Zuka （Experience：More than 20 years） For lower elementary grades, this is plenty.

Bought as a racket for my daughter in 3rd grade.
She had been practicing with her older sister's hand-me-down (MUSCLE POWER 7), but since her form has gotten much better,
we stepped up just a little.
Compared to before, the racket is lighter, so she can keep up with faster shots, and the shaft is soft, so
I think even a child without much strength can send the shuttle far without breaking her form.
(Both parents are experienced players, and we can tell it's a good, quirk-free racket even when adults use it)
"Long shaft" and "famous player models" were also very appealing, but we'll save those for when she gets better.

mochi （Experience：2-3 years） If your kid is starting badminton, this is the one

It's cheaper than the pre-strung aluminum-frame rackets sold at sporting goods stores, yet it performs well.
I think for kids from kindergarten to the lower grades of elementary school starting badminton, this is enough to begin with.
The shaft is very flexible, so the shuttle flies well even without much power.
However, since the balance is almost even,
for girls with less strength, the NANOFLARE 200 or 300 may be lighter to swing and easier to use. You really notice the difference when repeating the pronation motion in drive practice and so on.

The NANOFLARE JUNIOR has a thin grip, so it's good to adjust it with grip tape or cushion tape to suit the size of your child's hand.

It has good maneuverability and makes it easy to hit the shuttle deep, so it's a racket I'd recommend for everyone from beginners to advanced players.

Hoshino （Experience：4-5 years）

When I held it, I thought it might be a bit heavy, but it swings easily, and with this performance at this price, I'm thinking of buying another one. The feel is on the stiff side and the impact sound is a bit high-pitched, so if that doesn't bother you, it's worth buying!
