    "Rubber metal" at the corners of the frame precisely conveys the play of "Super HMG" to the shuttle.

      kazu （Experience：11-20 years） An attack-oriented all-round racket!!

      I used the CARBONEX 20, 23 and 30 in my student days, so I bought this wondering what the latest CARBONEX would be like.

      Anyone who's used them will understand, but it feels pretty much the same as the CARBONEX 30.
      (Slightly head-heavy, with a moderately stiff shaft.)
      That said, I think the repulsion is better than the older CARBONEX models.

      Also, smashes feel really great when you hit the sweet spot!!

      Basically I think it's a racket for experienced advanced players, but the overall balance is very good, so I highly recommend it to students, beginners and anyone who wants to clean up their form!!
      If you build your fundamentals with this racket and then use a Z-series racket, wouldn't you be able to compete at a fairly advanced level?

      I use it as a backup for my Z-series racket and when I want to review my form and fundamentals.
      I think it's a racket anyone could stand to own one of!!

      The frame is egg-shaped, so I wondered if the sweet spot might be a bit narrow, but if you can catch the shuttle properly on the sweet spot, the shots feel great.

      Anelka （Experience：11-20 years） Trying out the YONEX CARBONEX 50

      I think the YONEX CARBONEX 50 is a very well-balanced racket. In other words, whether you're a power hitter who smashes hard all the time or a player whose weapon is control shots, it's easy to use for both, and the shuttle flies true after you hit it.

    • Impressions of Yonex Carbonex 50

      Impressions of Yonex Carbonex 50 （Experience：4-5 years） My thoughts on the YONEX CARBONEX 50

      The frame is round, so shots have a solid response, which is fun. Super HMG is used on the sides of the frame and there's Gum Metal in the four corners, so energy is transferred to the shuttle accurately. It's a fun racket to use.

      toto （Experience：More than 20 years） My review of the CARBONEX 50

      The CARBONEX 50 is from one of YONEX's oldest badminton series, and I think it's one of their long-selling rackets. It has no quirks, so the shuttle flies in a natural way, and I think it can be used by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced.

    • Oboro

      Oboro （Experience：4-5 years） A racket for experienced power hitters

      I felt this racket has an excellent feel and repulsion when you hit through the shuttle.
      It's especially reassuring for players who use a lot of jump smashes and clears from the back line.
      The response when controlling shots is very direct, so it's easy to keep attacks going when you're on the offensive, which I liked.
      If I had to name something to watch out for, I'd say it isn't suited to beginners.
      I think it's ideal for power hitters who have started to be able to control the shuttle.

      Umeko （Experience：6-10 years） A racket you can use for practice too

      The YONEX CARBONEX 50 has a good feel and transfers power accurately to the shuttle. At 20,000 yen it isn't crazy expensive either, so I mainly use it for practice. I also like the calm black color scheme.
