What is the inbuilt string tension ?

Just purchased a new Yonex, Nanoray, Light, 18i. Specification is 5U/G4 so light and smallish grip size. Racket states a 20-30lb string tension capability. I would say my delivered racket has a lower than anticipated string tension, so 20lbs from the factory. I would appreciate a higher string tension so may get it re-strung soon. Would also note that this range of Yonex rackets are made in China, under license. If I had known this I may have chosen another ‘home grown’ Yonex racket. Somewhat disappointed with my first games with the 18i. Prefer my old Nanoray, I-Speed at the moment ! Steve Gray, vintage club level player.

What is the weight of the Racquet?

My new Nanoray, Light, 18i is rated as 5U/G4. I understand 5U is the current lightest racket specification around 83-85gms. Hope this helps. Steve Gray, vintage club player.

Does this racket come with strings don’t understand description strung, unstrung- strung

Yes, strung and ready to go. If a racket is unstrung it means there are no strings at all. It's very rare that an 'unstrung' racket would be sold.

Yes it’s unisex light weighted and top selling model of Yonex across the globe
