      Rojin （Experience：4-5 years） Good for beginners!

      I used it back when I started badminton. Now I use lots of expensive rackets I'm used to, so it doesn't feel great, but when I first started I thought it was a very easy racket to use. In the beginning there's nothing particularly wrong with it, so I think it's a racket I can recommend to first-timers.

      Sawada （Experience：4-5 years） Easy to use even for beginners!

      With YONEX's unique square frame, even beginners can catch the shuttle easily, and the racket is light, so you don't tire easily.
      I once used a round-frame racket, also from YONEX, but it didn't suit me, so I came back to this product.
      It comes in two colors, pink and blue, so it's easy for both men and women to use, and it's a favorite of mine.

      Leicester Nonomura （Experience：6-10 years） It's raised the quality of my practice

      It's a highly maneuverable racket, so it's easy to work on improving my smash accuracy in regular practice, and I find it very useful. It combines both durability and functionality, and its reasonable price is another point in its favor.

      Tamago Mama （Experience：6-10 years） Perfect as a practice racket

      I use the MUSCLE POWER 8 as my practice racket. The main and cross string lengths are equalized, so it's easy to hit with, and it puts no strain on the wrist, so it's easy to control. It's the perfect racket for practice, so I use it regularly.

    • Tonami Marina Goro

      Tonami Marina Goro （Experience：6-10 years） You hardly feel any air resistance

      There's little air resistance, and I like that you can hit smashes freely. The grip also feels good and fits my hand early on after starting to use it. The price is a bit high, but it's durable, so I'm happy that I can use it for a long time.

      Sasuke Junior （Experience：6-10 years） High maneuverability is the appeal

      It's a racket with excellent durability that delivers stable maneuverability over the mid term. It's been very helpful in improving my badminton performance and skills. The reasonable, affordable price is also reassuring.

      Toma （Experience：Less than a year） About the YONEX MUSCLE POWER

      It's heavy and the shaft is on the stiff side, so I think it's a badminton racket that's perfect for hard hitters. Its appeal is that you can buy it very cheaply, and although its durability is a bit low, I thought it might be the best racket for practice.
