    "Fore clear, Receive of back" can be easily flew by "Vibe Slayer Car" which is compatible with gentle shot feeling and repulsion power.

      Yoshiki （Experience：6-10 years） Gentle feel

      It's a women's racket from the DUORA line, and when I tried hitting with it, it really felt like a typical ladies' racket! If you have trouble with your backhand, or your receives and clears don't go deep, I think you'll see a dramatic difference in how far your shots go!

      It's one of the few 4U models in the DUORA series, so it's maneuverable, and I think players who build their game from the receive will find it easy to use.
      The shaft is on the flexible side, so it doesn't suit people who live for the smash.
      Up to the intermediate level, it's a perfectly usable racket.

      This is the second racket I bought.
      I was weak on the backhand, so I chose this DUORA with its different frame shapes on each side. The feel is soft, and even as a beginner I found it quite easy to use.
      Also, I think smashes are surprisingly easy to hit.
      By the way, I used it with BG66 ULTIMAX at 22.

      Performance-wise, both the shaft and the feel are on the soft side, and to be precise, the feel differs slightly between the forehand and backhand sides.

      I thought it's a DUORA for women. When I hit with it, the feel was soft and it sent the shuttle far very easily. It's easy to swing, as you'd expect from a DUORA. The design is cute too!

      Monroe （Experience：2-3 years） For the next step

      I'm in the middle of switching from the ARCSABER 2 to two rackets, the Duo10LT and Duo6.
      For strings, I went from "BG65 TITANIUM" at 19 lbs on the ARCSABER 2 to "BG66 ULTIMAX" at 20 lbs.
      I came from volleyball and joined the badminton club in high school, and I'm finally maybe intermediate?
      But I can clearly tell the difference in how well the shuttle flies (especially on the backhand).
      Both the feel and the sound are better with these, so I think I can aim for a winning style of play.

      YUKI （Experience：4-5 years） A cheap, easy-to-use racket

      I bought it online, and the reasonable price was great. It's aimed at women, but I'm not very strong, so I appreciate that it's light with strong repulsion. The design is nice too, so it makes playing more fun. I don't think I'll be letting go of it for a while.
