    Ultra thin and thin. The thinnest and finest dominates the air.

    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    Highly praised for its lightweight construction and excellent swing-through performance, with minimized air resistance. Appreciated by all levels but may feel insufficient for advanced players seeking raw power.

    • Surprisingly light weight for a 3U with exceptional swing-through
    • Reduced air resistance via thin shaft and lightweight frame design
    • No quirks, user-friendly from beginners to intermediate players
    • Even balance provides excellent maneuverability
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveImpressively light for a 3U racket with outstanding swing-through capability. Its lack of quirks and natural feel make it the most user-friendly in the CustomEdge line.
    ▽ CriticalPlayers seeking power may find it inadequate. Discontinuation of this model is regrettable.

      KingYo （Experience：6-10 years） Truly orthodox

      I like GOSEN rackets, and I've used six: the GUNGNIR ALPHA, CUSTOM EDGE TYPE-V2 and TYPE-N (which I've since let go), the CUSTOM EDGE TYPE-K that I'm still using, and the GRAVITAS 8 and 9.

      These days I prefer power-type rackets, so I've let it go, but when I was using it, it was truly quirk-free and easy to use.
      It's even balance with a soft-ish shaft, so people looking for power will probably find it lacking, but even though it's 3U it isn't heavy, the swing is really good and maneuverability is good too, so as long as you're not after power, I think it's a racket that appeals to everyone.

      Kaga Hyakumangoku （Experience：4-5 years） Light and easy to handle.

      It's so light and easy to swing that you wonder, is this really 3U? I usually use other 4U head-heavy rackets as my main ones, and this is lighter than those!
      It has no quirks and is easy to use, so I think it's number one for ease of use in the CUSTOM EDGE series. The only pity is that it's been discontinued.
      The successor seems to be the GUNGNIR, and I'd like to try it if I get the chance.

    • Nariyuki Badminton Papana

      Nariyuki Badminton Papana It's a shame this racket is discontinued…

      I was using GOSEN's GUNGNIR 05A as my main racket, but it broke the other day…

      I'm short on money, so I couldn't afford a new model, and while I was looking for a main racket among older models, I found the CUSTOM EDGE TYPE-N and bought it.

      The shaft is a bit stiffer than the GUNGNIR 05A, and it's not head-heavy like the original INFERNO, so even with a similar flex, the head speed feels faster than the INFERNO.

      To compare with YONEX, the CUSTOM EDGE TYPE-N has the nimbleness of something like the 88S for front-court doubles play, yet it can also hit powerful shots, and I find it easy to use.

      The GUNGNIR 05A is on the flexible side, so it's not great at powerful shots you feel all the way to your hand, but the CUSTOM EDGE TYPE-N is 3U and about 5g heavier, so I could really feel that the same person with a similar swing now hits shots that carry further.

      Even as an older model it holds up just fine, and it's like an even-balance version of the original INFERNO, so I think it's easy to use.

    • Tanaka

      Tanaka （Experience：2-3 years） Only used it for 4 days, but…

      Unlike other rackets, GOSEN rackets have really rigid shafts, but this one isn't that stiff and flexes properly.
      And the swing speed, as you can probably guess without me saying it, is amazing.
      How should I put it, there's no wasted weight trailing along when you swing… lol
      Anyway, its strong points are that it's light and swings really well.
      But I haven't used it much yet, so I'm a bit concerned about durability.

      Mirin （Experience：6-10 years） It's not just light

      This racket is very light and easy to swing, but it's not just light: the racket itself is also quite slim and thin. You can unleash shots with a feeling like you're slicing through the wind, which makes for fast-paced play.

    • Purple Orb

      Purple Orb （Experience：4-5 years） A model with a slim frame for an even better swing feel

      It's a model designed to reduce air resistance during the swing, and its big feature is the slim finish on the frame. With less resistance, I got the impression that there's less recoil when swinging, and I've become able to hit serves with speed in mind.

      syu （Experience：4-5 years） A very easy racket to swing

      Compared to others, this racket feels quite a bit thinner.
      Its swing performance is excellent, and you can feel it slicing through the air.
      Yet the feel on contact still comes through clearly to your hand, so it's a high-performance racket that lets you hit where you aim.
