Hundred
Nitrix 70 Volta
Hundred's head-heavy "smash machine" with a flexible 7.0mm shaft — Nitrix power with a wider timing window than its hard-flex sibling, the Venom.
GOS verdict
Read this first"Nitrix smash power, without needing a pro's swing speed."
The Nitrix 70 Volta is one of two Nitrix 70 attacking rackets from Hundred. Both are head-heavy and built from M46X carbon on a Curve² frame, but they split on the shaft: the Venom uses a hard-flex 6.1mm shaft, while the Volta uses a flexible 7.0mm shaft. Hundred calls the Volta "a smash machine", with AECG+ carbon for snap-back and T-Fuse technology strengthening the core.
The flexible shaft is the Volta's key quality. It stores energy on the backswing and releases it into the shuttle, so heavy smashes and deep clears come with less effort and a wider timing window. The honest limitation is handling: like every head-heavy racket, it is slower in fast flat exchanges, and the flexible shaft gives a less crisp, direct response than the Venom. For club and tournament attackers who want Nitrix power without a stiff shaft, the Volta is excellent at its GOS price point.
- An attacking player who wants easier smash power
- Moving up from an even-balance racket to a head-heavy one
- A doubles player who attacks from the rear court
- Wanting a high 32 lbs tension ceiling
- A front-court player who lives on fast exchanges
- Wanting a crisp, hard-flex response — choose the Venom
- A beginner — a lighter, more forgiving racket suits better
- Looking for a head-light speed racket
What is the
Nitrix 70 Volta?
01 / 08
The Hundred Nitrix 70 Volta is a head-heavy attacking racket in Hundred's Nitrix series, the brand's power line. Hundred places it in its Pro Rackets range for professional-level players, and describes it as built for clean, aggressive power: a head-heavy balance and aerodynamic frame to generate maximum power in every swing.
It shares the Nitrix 70 name, M46X carbon and Curve² frame with the Nitrix 70 Venom, but the two are built for different swings. The Venom has a hard-flex, ultra-slim 6.1mm shaft for players who supply their own power. The Volta has a flexible 7.0mm shaft that adds whip to the swing, making Nitrix power accessible to a wider range of attacking players.
The Nitrix 70 Volta's defining decision is a flexible shaft in a head-heavy attacking frame. Head weight supplies the momentum; the flexible shaft stores energy and releases it at contact. Players get a heavy smash even when they are slightly late or off balance — at the cost of some of the crisp, direct feel of the Venom's hard-flex shaft.
Pro player: Alexandra Bøje (Denmark, mixed doubles) — world #2 in mixed doubles with Mathias Christiansen, 2026 European Champion, plays with the Nitrix 70 Volta.

breakdown

The flexible shaft — why not hard flex, like the Venom?
Nitrix 70 Volta — Flexible 7.0mm shaft
Alternative — Hard-flex shaft (Nitrix 70 Venom)
A flexible shaft that bends on the backswing and springs back at contact. It adds whip to the swing, giving a wider timing window on smashes and clears than the Venom's hard-flex shaft.
Hundred uses M46X carbon fibre to boost energy transfer, and AECG+ carbon fibre for sharp snap-back and structural rigidity under the load of a full smash.
Hundred's T-Fuse technology strengthens the racket's core, keeping the frame stable through repeated heavy contacts.
Hundred's Curve² frame shape with an aerodynamic profile, designed to cut through the air so the head-heavy frame still swings quickly.

Zone-by-zone assessment
| Zone | Rating | Performance | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smashes | 89 | Exceptional | The racket's identity. Head-heavy balance puts weight behind the shuttle and the flexible shaft helps release it, so heavy smashes come even from a slightly late swing. |
| Control | 84 | Good | Stable on contact with a wide timing window, which helps consistency. Placement is less pin-point than with the Venom's hard-flex shaft. |
| Flat drives | 83 | Good | Drives carry weight once the racket is moving. In very fast exchanges, the head weight and shaft flex make it a touch slower to respond. |
| Defence | 82 | Good | The flexible shaft helps lifts and clears reach the baseline from a short swing. Recovery against repeated steep smashes is slower than with a head-light frame. |
| Net play | 80 | Good | Net kills are powerful when the racket is up early. Fine net touch needs a little more care because of the head weight. |
| Maneuverability | 78 | Good | Honest limitation. A head-heavy frame is slower to reset in fast flat exchanges at the front. The 4U is the quicker of the two weights at GOS. |
Real on-court situations
| Situation | Level | What the player feels |
|---|---|---|
| Full rear-court smash | Exceptional | Heavy and steep with a comfortable swing. This is the shot the Volta is built for. |
| Smash from a slightly late position | Exceptional | The flexible shaft still releases good pace, where a hard-flex frame gives much less back. |
| Deep clear from the baseline | Exceptional | Reaches the opposite baseline easily. Head weight and flex do much of the work. |
| Defensive lift under pressure | Good | Short swings still produce depth thanks to the shaft's whip. |
| Mid-court drive exchange in doubles | Good | Drives carry weight but feel less crisp than with a hard-flex shaft. |
| Net kill on a loose reply | Good | Powerful when the racket is up early. Late preparation shows more than with a lighter head. |
| Fast flat exchange at the front | Good | Keeps up, but the head mass is noticeable. Front-court specialists may prefer a head-light frame. |

recommendations

All recommendations sit well inside the Volta's 32 lbs ceiling. The flexible shaft already adds power, so most players get the best feel in the mid-20s.
Power, repulsion and strong tension retention
Tension guide: Club 22–25 lbs · Advanced 25–28 lbs · Structural ceiling 32 lbs · Professional machine stringing above 26 lbs recommended.
