      Motomasa （Experience：6-10 years） Son Wan-ho's racket

      A new color was released recently, but this is a review of the old color in 3U.
      The swing speed is average, and it feels slightly head-heavy. As for shots, controlling overhead shots is very easy. Also, long drives and smashes are very easy to hit, and they feel fast even compared to the same company's BS12 and JS12. However, I didn't feel it excelled particularly in maneuverability, so I think maybe it's suited to singles?

      I use this racket when I want to fire off smash after smash in singles or doubles.

      Smashes when you hit the sweet spot just feel great.
      Also, it holds the shuttle just the right amount, so you can change the direction at the moment of impact, which is why I like it.

      Yozo （Experience：6-10 years） You can hit exactly where you aim.

      Its strength is good control. Smashes in particular are easy to aim. Partly because it's a bit stiff, the shuttle won't fly properly unless you catch it squarely in the sweet spot, so it takes a certain level of skill. However, the feel is good and you can hit heavy shots. I find fine racket handling a bit difficult.
