    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    This racket earns high praise from advanced players due to its lightweight design combined with head-heavy construction, delivering excellent swing speed and control for drive rallies and finesse shots. However, users need an adjustment period as the lightness tends to cause shuttles to float initially.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Lightweight with faster swing speed enabling quick recovery
    • Excellent for technical shots like drives, feints, and drops
    • Reduces fatigue with superior maneuverability in extended rallies
    • Suitable for both beginners learning fundamentals and advanced players
    • Requires adjustment period as initial lightness causes floating
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveSwinging multiple times without fatigue, swing speed definitely increases and smashes become faster. In drive rallies, this racket gives you the advantage, and it feels like the racket becomes one with your arm.
    ▽ CriticalBeing too light can cause mishits and initial floating, particularly with smashes until you adapt. At lower tensions like 21lbs, the strings dig in too much, reducing flight distance.

      Rintoru （Experience：Less than a year） Excellent for a 4th grader!

      A nearby shop told me that if it's too light the shuttle won't fly, or it'll wear out quickly, so I hesitated to buy it, but I had a chance to borrow one and try it.
      As a result, it was supple and extremely easy for a child to use, so I bought it. The shaft flexes from close to the grip, so the shuttle flies really well even without much power. The thin grip is also a plus. When a smash hits a good spot, it comes back at a speed you wouldn't believe from a 4th grader. Also, it's quite light, so more often than not my child can get to shuttles even when they go to tough spots.
      Looking at the whole package, not just heavy or light, but how the shaft flexes and where it bends, the string specs and tension, it was an excellent match for my child.
      I just join in practice at the youth sports club, but it's good enough that I want to switch to this racket myself. It has an appeal that the big brands don't, so I think it's worth considering!

    • Yasunori

      Yasunori （Experience：6-10 years） Makes you more conscious of game-making

      ■How I use it
      Using it since 2022/01 at 23 lbs.
      Bought a second one.

      ■Compared to 4U rackets
      - Short and mid-range shots: ○. Long shots are easy to hit deep, but fine adjustment is hard.
      - Easy to respond when you misread or in unexpected situations.
      - Easy to add feints and vertical or horizontal angles.
      - Hard to generate smash power.

      ■Who it suits
      Can rally
      Uses receives as a starting point for attack
      Mixes in hairpins and feints during rallies
      Doesn't finish points with smashes
      Comes up with lots of ideas

      ■Why I use it
      What you can and can't do is clear-cut, so I hit blindly depending on my form less often.
      It has good points like these:

      You understand the importance of a light racket
      You become more conscious of rotation
      You become more conscious of head weight
      You start thinking about what happens when your smash gets returned

      I don't recommend it for beginners. On the other hand, being able to win with this is a plus as a competitor, I think.

      Hoshino （Experience：4-5 years）

      I think it's a very light and easy-to-use racket. I could play without any mistakes during matches, which was great. But because it's so light, I sometimes whiffed.

    • High School Boy

      High School Boy （Experience：2-3 years） Awesome

      Drive
      Super easy. With swing speed and lightness like nothing I've used before, it whips around. Forehand and backhand are both effortless
      Drops and cuts are no problem either
      It's light, so until you get used to it your shots float
      Lob
      These fly really easily too. Depending on how much force you use, they can easily go out the back, so be careful
      Clear
      This is the most amazing part. They fly easily with just a quick impact. If you hold your shot before hitting, you can toy with your opponent
      With smashes, since it's light, they'll definitely float until you get used to it. Once you're used to it you can generate speed, so it's awesome

      Hoho （Experience：4-5 years） Easy to use and great! But....

      It's a demo racket, so I didn't enter a purchase price.

      Demo racket
      It had an overgrip and was at 21 lbs.

      My impression after hitting: 21 lbs was too loose for me.
      The shuttle sank into the strings too much and didn't fly, and smashes got absorbed too much and slowed down.
      So since you can string it up to 23 if you buy it, I felt it would be good to use a thick string for more rebound.

      Even if you smash with a heavy racket, it gets returned, and your swing speed drops as the match goes on.
      Also, the closer you get to advanced level, the less you get to smash so easily, and most rallies turn into drive battles, so this racket's maneuverability is a real threat.

      However, the biggest problem is that if you buy this racket, you need to own two or more, because if you ever have to borrow one from a friend, they'll probably only have 3U or 4U, so I think you need at least two

      Hoho （Experience：4-5 years） For kids and adults alike

      This review is based on a demo racket I borrowed.

      It was at 21 lbs, so when I swung as usual on receives, I couldn't get the shuttle to the back.
      Once I reminded myself it was strung looser than mine, I got used to it and could easily hit to the back.

      It's listed as 9UG6, but it's not too light;
      maybe because it's head-heavy, it has a bit of weight, so I could swing all out without worrying it might break.

      Swing speed definitely goes up, so your smashes get faster.
      Plus, it's light, so you're ready for the next shot sooner.

      Even if you hit as hard as you can with a heavy racket, the more advanced your opponents, the more they'll drop it in front or receive it easily.
      Also, you rarely get a chance to smash, and most rallies turn into drive battles.

      It's hard to get tired no matter how many times you swing, so in drive battles you'll have the advantage.
      It's very easy to use.

      Drops and cuts go where I aim as if the racket were part of my hand, and my serves didn't float either.

      I thought, so this is what it means to become one with your racket.
