    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    Most reviewers gave high ratings, with the racket seen as inheriting the strengths of the Nanoray series while evolving. However, its stiff and hard feel may divide preferences depending on playing style.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Solidly built with excellent overall shot control performance
    • High smash power with good shuttle energy transfer
    • Very hard ball feel makes mistakes clearly noticeable
    • Actually feels even to slightly head-heavy despite head-light designation, requires power for flexibility
    • Dated feel makes it challenging for beginners; difficult recovery when pressured
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveIt successfully inherits the strengths of the Nanoray series while evolving. Very easy to handle with just the right ball feel.
    ▽ CriticalThe racket doesn't do the work for you with an outdated feel, and it's hard to hit well without a full swing, making recovery difficult when pressed.

      I was specially able to borrow one this time. I felt it firmly carries on the good points of the previous NANORAY series while also evolving. I'd like to write more details after using it a bit longer, but the string is at 25 lbs, and I recommend black for the grip color.

      The design is cool and it's easy to use. I thought it might feel like the ASTROX 99. A really great racket

      MT （Experience：4-5 years） Tough to use, but the best smash ever

      I was curious, so I bought one.
      I've strung it with BG66 ULTIMAX at 26 lbs.
      It's listed as head-light, but it's even or slightly head-heavy.
      The shaft is about as stiff as the VZF2, and maybe because the head doesn't add much momentum, it takes a fair amount of power to make it flex.
      It's very solidly built, so control is very precise across all shots.
      The feel is quite firm. Mishits are obvious, and it's pretty hard on the wrist.
      Maneuverability is about the same as a 3U ASTROX 99, but it's hard to hit deep unless you swing properly, so it's hard to recover when you're under pressure. It's an old-school feel, where the racket doesn't do the work for you.
      For a NANORAY series racket, the repulsion is modest.
      In exchange, when I hit with my body properly set, I feel the smash is equal to or better than the VZF2.
      The end speed doesn't drop at all! The harder you hit, the more power goes into the shuttle. For example, if you smash with the VZF2 and the 95DX at the same head speed, my impression is that the 95DX puts more power into the shuttle.
      However, it's hard to get a steep angle, so until you get used to it, your shots tend to go out the back.

      I bought it online. It's very easy to handle and the feel is just right
      Shouldn't they sell this in Japan too!?
