    In the highest level carbon material "Lexil fiber" and "torque power theory", skip all shots greatly.

      ylnnnn 3366 （Experience：4-5 years） Doesn't fly~

      This is my review of the 4U.
      Personally, I found this racket hard to use.
      The shuttle flies easily off it and it's incredibly easy to swing, but it just didn't suit my style at all. I wouldn't recommend it to young male players.

      Satoyan （Experience：6-10 years） Shaft flex

      The catalog specs say the shaft is medium, but when I used it, it felt a bit on the soft side.
      Clears fly well, and I can hit lobs nice and high.
      It leans head-heavy, so I think smashes have power too.
      I think it's the easiest racket to use of all the ones I've tried.

      Hoshino （Experience：4-5 years）

      It's easy to control the shuttle. Of course, using this racket won't automatically improve your control, but the feel is quite soft, and my impression was that its control performance is by far the best of the NANORAY series so far.

    • Badminton Uncle

      Badminton Uncle Easy on the shoulder

      It swings nicely, and the shuttle flies quite far with just a light swing. It puts no strain at all on my shoulder, so I really like it. The string is CYBER NATURAL, which is on the soft side, so the feel is very soft.

      haruru （Experience：Less than a year） A racket that doesn't tire you out

      The control is very good and you can send the shuttle far with ease, so it's a racket that doesn't tire you out.

    • Bella

      Bella （Experience：6-10 years） Light and easy to control!!

      The racket I used before felt a little heavy and was hard to control, so I switched to the YONEX NANORAY GLANZ. Since I started using this racket, control has become easier and I can return the shuttle exactly where I want. It's light, so I recommend it for women.

      Kazuya （Experience：6-10 years） I'm playing aggressive matches with the NANORAY GLANZ.

      I wanted to hit more power shots, so I switched to the YONEX NANORAY GLANZ. In actual use, the shaft is on the stiff side so you can really hit through the shuttle, and the feel has improved. The high repulsion raised my shuttle speed, and I've been able to play more aggressively. It's lightweight, so my swing speed has gone up too.
