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

      Pyon-chan （Experience：6-10 years） A racket whose strength is power

      The YONEX NANORAY GLANZ is a racket that sends the shuttle far even when I, a woman, use it. You can feel the power on any shot. I feel like a strong man using it could hit amazing smashes. It's a racket worth trying at least once.

      Futchi （Experience：6-10 years） An easy-to-use carbon racket

      I was in the badminton club in junior high and high school, then didn't play at all for a long time, but 8 years ago I joined a sports club again. Since my school days I've stuck with "YONEX" for rackets. This time I replaced my racket and bought the "NANORAY GLANZ". It was fairly expensive, but when I actually used it, the carbon body is extremely light and I don't get very tired even in long rallies. I can hit the shuttle solidly, and controlling my shots is no problem. The grip fits my hand perfectly too, and I really like it.

    • The shuttle is my friend

      The shuttle is my friend （Experience：4-5 years） Super easy to use!

      I borrowed the racket my doubles partner was using and tried it out, and I think the feel, which lets you hit strong shots even with light force, is excellent. It's very light because it uses top-grade carbon called "REXIL FIBER". I think it also helps reduce fatigue in the latter half of a match.

    • canvas

      canvas （Experience：4-5 years） A racket with noticeable repulsion and a distinctive flex

      It's specialized in flex and repulsion, and my impression is that it's a model that makes power smashes easy. The feel is just right, and one feature I like is its balanced weight that lets you react instantly.

      Mikan （Experience：4-5 years） A racket specialized for distance!

      Since I started using the NANORAY GLANZ, even someone with little power like me can send the shuttle a long way, so I think it's a racket specialized for distance.
      My old worry about not being able to hit the shuttle where I wanted has vanished as if it never existed, and I can now swing quickly even on my backhand, which used to be my weak point.
