    • Taizo

      Taizo （Experience：More than 20 years） An interesting feel

      I liked FORZA's designs, but they didn't have many light rackets, so I bought the 5U the moment it came out. I expected a hard feel, but it actually has some flex, which I personally like. It's 5U, but the balance is toward the head, so the racket's flex really comes into play and gives it a unique feel. And I just love the design. Besides the color scheme, the frame has that edgy aerodynamic shape that seems to be trendy lately, and it looks cool (lol)

    • Itsutsu

      Itsutsu （Experience：2-3 years） For doubles

      The shaft is on the stiff side, so delicate play is easy, but on a strong swing it flexes properly, so smashes really carry. It's light, so maneuverability is good. In doubles it can handle both the front court and rear court, but since it's light, it might feel a bit unreliable for singles

    • Sadaharu

      Sadaharu （Experience：6-10 years） Its great maneuverability, thanks to its lightness, really shines.

      Partly because it's light, it's easy to hit with. It has some flex, and you can hit satisfying smashes that make the most of it.
      It's slightly head-heavy, so the feel is good and you can feel the weight behind your shots.
      Being light, its maneuverability is excellent too, which helps broaden your range of play.

    • Taro

      Taro （Experience：11-20 years） Ideal for power hitters.

      It's probably for intermediate and above power hitters. Because it's quite light, its maneuverability is excellent. At the same time, it's easy to control. I can also feel that it's strong enough to handle a somewhat higher tension without problems.

    • Husband

      Husband （Experience：11-20 years） Well-rounded overall.

      It has a moderate amount of flex, which is probably why you can hit shots that really carry. Smashes in particular are easy to hit. Another feature is the good maneuverability that takes advantage of its light weight. It's also easy to swing, so it's well-rounded overall. You could call it a racket that's easy for anyone to use.

    • Sugar

      Sugar It's good.

      An older friend of mine who works as a badminton coach handed it down to me. For a 5U, it swings with real solidity. This is just my personal impression, but it feels like it flexes nicely, and I really like the sensation of catching the shuttle when I smash.

    • Mattsun

      Mattsun （Experience：4-5 years） Light, yet flexes nicely

      An acquaintance gave it to me. For a 5U, the swing feels solid. This is just my personal impression, but it feels like it flexes a lot, and I like the feeling of catching the shuttle when I smash.
