Balance determines whether your racket is head heavy, even or head light.
Flexibility ranges from 0 – 100%, the higher the percentage, the chance of generating power in your shot.
Total Weight is the unstrung weight of the racket as measured by Yonex Precision Scan. Heavier rackets generate more power.
Swing Weight is measured by the swinging of the racket at a specific speed. A lighter swing weight can lead to more control.
Performance Swing Weight considers the weight, balance and swing weight to give you an effective estimate of the power behind your racket.

The Ashaway NanoQube SLe (Superlight) is a light, head-heavy badminton racket for all-round players, supplied strung with Zymax 69 Fire Black. It is part of the NanoQube ‘e’ range, which keeps the same specification as the previous model but uses ‘enviropaint’, an improved and more eco-friendly paint application, for a more sustainable cosmetic.
Key Features
- Qubatech profile – corrects racket-head orientation during the swing for a clean, crisp impact.
- Superlight frame – listed at 79g, with a frame weight of 78g (5U), for speedy handling, easy manoeuvrability and accuracy.
- Medium flex – an approachable flex that suits all-round play.
- Head-heavy balance – adds power potential to a very light frame.
- Superlight carbon layers – for increased acceleration.
- 40 tonne Japanese carbon graphite – improved stiffness, strength and a lightweight feel.
- Strung with Zymax 69 Fire Black – for good tension maintenance and durability.
- Enviropaint cosmetic – a striking electric blue chrome finish using a more eco-friendly paint application.
Performance Overview
The NanoQube SLe pairs a very light 5U frame with a head-heavy balance, so it is quick through the air while still giving some weight behind the shuttle. The Qubatech profile helps the head arrive square for clean contact, and the superlight carbon layers add acceleration.
Who Is It For?
All-round players who want a very light, fast-handling racket that still has power potential from a head-heavy balance.
