HNDRD Nitrix Thunder Badminton Racket
A super-fast 5U attacking frame built to swing quick, load power, and punish short lifts—ideal for aggressive intermediates who want speed without losing punch.
On-Court Feel
Nitrix Thunder (5U) is tuned for players who like to press the rally—quick preparation, fast head speed, and a head-heavy balance that helps your attacks land with authority. If your game is built on smash-and-follow pressure in doubles, Thunder is made to play in front and strike earlier.
- Smashes: faster swing + head weight helps you hit steep with less effort.
- Drives & blocks: 5U handling makes fast exchanges feel easier to control.
- Rear-court clears: quick acceleration helps you keep depth even when late.

A performance-tuned carbon construction focused on keeping the racket light, strong, and responsive—so Thunder stays quick while still feeling solid through impact.
Built to reduce overall swing resistance so you gain a split-second timing advantage—especially useful for fast doubles interceptions and earlier smash contact.
Optimized frame shaping that helps make contact feel cleaner and attacks feel more decisive—supporting a sharper, more punishing strike when you commit to offense.
