GOS's Opinion

We see the Nuclear 60 as best suited to doubles front-court specialists, arm-sensitive players who cannot sustain heavier frames across long sessions, and intermediate players who want faster court coverage. At 60 g it reacts quickly and puts little load on the arm, while the head-heavy balance stops it feeling empty on attacking shots. Rear-court power players should look at a heavier frame.

God of Sports Expert Verdict on Hundred Nuclear 60 Badminton Racket (Navy/Gold):

  • The Nuclear 60 is Hundred's lightest racket at just 60 g, far below the 4U and 5U frames most club players use. Its whole design is about reducing the effort of every swing, so the racket reaches the shuttle sooner and is ready for the next shot faster.
  • What makes it unusual is the balance. Most ultra-light rackets lean head-light, but Hundred sets the Nuclear 60 head-heavy, with a 330 mm balance point, and pairs it with a Flexible 7.0 mm shaft. Because the total weight is so low, the swing stays light; the head weight gives shots some push so the frame does not feel empty on contact.
  • Hundred rates it for attacking play and highlights its Unicarbon carbon fibre, an Acceleration Cap that adds to wrist snap, and a Supported Thumb Grip with a wider surface for precise backhands. Buyers on Hundred's site praise it for fast games and easy handling.
  • It suits doubles front-court players, intermediate players who want quicker court coverage, and anyone whose arm or shoulder tires with a heavier frame over long sessions. The honest trade-off is mass: a 60 g racket has less weight to put behind a full rear-court smash and less to absorb a very heavy incoming smash.

Technology Breakdown:

  • 60 g Superlight Frame — less effort, faster reactions: With far less mass to move than a 4U or 5U racket, every swing takes less effort. On court that means faster reactions in drives and defence, and less fatigue in the arm and shoulder over a long session.
  • Unicarbon Carbon Fibre — strength at a very low weight: Hundred's Unicarbon is a lightweight carbon fibre variant that lets the frame stay rigid enough for attacking shots while keeping the total weight at 60 g.
  • Head-Heavy Balance (330 mm) — push without the weight: Weight placed towards the head gives the shuttle more drive on smashes and clears than a head-light ultra-light frame would. Because the racket is so light overall, this balance does not make it slow to handle.
  • Flexible 7.0 mm Shaft — easy power from a short swing: The shaft bends and kicks back at contact, which helps generate pace from short, compact swings at the net and in defence, without needing a big backswing.
  • Acceleration Cap and Supported Thumb Grip — wrist snap and precision: Hundred's Acceleration Cap is designed to add to the force of your wrist, and the wider Supported Thumb Grip gives the thumb a firmer platform for quick backhand flicks, pushes and drives.

Performance Ratings:

Category Score (/10) Notes
Attack 7 Sharp, quick smashes and good drive pace, but at 60 g there is less mass behind a full rear-court smash than on a 4U or 5U power frame.
Defence 9 The racket's strongest area: the light frame reacts quickly to fast smashes and body shots, and the flexible shaft helps lift and counter-drive with little backswing.
Net Area 8 Quick to the shuttle for interceptions and net kills; the head-heavy balance helps push net kills down, while delicate touch shots need care with such a light frame.
Control 8 Easy to place drives and pushes thanks to the light weight and Supported Thumb Grip; against very heavy smashes, the low mass can make blocks feel less stable.

Racket Finder — Is This Right for You?

  • Doubles front-court players: the light frame keeps up with fast net exchanges and interceptions, while the head weight helps finish net kills.
  • Arm-sensitive players: if a 4U frame tires your shoulder or elbow over a long session, a 60 g racket with a flexible shaft is far less demanding.
  • Intermediate players who want faster court coverage: less weight to move means quicker reactions in defence and in mid-court drives.
  • Not for you if you are a rear-court power player: heavy smashers chasing maximum power will get more from a heavier head-heavy frame such as the Nitrix 80 Bullet or Battle 1000.
  • Not for you if you face very hard hitters often: a superlight frame has less mass to absorb a heavy smash, so blocks can feel pushed around.
  • Not for you if you are a complete beginner: a very light, head-heavy frame can mask poor technique; a balanced, forgiving all-round racket is a better first step.

Playing Style Guide:

  • Doubles Front-Court / Net Player

    • The Nuclear 60's natural home. Fast interceptions, net kills and pushes come easily, with enough head weight to drive the shuttle down.
  • Doubles Drive and Defensive Player

    • Light enough to react to fast smashes and keep flat drive exchanges going, with a flexible shaft that adds pace on short swings.
  • Rearcourt / Attacking Player

    • Capable of quick smashes and steep drops, but full-power rear-court smashes carry less weight than with a heavier frame.
  • Singles Player

    • Suits a quick, counter-attacking singles game built on reactions and court coverage, rather than one built on heavy smashes and deep clears.

Is a 60 g racket like the Hundred Nuclear 60 too light?

Not for the right player. At 60 g it is Hundred's lightest racket and far lighter than the 4U frames most club players use, which makes it quicker to react with and much less tiring to swing. Hundred offsets the low weight with a head-heavy 330 mm balance, so it does not feel empty on contact. The trade-off is less mass behind full smashes and against heavy incoming shots, so power-first rear-court players will usually prefer a heavier frame.

Why is the Nuclear 60 head-heavy if it is a speed racket?

Because the total weight is so low, the head-heavy balance adds push without slowing the racket down. Most ultra-light rackets lean head-light for pure handling speed, but a 60 g head-light frame can feel weightless and lack drive on smashes. By placing more of the little weight it has towards the head, with a 330 mm balance point, Hundred gives the Nuclear 60 more punch on attacking shots while it still swings far more easily than a heavier racket.

Is the Hundred Nuclear 60 good for players with shoulder or elbow pain?

It is one of the gentler options. A 60 g frame takes much less effort to swing than a 4U racket, and the flexible shaft does more of the work on each shot, which reduces the load on the arm and shoulder over a long session. That said, technique and string tension matter as much as weight: stringing too tight increases shock at contact. If you are managing an existing injury, get advice from a physiotherapist before changing racket.

What string tension should I use on the Hundred Nuclear 60?

Stay at or below Hundred's maximum of 32 lbs, but most players should string well below it. On a light, flexible frame, intermediate players usually get the best feel between 22 and 26 lbs, where the string bed adds repulsion and the sweet spot stays forgiving. Arm-sensitive players should stay at the lower end, because higher tension sends more shock into the arm. In humid Indian conditions strings lose tension faster, so restring regularly.

Is the Nuclear 60 better for doubles or singles?

It is better suited to doubles. The light frame reacts quickly in flat drive exchanges, fast defence and front-court interceptions, which is where doubles rallies are won. In singles it suits a quick, counter-attacking style that relies on reactions and court coverage. Singles players who build points with deep clears and heavy smashes from the back will get more from a heavier, head-heavy racket such as the Battle 1000 or Nitrix 80 Bullet.

Is there any difference between the Nuclear 60 Navy/Gold and White/Blue/Black?

Only the colour. Hundred lists both colourways with the same specification: 60 g, head-heavy with a 330 mm balance point, a Flexible 7.0 mm shaft, Curve² frame, G5 grip and a 32 lbs maximum tension. The Navy/Gold carries style code HBRX-2U028-2 and the White/Blue/Black carries HBRX-2U028-1. Choose whichever colour you prefer; the way the racket plays is identical, and God of Sports stocks both colourways.

What grip size does the Hundred Nuclear 60 come in?

It comes in G5, a common size in India and slightly thicker than the G6 used on many other Hundred rackets. G5 suits most adult players, giving a secure hold for quick grip changes between forehand and backhand. Players with larger hands often add one overgrip for comfort, and those with smaller hands may prefer to use it without an extra layer. The Supported Thumb Grip gives the thumb a wider platform, which helps on backhand pushes and drives.
