It keeps the series' attacking identity, a head-heavy balance on Hundred's Curve² frame, but in a much lighter package that is built around quicker handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe defining part of the racket is its 5.9 mm shaft, the thinnest of any Nitrix racket GOS stocks. In 5U it is Mid Flex, the same as the 4U, while the 3U uses Hard Flex. That shaft bends enough to help load a short, fast swing, yet Hundred builds it to hold its line through contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 5U is a genuinely different racket from its heavier siblings, not just a lighter copy. Less overall mass means faster reactions in drives and at the net, but less weight behind a full smash. Hundred also sets a lower maximum string tension for the 5U: 30 lbs, against 32 lbs on the 3U and 4U.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt suits advanced players who want head-heavy attacking intent without the swing weight of a 3U or 4U: doubles players who play fast and flat, and anyone who values reaction speed over the heaviest possible smash. A player who wants a truly head-light or even-balanced frame should look at a dedicated speed racket instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnology Breakdown:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.9 mm Ultra-Thin Shaft — speed through the swing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The thinnest shaft in the Nitrix line cuts air drag, so the racket head reaches speed quickly even on a compact swing. Hundred designs it to stay stable through contact, so fast drives and smashes still go where you aim them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMid Flex Shaft (5U) — easier loading on short swings:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5U shares the 4U's Mid Flex shaft. It flexes enough to store energy on a quick, short stroke and release it at contact, which suits the rushed, reactive shots of fast doubles better than the 3U's Hard Flex.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead-Heavy Balance at 5U — attack in a light frame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most 5U rackets, which lean head-light for speed, the 80 Bullet keeps its weight towards the head. The result is a light racket that still pushes the shuttle down with intent, though the very fastest net exchanges favour a head-light frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurve² Frame Shape — an attacking platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hundred's Curve² head shape is shared across the Nitrix power rackets and gives a consistent string bed for repeated attacking shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e30 lbs Maximum Tension — know the limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 5U's frame is rated to 30 lbs, lower than the heavier versions.
