- 72 g lightweight – fast swing speed for high-speed rallies
- Head-heavy balance – smash power despite the light overall weight

- Distinctive Black/Gold/Grey design – urban accents for the court
The Hundred Nuclear 72 is the versatile hyperlight all-rounder of the Nuclear series – designed for ambitious doubles players and anyone who dominates through pace and reaction. At 72 g noticeably lighter than standard rackets (75–85 g), but not as extreme as the 60 g Nuclear sibling – a clever sweet spot between power and speed. The offensive answer to Yonex Nanoflare and Astrox models in the mid-range.
Playing character: Pace meets all-round power
The head-heavy balance combined with the light 72 g format creates a racket that shines especially in doubles play: drives and net reactions come lightning-fast, smashes still carry impressive punch despite the light weight, and fast defence is effortless. A balanced characteristic that also suits singles players with a pace focus.
The flexible 7.0 mm VaporShaft produces a pronounced whip effect that accelerates every shot explosively. Combined with the Hyperlight Carbon Fibre frame and the Acceleration Cap, this creates a racket that delivers surprisingly much power – without becoming sluggish. An interesting choice for players who don't want to commit to a pure power or pure speed setup.
Technology in detail
Hyperlight Carbon Fibre: Optimised carbon construction with reduced overall weight – more swing speed at full frame stability.
VaporShaft 7.0 mm: Power-multiplier shaft with flexible characteristics – noticeably boosts swing speed.
Acceleration Cap: Reinforced shaft cap at the grip – increases wrist-snap power for faster shots.
Supported Thumb Grip: Larger contact surface for the thumb – improves grip precision and shot control.
Nano-Power Frame System: Optimised frame with expanded sweet spot – consistent repulsion even on off-centre hits.
Stringing & delivery
The Hundred Nuclear 72 ships unstrung – we recommend professional stringing at 24–26 lbs (club players) or 26–30 lbs (tournament players) with an all-round string like Yonex BG65, BG66 Ultimax or Hundred CR65. The 32 lbs upper limit allows tight stringing for control-focused players.
👉 Stringing service: We're happy to string your racket professionally – just add your preferred string and tension in the order notes.
Who is the Nuclear 72 made for?
Clearly suited for: Doubles players with a pace focus, all-rounders who want to combine power and speed, singles players with an aggressive style, anyone looking for a versatile racket for club and tournament. An interesting alternative to the pure hyperlight variant for players who prefer a bit more racket weight.
Less suited for: Pure smash power players in the 4U format – they're better served by the Hundred Z-Tronic 100. Players looking for maximum swing speed without compromise will find the more uncompromising hyperlight option in the Hundred Nuclear 60 at just 60 g.
