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

      Shuichi （Experience：6-10 years） The large sweet spot is the appeal.

      The sweet spot is large and the shaft is on the flexible side, so it's easy to hit with. On top of that, it's light yet has a good feel, and you can feel some weight behind your shots. It's for beginners to intermediate players. It absorbs vibration, so it's easy to handle fast shots too. I recommend it for people who are serious about the sport.

      Check （Experience：11-20 years） Attacking hard with the NANORAY GLANZ.

      The racket I love using is the YONEX NANORAY GLANZ. The shaft is a bit on the stiff side, but that lets you hit powerful shots. It's lightweight, very easy to swing, and its maneuverability is excellent. The feel when you smash is really satisfying. I recommend it for players who attack with power.

      Yozakura （Experience：More than 20 years） The NANORAY GLANZ, with excellent power

      The NANORAY GLANZ is a racket sold by YONEX that suits intermediate badminton players. It has outstanding power, and its defining feature is very fast shot speed. The balance and swing feel are also very good, so even first-time users can master it right away.

      Sasu （Experience：6-10 years） Amazing maneuverability!

      I gave this racket, a new 2017 model, to a friend who plays badminton as a birthday present. I got to try it myself, and my impression was that its maneuverability is outstanding. Even with light force the shuttle flies far, and the racket itself is very light. The price is somewhat high, so I think it would be a waste for people who only use it for practice or club play. It is a racket I recommend for people who play in big tournaments.

      Rojin （Experience：4-5 years） An easy-to-use racket!

      Recently I wanted a new racket for competition, so I decided to buy one. It was ranked No. 1 online, and the people around me rated it highly, so I expected it to be a racket worth looking forward to this time too. My impression after using it is that it's really light. The maneuverability is good, and I don't get tired even after using it for a long time. The feel is excellent too. I think the slightly high price might be a drawback, but I think it's a racket I can strongly recommend to people who play badminton competitively.

    • Yoshio

      Yoshio （Experience：11-20 years） Recommended for doubles

      My impression after using it is that it has good repulsion, and you can hit strong shots with little effort.
      I play doubles exclusively, and when it turns into a drive exchange in doubles, I tend to end up hitting with just my arm and hitting weak shots,
      but with this racket, you can hit strong shots even in exchanges, so I recommend it.

      Yuzu （Experience：4-5 years） Easy to swing

      The racket is light, and I think it lets you really feel how easy it is to swing. In the first half of a match, you don't feel the weight of the racket no matter which one you use. But in the second half, fatigue builds up and you start to feel the racket's weight. That's when the NANORAY GLANZ really helps, because it's light.
