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. **Q: What is the weight of the Racquet?** A: 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. **Q: Does this racket come with strings don’t understand description strung, unstrung- strung** A: 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. **Q: Are they for women?** A: Yes it’s unisex light weighted and top selling model of Yonex across the globe ## Frequently Bought Together - YONEX Nanoray 10F Hi-Flex Pre-Strung Badminton Racquet - KEVENZ Goose Feather Badminton Shuttlecocks with Great Stability and Durability, High Speed Badminton Birdies - Philonext Goose Feather Badminton Shuttlecocks Birdies, 12 Pack Hight Speed Training Badminton Balls with Great Stability for Indoor Outdoor Sports --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/125124627-i-series-badminton-racquet](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/125124627-i-series-badminton-racquet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
