NO.1 Badminton review site

I had just taken up badminton again after a long break, and with my body moving poorly I just wanted to keep rallies going first, and this was the perfect racket for me.
Here are my impressions after using it.
- Receive, hairpin: Even when my body isn't in position, it feels like the racket corrects the shuttle's course for me.
- Push, drive: Maybe because it holds the shuttle for a long time, it's easy to control (without having to use your knees or body to keep the shuttle down).
- Overhead shots: It's easy to swing, so drops and cuts are easy to hit. On the other hand, it's a bit weak at driving smashes deep, and getting an angle takes a bit of a knack.

With its flexible shaft plus good hold and easy swing, I thought it's a racket that excels at controlling the shuttle's course on many shots. When my body couldn't keep up, these characteristics helped me a lot and I was able to sustain long rallies.

Bought with stringing included, using an ambassador code

Both balance and stiffness are even, and it's an honor-student racket with no extreme traits (like metallic repulsion or explosive grip on the shuttle).

With 4U and even balance, maneuverability is good. The shape isn't specialized for swing speed, but it still swings fairly easily, and my impression is that it doesn't feel sluggish. The feel has no unpleasant vibration at all, so it's a pleasure to hit. As you'd expect from a golf shaft manufacturer.

As you'd expect from something marketed for control, it's easy to control, and personally I felt how easy it makes smash receives is outstanding. Even when a shot looks like it'll go out the back, the perfect stiffness and the way the head works let you adjust and keep it in.

It's not a power type, so I think explosive smashes are hard to hit, but things like half smashes aimed at a specific spot are very easy.
I think it's a well-balanced masterpiece. The value for money is amazing.

First of all, the standout feature of this racket is definitely its value for money. I think it's amazing that they can offer a racket of this quality in the mid-10,000 yen range.
As for how it feels, I think it's a control-focused racket, just as the concept says. Lobs, clears, hairpins and so on are quite stable. Also, although it's a 4U even-balance design, it's much lighter and easier to swing than other rackets with similar performance, so it's easy to use for drives and pushes too.
However, because it's so light, it didn't seem suited to play where you hammer down heavy smashes. So, as the name suggests, I think it's a racket suited to singles players who break down opponents with control. Personally I also thought it'd be easy to use in the front court in doubles.
