Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Hundred Nitrix Thunder (5U/G6) is an attacking badminton racket for advanced players who want big smashes, fast swing speed and an aggressive game. A head-heavy balance, flexible shaft and aerodynamic Curve² frame give strong power output with quick acceleration and smooth handling, while the light 5U carbon fibre frame suits high-intensity rallies and offensive play.
Key Features
- Head-heavy balance – momentum for powerful smashes and attacking clears, with better shuttle penetration and finishing; suited to backcourt attackers.
- Flexible 7mm shaft – extra whip for easy power, helping you hit harder with less effort and improving timing and responsiveness in fast attacking rallies.
- Light 5U weight – quick swing speed and rapid reactions, well suited to doubles and fast exchanges, with less fatigue in long matches.
- Curve² aerodynamic frame – a streamlined frame that reduces air resistance for faster swings, improves precision and stability at speed and enlarges the sweet spot.
- Carbon fibre construction – frame stability and long-lasting performance, with good energy transfer for competitive and regular use.
- High tension support (≤ 32 lbs) – higher string tension for control and accuracy, so you can customise to your playing style.
- Attacking design – optimised for smashes, drives and attacking play in singles and doubles.
- G6 grip size – a smaller grip for wrist control, manoeuvrability and quicker reactions in fast rallies.
Performance Overview
The Nitrix Thunder is built for sustained attacking play. The head-heavy balance loads power into every shot, the flexible shaft adds whip for easier smashes and attacking clears, and the light 5U frame gives quick recovery so you can stay on the attack through fast rallies. Combined with the aerodynamic Curve² frame, it offers smooth acceleration, good stability and consistent shot execution for players who want to win points with power.
