      harro 123 Easy to use!

      This racket is really easy to use, and the swing speed is the best! You can string it at high tension, and the feel is the best too. It's highly maneuverable, shots are easy to hit, and I think it's a racket that's easy to control.

    • Nakaji

      Nakaji A racket for singles

      It feels a little heavy when you hold it,
      but you hardly feel the weight when swinging overhead
      It's head-heavy, so if you hit it cleanly
      you can hit fast, heavy shots
      I tried using it in doubles,
      but the racket felt heavy when receiving,
      so using it in doubles takes strength
      It swings easily too, a wonderful racket
      Definitely give it a try

      ylnnnn 3366 (Experience:4-5 years) The model Chen Long used to use

      In a word, it's a racket with "great swing speed." I think it's a racket very much for attacking players and hard hitters. Among the rackets I've used, I'd rank it 2nd, right after the ASTROX 99. I recommend it for power players.

    • Shigeyuki

      Shigeyuki (Experience:6-10 years) Suited to power players.

      It's a racket for intermediate players and above. It's a bit stiff and also heavy, so it would probably be difficult for people without much power.
      It has little air resistance and feels easy to swing, and smashes hit properly are powerful. However, maybe because of the weight, I struggled a bit with maneuverability.

    • Tsuyoshi

      Tsuyoshi (Experience:6-10 years) A high-performance racket for intermediate and above.

      I'd say the shaft stiffness is somewhere between medium and slightly stiff. It's head-heavy, so when you hit the sweet spot, the shot goes out solid and heavy. It also seems to have little air resistance, so you can swing all the way through. It's easy to control, and you can hit shots right where you aim. However, it feels a bit heavy, so it's probably for intermediate and above.

      Shuji Excellent control

      The shaft has normal stiffness, but even if you hit pretty hard, the shuttle rarely goes long, so that's reassuring. Its biggest advantage is probably how easy it is to control. You can hit exactly where you aim. However, it isn't very light, so it took me a while to get used to it.

    • Power is needed

      Power is needed (Experience:11-20 years) Muscle

      I heard it was the new Chen Long model, the Olympic gold medalist, so I bought it. The design is incredibly cool and I'm satisfied! However, maybe because it's a singles model, it's fairly heavy and the shaft is stiff, so I struggled until I got used to it. I like the racket itself, so I guess I really need to build up my power.
