    "Horizontal - A concept" expands the sweet area and the explosive acceleration force of SBZ fires the shuttle.

    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    A high-performance racket that holds the world's fastest smash record. It receives high ratings for attack-oriented play style, swing speed, and hitting feel, while there is a shared recognition that narrow sweet spots and control proficiency require advanced skill levels.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Smash speed and power increased dramatically
    • Compact frame provides excellent swing-through
    • Narrow sweet spot requires adaptation
    • Even balance offers good maneuverability
    • Ideal for aggressive doubles play
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveLightweight and easy to swing around freely. Smash shots run hard even with light swings. The shaft's flex is excellent, and the feeling of releasing all power at impact after bending maximally is addictive.
    ▽ CriticalShots off the sweet spot don't fly well, and control of soft shots like hairpins is difficult, making it challenging for intermediate and below players or female athletes.

    • Hamada

      Hamada （Experience：4-5 years） An ideal racket for anyone looking for good repulsion and easy swing.

      My impression after using this racket was that it doesn't have many quirks, and the hitting face is quite small. Because the face is small, the sweet area is narrower than on other rackets, but in exchange the shuttle rebound and swing speed are the best, and it's easy to control. It's an ideal racket for anyone looking for good repulsion and easy swing.

      daiki （Experience：6-10 years） A high-performance racket

      The clerk at the store where I bought it said it was for advanced players, but I felt even beginners could handle it. The sweet spot is slightly larger than other rackets, so it's easy to hit cleanly. Shots come off with some weight, which feels good.

    • it

      it （Experience：11-20 years） Shockingly high repulsion! The top-of-the-line NANORAY, perfected for hitting with rebound

      I'll never forget the first time I used this racket: the speed at which the shuttle rebounded went up, and my usual drives became incredibly fast. I love that rebound feel so much that I ended up buying both the old series in orange and the new lime green. Smashes feel faster too, so I think it's an easy racket to use for both singles and doubles.

      Suzuki （Experience：4-5 years） A racket for advanced players!

      I bought it for playing badminton matches. The price is a bit high, but it delivers performance that matches the price. The racket itself is very light, and you can rally with ease. It's also easy to aim, so I think it's easy to use in matches. However, because of its lightness and maneuverability, I got the impression that beginners might find it hard to master.

    • Saeco

      Saeco （Experience：4-5 years） You can fire off sharp, fast smashes one after another.

      It's a flashy color and looks cool, so it's a racket I really like. The best thing about this racket is that it significantly increases smash speed. I think it's because of the springy repulsion the NANORAY series is known for and the small racket face, which makes it even easier to swing. Thanks to that, I can now fire off sharp, fast smashes one after another.

      Sugar （Experience：4-5 years） Easy to use!

      I got a new racket to enter a singles tournament.
      Just as the online reviews said, it's light, easy to grip and very maneuverable.
      I think it's a racket better suited to experienced players and people who play in tournaments rather than first-timers.

      Mackie （Experience：6-10 years） An aggressive, great racket.

      I used to use a somewhat cheap racket, but when a teammate at my club bought a good one, I didn't want to be outdone, so I bought one too. You can really feel when you hit the sweet spot of the strings, and my shots feel sharp. It's an attacking racket, so definitely give it a try!
