    The light head improves the swing and the shaft's "X fullerene" easily fly.

      Yoshiki （Experience：6-10 years） A first racket

      I think it's the racket you'd want to choose when buying your first racket. The shaft is flexible and turns a little force into a lot of power, so I think it's a racket a wide range of people can use, from those who've just started to intermediate players who aren't confident in their strength.

      This is a racket I'd like people trying the NANORAY series for the first time, or people about to start badminton and choosing a racket, to consider as one of their options.

    • Middle School Student

      Middle School Student （Experience：2-3 years） Easy to receive with

      Even though this racket is 3U,
      it's head-light, so it doesn't feel heavy and I don't get tired even using it for a long time
      The shaft is flexible, so it's easy to clear and receive all the way to the back. However, because it's head-light, I felt it was a bit lacking when it comes to attacking.

      Who I'd recommend it to:
      people who aren't confident in their strength, people who like head-light rackets, and people who like rackets with good maneuverability. I can't recommend it to people who like head-heavy rackets

    • Shirasawa Amuro

      Shirasawa Amuro （Experience：6-10 years） You can hit smooth smashes

      It makes high-speed smashes easy to hit, and I can use it comfortably as a racket that sets up smart shots. The stringing is very careful, and it's durable, which also gave me confidence in it.

    • Komiyama Shinichi

      Komiyama Shinichi （Experience：6-10 years） Smooth transitions between offense and defense

      Because it's a racket with excellent durability and functionality, it's good enough not just for practice but also for real matches. It's easy to drive smashes in from various angles, so I find it very useful as a practice racket for building an aggressive playing style.

    • Yumi

      Yumi （Experience：6-10 years） YONEX rackets are light.

      I'm currently using a YONEX racket. YONEX rackets are light and easy to do practice swings with. The NR170−207 is quite durable, and I like that the racket feels solid even without putting much force into it.

    • Anpaman

      Anpaman Perfect for beginners! NANORAY 170

      It's light overall, so even people without much strength can swing it hard and sharply. It's made of carbon, so it's a strong product too. I recommend it for beginners, and even more so for front-court doubles players. The price is reasonable as well. It's a popular product among badminton players, and I can see why from my own experience.
