      Manju （Experience：11-20 years） A very head-heavy racket

      I've used both the 3U and 4U.
      It's very head-heavy, so you can hit heavy, powerful smashes. The shaft flexes, so clears go deep easily.
      Smashes are better than the ASTROX 88D or 77, but the ASTROX series swings more easily.
      The 3U is heavy and makes receiving hard in doubles, so it's best used for singles.

      The 4U is easy to maneuver and keeps up with fast exchanges, so it works for both singles and doubles. The feel and how easy it is to hit shots from above really stand out. With the 4U, attack, defense and delicate shots are all easy, so you can use it as an all-rounder.

      sleepy-panda （Experience：More than 20 years） Floppy!

      I tried a 3U for the first time in 15 years, but there was no head-heavy feel, the shaft was too soft to do what I wanted, and on receives the racket came through too early so I hit nothing but frame. Maybe because I usually swing a 3U Zsp, all I can say is that the VT80 is a soft, easy-to-hit-deep classic. As you'd expect from something bearing the VOLTRIC name, smashes are fast and heavy. On receives you can still hit deep even when jammed, and my impression is that it's a textbook attacking all-rounder.
      Right now I use a 3U Zsp or a 3U ZF for matches where I'm seriously going for winners, but on top of that, I thought I'd like to use the 80 for fun when playing quick, enjoyable rallies.

      kmt_bad13 （Experience：6-10 years） A racket with solid hitting feel

      I bought the 3U 10 years ago.
      At first, I bought it because I wanted a head-heavy racket I could hit solidly with.
      You can definitely hit solidly, but it's still a bit heavy, so my impression is that it's hard to attack aggressively off receives in doubles.
      Smashes are easy to hit.
      I think it's a racket for singles players, and if there's a 4U version, I think it would be easier to maneuver. I recommend it to people who want to hit hard from overhead.

      Bear （Experience：6-10 years） Seriously head-heavy

      I used it for doubles. I'm not particularly strong, but thanks to this racket I could hit smashes and sharp cuts without putting in that much power. There are few shops near where I live and it was hard to get hold of, but I managed to get the last one (^^)
