Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Hundred Glory 2024 5U is a very light, head-heavy badminton racket for intermediate to advanced players who want speed, precise control and a crisp feel on every shot. Built for fast exchanges and attacking play, this 5U racket (approx. 78 g) pairs a slim 7.0 mm NporShaft with a Nano Frame System for sharp responsiveness in a light package.
Key Features
- Light 5U weight – around 78 g for fast swing speed, quick transitions and reduced arm fatigue; well suited to doubles and quick net-to-baseline rallies.
- 305 mm head-heavy balance – extra punch and shuttle penetration on smashes and clears while keeping touch and stability at the net.
- Flexible shaft for power and repulsion – snap-back action turns into powerful shots with minimal effort, prioritising speed and rhythm.
- NporShaft 7.0 mm – a slim, aerodynamic shaft that reduces air resistance for faster head acceleration in rapid rallies.
- Nano Frame System – improves frame stability and vibration control for consistent shots and longer frame life under high tension.
- Max tension 32 lbs – high string tolerance for precise control and refined feedback.
- Finish – a striking, professional-looking design.
Performance Overview
Designed to balance speed and accuracy, the Glory 2024 performs well in attacking and all-round play. The head-heavy geometry increases smash potential without sacrificing manoeuvrability, while the flexible shaft and high-tension capability give crisp, responsive shots even at high pace. The light frame, aerodynamic shaft and frame stability reduce fatigue in long rallies, helping you keep up tempo and pressure from start to finish.

Intermediate to advanced attacking and all-round players who want fast, controllable power from a light frame.
