Kerolin (Experience:6-10 years) A standard carbon racket

I used to own this one. It was reasonably priced and easy to use.
A 4U with even balance, it's a truly standard racket by today's standards. Maneuverability is what you'd call "average." It's not heavy, and not especially light either. The swing is average too.
The feel is "soft," but it doesn't feel flimsy. Control isn't bad either. The shaft is basically on the flexible side, so there's nothing difficult about it, making it ideal for beginners up to novice players. The shuttle seems to fly farther if you string it a bit loose and swing lightly, so I can recommend it to women too. The racket helps you out. That's why it isn't suited to power players with fast swing speeds. Smashes in particular just don't come down steeply.
It's good as a first racket; buy this, and once you get better, you can choose from all sorts of rackets. For men who are defensive or control-type players with slower swing speeds, and for women regardless of playing style, I think you could use it for a long time up to around intermediate level.Overall Swing Maneuverability Control Touch

Lipton The frame is really sturdy

The grip is G5, so it's generally quite easy to handle, and it felt natural in my hand right away. I bumped it a bit right after buying it, but the frame didn't warp at all and I could keep using it, which is reassuring. The frame is fairly large too, so it's easy to hit the sweet spot, and it was nice to use.

I'd gotten bored with the first racket I bought, so I bought this one, which was recommended as a racket for intermediate players. Compared to other rackets, the frame size seems large, and it's quite fun hitting the sweet spot.

Compared with other rackets, the frame size is large, so the wide sweet area is appealing. With its solid hitting feel, you can easily feel your power increase, which makes it a lot of fun. It's a racket I highly recommend for intermediate players.

Magokoro (Experience:2-3 years) A racket that supports intermediate players in stepping up.

The frame size is made a little larger than others, so its feature is a wide sweet area. That lets you hit the shuttle solidly, and I think it's the ideal racket for intermediate players looking to step up further.

This racket's frame size is on the large side, so its feature is a wide sweet area. It's easy to hit the shuttle cleanly, so it's easy to use. The frame is also light, and I think it's nice that your hand doesn't tire easily holding it. It's not very well known, but it's a racket I can recommend.

Rock (Experience:6-10 years) A racket with a soft shaft that uses its flex to send the shuttle far
-
2018/04/12
It's a 4U even balance racket, so there's nothing special about its maneuverability or swing.
The shaft is soft and the face is large, so even people with a slow swing speed can easily send the shuttle far. I think receives in particular are easy.
I don't think it suits extreme hard hitters, but it's a racket I'd recommend to a wide range of players, such as people who prefer a soft feel or beginners whose clears don't reach the back.Overall Swing Maneuverability Control Touch
