    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its excellent maneuverability and smooth swing speed, making it ideal for aggressive play with drives and pushes. However, some users note the limited feedback on impact and its orientation toward advanced players.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Exceptional maneuverability and swing speed
    • Easy to execute drives and pushes
    • Lightweight with effective head weight
    • Perfect for aggressive play style
    • Thin impact feedback reported
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveThe outstanding maneuverability is remarkable, and despite being lightweight, the head works effectively, making receives, drives, and pushes very easy to perform. It's recommended for front-court doubles players.
    ▽ CriticalThe lack of impact feedback is a notable drawback, and it's clearly an advanced player's racket that doesn't perform well when the sweet spot is missed.

      Clan Knights Kirito (Experience:2-3 years) Good racket!!

      Even in 4U, smashes and receives work really well!
      I chose this racket for both my first and second one!
      I think it's perfect for an attacking style of play!

      Rosso (Experience:6-10 years) 4U review

      The outstanding maneuverability makes me break into a smile.
      It's light, yet the head really does its job, so receives, drives, and pushes are really easy to hit.
      Because it's light, you might not feel much solid response on smashes...
      I recommend it for front court players in doubles and defensive players in singles.

      ylnnnn 3366 (Experience:4-5 years) A lighter head-heavy racket

      These are my impressions of the 3U.
      It's a racket where the head-heavy balance isn't very noticeable.
      It has good repulsion, so drives and pushes are very easy to hit. Smashes are easy too, and I think it's fairly attack-oriented. Personally I'm not that interested in MIZUNO, but I think it's a good racket.

    • kazu

      kazu (Experience:11-20 years) An easy-to-use offensive racket!!

      These are my impressions of the 4U.
      It's slightly head-heavy, but well balanced, so drives and receives are easy.
      As for the feel, maybe because the frame is thick and the shaft is thick too, you don't really feel the shuttle making contact.
      It feels like the racket rebounds the shuttle on its own, so people who like that will love it.
      Smashes felt surprisingly ordinary: not slow, but I didn't feel they got particularly fast either.
      It's a cool-looking, black-based offensive racket that's easy to handle!

    • No Name

      No Name (Experience:6-10 years) Light for a head-heavy racket

      It's on the light side for a head-heavy racket and feels way lighter than the Z-FORCE II. It felt similar to an ASTROX. The swing is fast, like the 70 E-TUNE. It was easy to use in both doubles and singles

    • Sota

      Sota (Experience:2-3 years) My thoughts after trying the MIZUNO FORTIUS TOUR

      Its big advantages, being easy to swing and offering good control, are very appealing. However, I thought the downside is that there isn't much feel. Still, it's a well-balanced racket overall, so I think it's very easy to use.

      foo (Experience:More than 20 years)

      Been using 3u for 2 month.
      Actually even balanced and perfect for doubles.
      Frame stiffness is second to none. Therefore, it's excellent in drives and flat clear.

      It offers everything if the user has highest skill level.
      However, might perform pool in wrong hands, especially control.
