center hits.
T-Joint Reinforcement: Reinforced transition between shaft and T-joint – higher structural stability.
Stringing & Delivery
The Hundred Flareon 100 5U Pearl White is delivered unstrung – so you can match the stringing to your individual playing style and level. We recommend 20–24 lbs (beginner) or 24–26 lbs (club player) with an all-round string like BG65 Ti, BG66 Ultimax or Hundred BS65. The 30 lbs ceiling clearly defines the entry-level segment.
👉 Stringing service: We're happy to string your racket professionally – just add your preferred string and tension in the order notes.
Who is the Flareon 100 5U Made For?
Clearly suited for: beginners, junior players, club entrants, doubles players with a speed focus, hobby players looking for an especially light racket. Also makes sense as a training backup.
Less suited for: players with established smash-power stroke technique – they should look at the Flareon Typhoon (head-heavy) or Flareon 700. Also, advanced players who like more control weight in the frame should reach for the 4U model.
