    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly rated for its aggressive performance and light shuttle responsiveness, but its hard shaft and lack of flexibility make it a racket that divides users significantly. It is suitable for advanced players and those with power and skill, with top ratings from them, while beginners and less powerful players find it difficult to handle, resulting in a polarized evaluation.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Excellent swing-through and handling
    • Hard shaft with insufficient flexibility
    • Aggressive type ideal for full power smash
    • Depends on player power and skill
    • Different performance from original Inferno
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveThe racket becomes the best with extended use. Lightweight operability allows for both powerful shots and quick responses depending on grip. Everything including drives and hairpins is excellent, and the appearance is cool.
    ▽ CriticalThe shaft is hard with absolutely no flexibility, resulting in poor ball control. If the hard shaft had a sticky feel, it would have been a masterpiece. Doesn't suit powerless players and is difficult to handle.

      Kenichi Tago （Experience：More than 20 years） Too much for me now that I've ballooned to 95 kg

      For me, it's the NANOFLARE 800
      I'll post a diet challenge video someday
      Thanks for your continued support

      O-chan （Experience：11-20 years） Not for everyone

      The people who like this racket are all-out smash players
      For attack, it is one of the best GOSEN rackets
      The swing speed and nimbleness are inherited from the original INFERNO, but the shaft has no flexibility, so the shuttle hold is pretty poor
      A stiff shaft is fine, but it is a real shame that it has no flex at all
      If they had given it a stiff yet sticky, holding feel, it would have been quite a masterpiece

      Ippan Dansei Dappun （Experience：6-10 years） Used it and crapped my pants

      The INFERNO was the best
      So they came out with a PLUS version~~~ It was expensive~~~

      If you string it loosely the drawbacks disappear, but then you feel none of the benefits that come from the racket specs

      A rock-hard, wild bronco of a racket

    • Birdak

      Birdak （Experience：4-5 years） Not great

      A racket that can do nothing but attack

      The swing speed and maneuverability are godly, carrying on from the original INFERNO

      It really suits only certain players

      If you string loosely you will hardly notice the drawbacks, but if you string at 26 lbs or higher it is extremely hard to handle

      nis （Experience：More than 20 years） The best racket right now

      I own two each of the INFERNO, EX, and PLUS. A feature of this series is that they're durable and have good maneuverability. Two of my early INFERNOs broke fairly quickly. But since then, not a single one has broken. (It seems only the early version was a different thing.)
      Here are my subjective scores...
      INFERNO: overall 9, feel only 8, everything else perfect, shots feel light
      EX: overall 8, swing 8, maneuverability 9, everything else perfect, a bit harder to react quickly, suited for singles
      PLUS: overall 10, perfect in everything. Partly because it's a bit long, depending on how you hold it, you can hit strong shots and react quickly too.
      Right after buying, my impression was that the easy-to-handle INFERNO was the best, but the more I used the PLUS, the more it became the best racket.

    • Yatterman

      Yatterman （Experience：11-20 years） Varies a lot from person to person!

      It's completely polarizing: either a great racket or a hard one to handle. One thing I can say is that it's a pure attacking racket!

    • The Way to the Top

      The Way to the Top （Experience：2-3 years） Only for skilled players

      I bought the PLUS because it looked better than the INFERNO
      When I borrowed the INFERNO and hit with it, it was super easy to hit, but when I used the PLUS I bought, the shuttle didn't go anywhere..

      I'm a bad player, but in many ways this racket showed me the difference from the INFERNO
