Hundred Nitrix Attack Badminton Racket

Hundred Nitrix Attack Badminton Racket - Kidambi Edition

The Nitrix Attack 5U is a head-heavy, flexible-shaft badminton racket from the Kidambi Edition line. Built for intermediate attacking players who want fast head speed with smash power — in a 75–79g frame designed for doubles tempo and multi-format play.

Quick Answer

The Hundred Nitrix Attack 5U is a Kidambi Edition intermediate badminton racket with a 6.5mm slim shaft, flexible flex, head-heavy balance, and 32 lbs max tension. The 5U weight (75–79g) makes it the most aerodynamically fast option in Hundred's intermediate Nitrix range — built for doubles and front-court attack.

• Aerodynamic Frame: Reduced drag for higher head speed at contact.
• 5U Weight (75–79g): Faster swing initiation, easier handling in long matches.

Who It Is For

• Doubles players who want head-heavy attack with fast 5U handling.
• Mixed doubles front-court players who need quick net transitions and finishing power.
• Multi-format players who rotate between singles and doubles.
• Intermediate players who follow Srikanth Kidambi's attacking style.

Who It Is Not For

• Pure baseline singles smashers — the 4U Nitrix Attack carries more rear-court mass.
• Advanced players needing pro-grade construction — look at the Nitrix Pro instead.
• Defensive doubles players prioritising head-light speed — the Flareon series fits better.

Why Choose the Nitrix Attack 5U

• The 6.5mm shaft is unusual at this level — most intermediate rackets use 6.8mm or 7.0mm shafts.
• Head-heavy balance with a flexible shaft makes attacking play accessible without demanding pro-level technique.
• 5U weight keeps swing speed high — useful for doubles and matches that go the distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Hundred Nitrix Attack 5U for?

It is built for intermediate attacking players, particularly doubles and mixed doubles players who want head-heavy power in a fast-handling 5U frame. It also suits multi-format players who rotate between singles and doubles.

What is special about the 6.5mm shaft?

The 6.5mm shaft is the narrowest in Hundred's intermediate range — the same diameter used on the pro-level Battle 900. A thinner shaft cuts through the air with less drag, allowing faster head speed for the same swing effort.

Is the Nitrix Attack head-heavy or head-light?

It is head-heavy. The weight is concentrated towards the racket head to add momentum on smashes, drives, and finishing shots — making it an attacking racket.

What is the maximum string tension on the Nitrix Attack 5U?

The maximum recommended tension is 32 lbs. This gives intermediate-to-advanced players room to experiment with crisper, higher-tension setups.

What is the difference between the Nitrix Attack and the Nitrix Thunder?

The Nitrix Attack uses a 6.5mm slim shaft and is the Kidambi Edition intermediate racket. The Nitrix Thunder uses a 7.0mm shaft with Torsion Stop System and Graphite Lab Build. The Attack prioritises shaft aerodynamics; the Thunder prioritises frame stability.

Why is it called the Kidambi Edition?

The Nitrix Attack is part of Hundred's Kidambi Edition line, designed in line with Srikanth Kidambi's first-strike attacking style. The pro-level parallel in the same line is the Nitrix Pro.

Is the Nitrix Attack 5U suitable for beginners?

It is built for intermediate players. Beginners can use it, but the head-heavy balance and 32 lbs tension ceiling reward developed swing technique. Pure beginners are better served by the Hundred Atomic X range.
