GOS's Opinion

The 4U Nitrix 80 Bullet has amazing power and good speed, and works well for both singles and doubles. Its head-heavy balance and 5.9 mm shaft still deliver the heavy smash the 80 Bullet is built for, while the lighter weight and Mid Flex shaft keep it quick and forgiving through long rallies. For most advanced players, this is the safest pick in the Nitrix 80 Bullet range; choose the 3U only if raw singles power matters most.

God of Sports Expert Verdict on Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet Badminton Racket (4U):

  • The Nitrix 80 Bullet is the attacking flagship of Hundred's power-focused Nitrix series, and the 4U is the version that balances that power with genuinely usable speed, making it the most versatile choice in the range.
  • Hundred pairs a head-heavy balance with an ultra-thin 5.9 mm shaft and its Curve² frame shape. In 4U the shaft is Mid Flex rather than the 3U's Hard Flex, so it loads more easily and gives a little extra kick when your swing is short or rushed.
  • Hundred rates it for professional-level attacking players. The 4U keeps the heavy, steep smash the 80 Bullet is built for, while the lighter weight lets you recover faster for drives, blocks and net exchanges.
  • This is the safest pick in the Nitrix 80 Bullet line for most advanced players: strong enough for singles from the rearcourt, quick enough for doubles, and more forgiving over a long match than the heavier, stiffer 3U.

Technology Breakdown:

  • 5.9 mm Ultra-Thin Shaft — speed through the swing: The thinnest shaft among the Nitrix rackets GOS stocks moves through the air with less drag, so the head-heavy frame still accelerates quickly. Hundred designs it to hold its line through contact, which keeps hard smashes on target.
  • Head-Heavy Balance — weight behind attacking shots: Extra mass towards the head adds momentum to smashes and helps clears reach the back line. At 4U that head weight is easier to manage than on the 3U, so the racket recovers faster between shots.
  • Mid Flex Shaft (4U) — power that is easier to unlock: The 4U and 5U use a Mid Flex shaft, where the 3U is Hard Flex. A shaft with a little more bend stores energy on the swing and releases it at contact, so you get power without needing a perfect, full-speed stroke every time.
  • Curve² Frame Shape — an attacking platform: Hundred's Curve² frame is the head shape shared across the Nitrix power rackets, giving a consistent, attack-ready string bed for repeated smashes and steep downward shots.

Performance Ratings:

Category Score (/10) Notes
Attack 10 Head-heavy balance, the 5.9 mm shaft and a Mid Flex kick produce heavy, steep smashes; the power is the 80 Bullet's signature even at 4U.
Defence 9 The lighter 4U recovers well for blocks and lifts, though a head-light speed frame is still quicker against the fastest body smashes.
Net Area 9 Quick enough for interceptions and firm net kills; the head weight means the very fastest net exchanges are a touch slower than on a dedicated speed racket.
Control 9 The thin shaft holds its line and the Mid Flex shaft is forgiving on rushed shots, so placement stays reliable across a long rally.

Racket Finder — Is This Right for You?

  • Advanced players who play both singles and doubles: the 4U is powerful enough to finish from the rearcourt in singles and quick enough for drive exchanges in doubles.
  • Attackers who want power without a hard-to-load shaft: the Mid Flex shaft gives head-heavy power with a wider timing window than the 3U's Hard Flex.
  • Players moving up within the Nitrix series: a natural step from the Nitrix 70 Venom or Nitrix Pro for a player who wants a thinner, faster shaft.
  • Not for you if you want maximum raw power for singles: the heavier, stiffer 3U Nitrix 80 Bullet delivers harder smashes and deeper clears, at the cost of handling speed.
  • Not for you if you are a beginner: a head-heavy professional-level frame still asks for good technique. Developing players get more from a lighter, more flexible racket while their swing settles.

Playing Style Guide:

  • Rearcourt / Attacking Player

    • The 80 Bullet's core strength. Smashes and steep half-smashes land heavily, and the Mid Flex shaft helps generate power even from a slightly late or cramped position.
  • Singles Player

    • A strong all-round singles choice: enough power to attack from the back and push opponents deep, with lighter handling than the 3U for retrieving and counter-attacking.
  • Doubles Player

    • Works for both partners: heavy smashes from the back, and enough speed to hold your own in drives and mid-court exchanges.
  • Frontcourt / Net Player

    • Capable at the net, with firm kills and quick enough interceptions, though specialist net players who live in the fastest exchanges may still prefer a head-light speed frame.

Other Hundred Rackets also at God of Sports:

Is the Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet 4U good for both singles and doubles?

Yes - versatility is the 4U's main strength. The head-heavy balance and 5.9 mm shaft give it the heavy smash the Nitrix 80 Bullet is known for, which suits attacking singles from the rearcourt. The lighter 4U weight and Mid Flex shaft make it quick enough to recover for drives, blocks and mid-court exchanges in doubles. A pure net specialist may still prefer a head-light speed frame, and a power-only singles player may prefer the 3U, but for most advanced players the 4U covers both formats well.

Should I choose the 4U or the 3U Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet?

Choose the 4U unless raw power for singles is your only priority. Hundred lists the 3U with a Hard Flex shaft and the 4U with Mid Flex, so the difference is more than weight. The 3U is heavier and stiffer, giving harder smashes and deeper clears but slower handling and a narrower timing window. The 4U keeps most of that power, recovers faster between shots and is more forgiving over a long match, which is why it is the safer pick for most advanced players.

What does the 5.9 mm shaft do on the Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet?

It lets a head-heavy racket swing fast. At 5.9 mm, the shaft is thinner than those on the other Nitrix rackets GOS stocks, which range from 6.1 to 7.0 mm, so it moves through the air with less drag. That helps the racket head accelerate quickly on smashes and recover sooner for the next shot. Hundred designs the shaft to stay stable through contact, so the extra speed does not cost you accuracy when you hit hard.

What string tension should I use on the Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet 4U?

Stay at or below Hundred's maximum of 32 lbs. Within that limit, most advanced players are comfortable between 25 and 29 lbs on a power frame like this. Higher tension gives a crisper, more precise response but needs a fast, accurate swing; lower tension adds repulsion and makes power easier to generate. The Mid Flex shaft on the 4U works well in the middle of that range. In hot, humid Indian conditions strings lose tension faster, so restring regularly rather than overcompensating.

Is the Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet 4U suitable for intermediate players?

It suits strong intermediates who are moving into advanced play better than the 3U does. Hundred rates the 80 Bullet for professional-level attacking players, but the 4U's lighter weight and Mid Flex shaft make it noticeably easier to load and less tiring than the 3U. An intermediate player who already swings with decent technique can grow into it. A player still developing their basic swing will progress faster with a lighter, more flexible racket and should step up to the 80 Bullet later.

How does the Nitrix 80 Bullet 4U compare with the Nitrix Pro and Nitrix 70 Venom?

All three are head-heavy Hundred power rackets with the Curve² frame and a 32 lbs maximum tension. The differences are shaft thickness and flex: the 80 Bullet 4U has the thinnest shaft at 5.9 mm with Mid Flex, while the Nitrix 70 Venom 4U (6.1 mm) and Nitrix Pro 4U (6.5 mm) both use Hard Flex. So the 80 Bullet 4U is faster through the air and easier to load, while the Venom and Pro suit players who prefer a stiffer, more direct response.

Is the G6 grip on the Hundred Nitrix 80 Bullet too thin?

For many players it simply needs an overgrip. G6 is a slimmer grip size than the G5 common on many other brands' rackets in India. A thinner handle helps with finger control and quick grip changes, but players with larger hands, or those used to G5, often add one or two overgrips to build it up. That is easy to adjust and costs little, so grip size should not decide whether this racket suits you. Try the grip with an overgrip before deciding it is too thin.
