Which Hundred Racket Is Best?

Team Yumo tests the 2026 HUNDRED lineup.

Choosing a new badminton racket shouldn't feel like a guessing game. Too often, players get overwhelmed by complicated technical specs, confusing marketing terms, or the assumption that elite gear is only for professionals. At Yumo Pro Shop, we believe the right equipment should build your confidence, feel welcoming, and make you excited to get on the court.

That's why we're thrilled to announce that Yumo is officially bringing HUNDRED Badminton to Canada! Originating from Singapore and making waves across Europe, HUNDRED is now landing in North America. Team Yumo's Tommy and Steven recently hit the court to put the brand-new 2026 racket lineup through a rigorous, high-energy testing session.

To really feel the differences under pressure, we introduced The Chaos Game: every 5 points, Tommy and Steven had to swap rackets.

First Impressions

Team Yumo's Top Picks

After battling it out on the half-court (and playing for bubble tea), Tommy and Steven shared their favourite models from the test:

Tommy's Pick — Flareon Typhoon

Featuring a head-light balance paired with a flexible shaft, Tommy found this model exceptionally fast and intuitive for generating easy power. Many models in this lineup lean toward a flexible profile, making them exceptionally welcoming for beginner-to-intermediate players.

Steven's Pick — Nitrix Pro

True to his preferred style, Steven gravitated toward the stiff, head-heavy Pro model designed for maximum power output.

The Crowd-Pleaser — Nitrix Attack

A 5U head-heavy racket featuring a flexible shaft. This offers a more user-friendly, lightweight design that delivers effortless power without sacrificing court speed.

Featured Technology

Control Foam

One of the standout innovations highlighted in the review is HUNDRED's proprietary Control Foam technology. Integrated directly into the frame (placement varies by model), this specialized foam dampens unwanted vibrations and dramatically improves shot stability when striking the shuttle.
