GOS's Opinion

The Nuclear 72 is light enough to give real handling and transition speed advantages over conventional 4U frames, but heavy enough to deliver competitive smash power and clear depth. Its head-heavy balance and flexible 7.0 mm shaft let quick, wrist-driven swings carry real weight. We rate it for intermediate players and quick-handed attackers who want a faster racket without giving up attacking intent.

God of Sports Expert Verdict on Hundred Nuclear 72 Badminton Racket (Black/Gold/Grey):

The Nuclear 72 sits in Hundred's lightweight Nuclear series at 72 g, a 6U frame that is noticeably lighter than the 4U rackets most club players use. It is built to make every swing easier and faster, while keeping enough weight for proper attacking shots.
Hundred pairs that light frame with a head-heavy 310 mm balance and a Flexible 7.0 mm VaporShaft. The balance puts mass where it helps smashes and clears; the flexible shaft adds kick on short, quick swings, so power comes from wrist action rather than a big backswing.
Compared with the 60 g Nuclear 60, the Nuclear 72 carries 12 g more and a less extreme balance, which gives it more solidity on smashes and blocks while staying far quicker than a 4U. Buyers on Hundred's site highlight its light weight, speed and control, and one noted the factory grip is worth replacing.
It suits intermediate players and quick-handed attackers who want faster transitions than a 4U allows, without dropping to an ultra-light frame that gives up power. Hundred rates it for advanced attacking players; it rewards good technique, and heavy-hitting rear-court players will still find more power in a 4U or 3U frame.

Technology Breakdown:

72 g Lightweight Frame — speed with substance: Light enough to give quicker reactions and transitions than a 4U racket, and heavy enough to carry real weight into smashes and clears.
Hyperlight Carbon Fibre — strength at low weight: Hundred's lightweight carbon keeps the frame rigid enough for attacking shots while holding the total weight at 72 g.
AeroBlade Frame on a Curve² shape — less air drag: The frame is shaped to reduce air resistance, so the racket accelerates faster through the swing and recovers sooner for the next shot.
VaporShaft, Flexible 7.0 mm — power from short swings: The flexible shaft bends and releases at contact, adding pace to quick wrist-driven drives, smashes and lifts without needing a long backswing.
Head-Heavy Balance (310 mm) — attacking intent: Weight towards the head adds momentum to smashes and helps clears reach the back line, while the light total weight keeps handling quick.

Performance Ratings:

Category	Score (/10)	Notes
Attack	8	Competitive smash power and clear depth for a 72 g frame, thanks to the head-heavy balance and flexible kick, though a 4U or 3U power racket still hits harder.
Defence	8	Quick to react to smashes and body shots; against very heavy hitters, the lighter frame has less mass to absorb the shuttle than a 4U.
Net Area	9	One of the racket's strengths: the light frame gets to interceptions early, and the head weight helps push net kills down.
Control	9	Easy to place drives and pushes, with buyers singling out its directional control; the flexible shaft forgives short, rushed strokes.

Racket Finder — Is This Right for You?

Intermediate players who find a 4U slow: the Nuclear 72 gives faster handling and court coverage while keeping proper attacking power.
Doubles players who play fast and flat: quick recovery for drives and interceptions, with enough head weight to attack a lifted shuttle.
Quick-handed attackers: the flexible shaft and head-heavy balance reward wrist-driven power over a long, strong swing.
Not for you if you want maximum smash power: a heavier head-heavy frame such as the Battle 1000 or Nitrix 80 Bullet puts more weight behind the shuttle.
Not for you if you want the lightest possible racket: the 60 g Nuclear 60 is easier still on the arm, at the cost of some power.
Not for you if you are a complete beginner: a light, head-heavy frame rewards sound technique; a balanced, forgiving all-round racket is a better first step.

Playing Style Guide:

Doubles Front-Court / Net Player
- Fast to the net for interceptions and kills, with enough head weight to finish downward.
Doubles Drive and Mid-Court Player
- Light enough to keep up in flat exchanges, with a flexible kick that adds pace to short drives.
Rearcourt / Attacking Player
- Delivers competitive smashes and good clear depth for its weight; dedicated rear-court smashers will still get more from a heavier frame.
Singles Player
- Suits a quick, well-rounded singles game: light enough for fast court coverage, with enough weight to clear deep and attack the short reply.

Is the Hundred Nuclear 72 better than a 4U racket?

It is faster, not universally better. At 72 g it is noticeably lighter than a 4U frame, which usually weighs 80 to 84 g, so it reacts quicker in drives, defence and at the net, and is less tiring over a long session. Its head-heavy 310 mm balance keeps attacking shots competitive. What you give up is some mass behind the heaviest smashes and when blocking very hard hitters, so power-first rear-court players may still prefer a 4U.

What is the difference between the Hundred Nuclear 60 and Nuclear 72?

Mainly weight and balance. The Nuclear 60 is 60 g with a more extreme 330 mm head-heavy balance and a G5 grip; the Nuclear 72 is 72 g with a 310 mm balance and a G6 grip. Both use a Flexible 7.0 mm shaft and a 32 lbs maximum tension. The Nuclear 60 is easier on the arm and quicker still, while the Nuclear 72 adds solidity on smashes and blocks. Choose the 72 if you want more power without moving up to 4U.

Is the Hundred Nuclear 72 good for intermediate players?

Yes, for intermediates with reasonably sound technique. The light frame and flexible shaft make power easier to generate from short swings, and the faster handling helps with court coverage. Hundred rates it for advanced attacking players, so it rewards clean contact: the head-heavy balance can feel unforgiving if your timing is still inconsistent. A player in their first year or two of coached badminton will progress faster with a balanced, forgiving all-round racket.

What string tension should I use on the Hundred Nuclear 72?

Stay at or below Hundred's maximum of 32 lbs. On a light, flexible frame, most intermediate players get the best balance of power and control between 23 and 27 lbs, where the string bed adds repulsion and keeps the sweet spot forgiving. Stronger players can go a little higher for crisper control. Lower tension is kinder to the arm, which suits players moving down from a heavier frame. In humid Indian conditions strings lose tension faster, so restring regularly.

Is the Nuclear 72 suitable for singles?

Yes, for a quick, well-rounded singles game. The 72 g frame helps with fast court coverage and recovering defensive shots, while the head-heavy balance gives enough weight to clear deep and attack a short reply. It is less suited to a singles game built on heavy, repeated smashes from the back, where a 4U or 3U frame puts more weight behind the shuttle. Buyers on Hundred's site specifically mention its balance working well for singles.

Which colours does the Hundred Nuclear 72 come in?

God of Sports stocks six colourways: Black/White/Gold, White/Black/Blue, Red/Black/Gold, Black/Gold/Grey, White/Red/Black and Orange/Black/Blue. All six share the same specification: 72 g, head-heavy with a 310 mm balance point, a Flexible 7.0 mm VaporShaft, the Curve² frame shape, a G6 grip and a 32 lbs maximum tension. The colour you choose does not change how the racket plays, so pick the one you like best.

Should I replace the grip on the Hundred Nuclear 72?

Many players do. One buyer on Hundred's site found the factory grip below the standard of the racket, and fitting a fresh replacement or overgrip is an inexpensive way to improve feel and sweat absorption, especially in humid Indian conditions. The Nuclear 72 comes in G6, a slimmer size than the G5 common on other brands in India, so players with larger hands often add one or two overgrips to build the handle up.
