    Overwhelming charisma Z. The sharpness of a blow robs points.

    User Review SummaryAI Summary

    • Smash shots feel great and deliver good power
    • Shaft flexibility and control performance are excellent
    • Sweet spot is narrow and distance is unstable
    • Hard frame and shaft cause elbow strain
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveThe satisfaction of executing clean smashes is exceptional, with excellent court control and easy aim. The shaft's flexibility enables sustained rally exchanges.
    ▽ CriticalThe sweet spot is unusually small, and shots outside it don't fly well. The feel is hollow, and the hard frame and shaft cause elbow pain with continued use.

    • Uta

      Uta （Experience：11-20 years） A racket I don't recommend

      First of all, it's head-heavy, but not that heavy. It's fairly maneuverable, and it's easy to swing.
      The sweet spot seems unusually small. If you miss the sweet spot, the shuttle doesn't go anywhere. Even if you hit the sweet spot, the explosive power isn't much.
      The feel is hollow.
      Both the frame and the shaft are stiff, and my elbow hurts every time I use it.
      It's a really poorly made racket.

      syuu 1 （Experience：More than 20 years） Classic GOSEN

      I thought this racket could be called THE GOSEN, but it was discontinued right away... orz I guess that's just the times. Top-heavy with a moderately stiff shaft. And yet, compared with a certain other company's racket, the feel when hitting the shuttle was like walking on a red carpet. There have been rackets that were just stiff before, but even someone weak like me could make the shaft flex while smashing. Also, the shocking pink that could be called this racket's trademark is sure to stand out in any gym. I think it was probably the racket that felt closest to GOSEN's masterpiece "Surume." But because of its flashy look and lack of any remarkable feature, I suppose it just wasn't appreciated by the public...

      rhmnd 531 （Experience：4-5 years） For finishing with smashes: CUSTOM EDGE Ver.2.0 TYPE-Z

      This is the CUSTOM EDGE Ver.2.0 TYPE-Z, and what I most want to recommend is how good it feels when you hit a clean smash. You can hit with a pretty loud sound. My smashes aren't that powerful, but if I aim for a spot with a jump smash, I can win the point well enough. It's also easy to aim, so I think it's a racket with good control as well. It's a bit expensive, but you can hit hard enough on smashes, drives and so on. It flies well, so I have to be careful with how hard I hit clears, but for people who want to attack again and again with smashes, I think it's great.

    • roller coaster

      roller coaster （Experience：4-5 years） A racket with both flexibility and strength that lets you hit powerful shots

      The swing has a flexible feel, so you can keep long rallies going, and the shaft is built with strength, which makes power shots easier to hit. That's the real advantage. It also has a solid feel, so my impression is that it's easy to get used to during play.
