      kazu （Experience：11-20 years） Hard-to-describe feel.

      These are my impressions of the 4U.
      The first thing I want to say is that it's not a bad racket.
      In use, the maneuverability isn't particularly good, and the swing might be good, but there are plenty of better rackets, so it's hard to say.
      I also use the TOUR and TOUR V; the TOUR makes drives and receives easier, and I think the V lets you hit attacking shots more consistently, so if you ask me what's good about the F, it's hard to say.
      However, there aren't any shots that are especially hard to hit, so if you like head-heavy rackets and want to control the shuttle consistently, it might be worth recommending.
      By the way, it's head-heavy but not overly so, and the shaft isn't too stiff either.

      I chose this racket partly because Hayakawa, Setiawan and Ahsan also use it.
      Also because I personally like MIZUNO, lol

      Among the many rackets from other manufacturers on sale, if you hold this one you'll clearly notice the shaft is thick.
      The frame is also thick and solid.

      I was originally using a racket with a thin, flexible shaft, so this was the complete opposite, but when I did basic drills I could hit without much awkwardness.
      On overhead shots like smashes, it swings so well you don't even notice the thick shaft.
      On drives, even though it's head-heavy, it's not heavy and I wasn't late on my swing.
      If anything, it's a racket you can push forward with.

      For receiving, since I'd been using a flexible racket, hitting with that same feel doesn't send the shuttle far, which shows me how much the shaft had been helping me until now (^_^;)
      So you need to use your feet properly and not hit with just your arm.
      If you do that, it won't fly much, so it's ideal for people who want to level up!

      Once you get used to it, you can return receives very easily, and my control has improved.
      The moment I return a shot it feels great, and I'm satisfied!

    • Akito

      Akito （Experience：11-20 years） The FORTIUS TOUR has the best feel.

      I wanted to hit more powerful shots, so I bought the MIZUNO FORTIUS TOUR. The shaft is on the stiff side and gives solid repulsion, so I can hit with everything I've got. I'm the type who overpowers with strength, so it feels just right. The feel is the best too.

    • Shinichi

      Shinichi （Experience：6-10 years） Ideal for power hitters.

      My impression is that it's a bit hard to handle until you get used to it, but when you hit the sweet spot properly, you feel surprising extension and weight on the shot. The face is a bit large, which felt odd at first, but I also see the advantage that it's easy to return shots.
      It feels a bit stiff, so it doesn't seem to be for beginners. It's probably for players who overpower opponents with strength. It's fine even if you hit it pretty hard.

    • Yukina

      Yukina （Experience：2-3 years） An ultra-offensive racket.

      It's a racket for hard hitters who want power smashes. Not just the power of the smash, but also the strong swing and control performance make it a reliable ally for anyone who likes the "offense is the best defense" style of play.

      Badminton lover （Experience：6-10 years）

      I was interested in MIZUNO rackets and bought this because it's head-heavy, but
      it doesn't seem to carry that much weight
      Compared to the TOUR, maybe because the shaft near the head is thicker, the swing just feels heavy to me

      But the shaft isn't rock-hard, so
      I thought it might be easier to handle than the various head-heavy rackets out there!
