    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    Praised for its unique combination of a soft shaft with a hard-feel striking sensation and the ability to generate powerful shots with minimal effort. Widely supported by beginners to advanced players, though control performance varies slightly by individual.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Soft shaft with unexpectedly firm feel
    • Generates powerful shots with minimal effort
    • Excellent swing-through and maneuverability
    • User-friendly for beginners and women
    • Unique feel makes directional placement easier
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveDespite its soft shaft, it delivers a crisp, hard-hitting sensation with excellent head acceleration and smooth swing-through. It flies well, controls effectively, and offers satisfying sharpness without drawbacks.
    ▽ CriticalTakes some adjustment for control before shots feel properly restrained. Players with fast swing speeds may experience smashes floating when swinging at full power.

    • Sandopan

      Sandopan （Experience：11-20 years） A racket that lets you really feel the flex!

      It flexes a lot!
      Because of that, I think it's hard to use for people who like stiff shafts, but
      since the shaft flexes, a smash hit at 80% becomes as fast as a full-power smash, and since you don't have to tense up, I think you get more sharpness too!!
      I own nearly 30 rackets, and this is the one I use when I'm playing for real!

    • Kaga Hyakumangoku

      Kaga Hyakumangoku （Experience：4-5 years） Solid feel for a so-called head-light racket

      I bought the 4U5.
      ① I'd heard it was head-light, but the one I got has a swing weight of 83
      (head-heavy), so the head works surprisingly well on overhead shots.
      ② For a flexible shaft, it has a surprisingly solid feel too.
      The feel is unique, and the first time I hit with it, my lobs and clears flew too far and I kept hitting them out the back, but once I got used to it, it's easy to swing and easy to place the shuttle where I aim.
      I think it's for people who value maneuverability but don't want to sacrifice smash power.

    • Kerolin

      Kerolin （Experience：6-10 years） A softer racket, but with an interesting feel and easy to use

      I think it is a racket with a slightly flexible shaft and a touch head-light, but it has an unusual feel. It flexes properly, yet it feels harder than you would expect, which is a little hard to explain. Maybe the image is that it has sharpness close to a slightly stiff racket, but without stressing your elbow. I think this is probably because the frame is very rigid compared to how flexible the shaft is. It also seems easy to put the shuttle where you want it. The head cuts through the air well, and swinging it feels great. It flies well, controls well, and is moderately sharp, so there is nothing bad about it. However, since it flexes a lot for such a sharp feel, if someone with a fast swing goes "full swing", their smashes float up to a comical degree. I think it is ideal for players whose style is solid defense and carefully attacking the corners.

    • Yatterman

      Yatterman （Experience：11-20 years） The softness of this shaft

      is similar to the Babolat 6.5 ESSENTIAL. A compact stroke produces more power than a big swing. It's a racket whose handling changes with the string type and tension. Easier to control than the Babolat (I'm originally a GOSEN user).

    • Racket benkei

      Racket benkei （Experience：6-10 years） Don't underestimate it just because the shaft is soft

      There's the INFERNO, INFERNO PLUS, INFERNO EX and so on
      but this is the one that lets you hit strong shots with the least effort
      After a few years of playing, everyone tends to get fixated on expensive rackets
      but this one is good
      If you're using expensive rackets like the ASTROX 88 or NANOFLARE, try this once
      It'll change how you think
      I used to be fixated on expensive rackets too
      but I realized a racket that matches your level suits you best

    • Yuichi

      Yuichi （Experience：6-10 years） The shuttle flies easily.

      It has a flexible shaft and the shuttle flies well, so I think it's easy to use for beginners and women too. Also, the face is large, so it's easy to pick up shots and gives a sense of security. The feel is good and you can hit heavy shots. However, until I got used to it, I felt it was a bit hard to keep shots down.

    • Yoshio

      Yoshio （Experience：6-10 years） A great feel is its weapon

      The shaft is on the flexible side and the face is fairly large, so the flight is stable, and it seems perfectly usable even for people who aren't very strong, such as women. Its biggest feature is its great feel. You can hit solid, heavy shots without swinging hard. Swing speed is decent too, and my smashes have become more powerful.
