    User Review SummaryAI Summary

    • Lightweight design accommodates both beginners and advanced players
    • Outstanding backhand performance with increased distance
    • Combines operability and power with minimal fatigue

    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveWell-balanced racket with no quirks and light weight for excellent maneuverability. Particularly strong backhand swing-through and easy overhead shots make it a versatile all-around racket.
    ▽ CriticalThe firm shaft may be unsuitable for beginners who cannot fully swing. Additionally, differing feel between forehand and backhand sides may be difficult for those unfamiliar with the distinction.

      Poko （Experience：11-20 years） Just the racket I was looking for.

      I was looking for a racket that suits me and bought this online to try it out.
      I mainly play doubles and had been using head-heavy rackets until now. But my play was often affected by how I felt physically, and I wanted to improve my maneuverability at the net, so I chose this racket. This racket is light and balances maneuverability with power. It has no quirks that make it depend on how you feel that day, so I can consistently play at my level. It has the image of being for women or people without much strength, but that's not all. It brings out the true ability of strong men as well. I don't think it's a racket that stands out much yet, but it's good, this one.

      Elsa （Experience：4-5 years） Well balanced

      I felt it's a really easy-to-use racket with good balance!!
      The swing on the backhand side is especially good. Also, since it's an even balance leaning toward the head, overhead shots are easy to hit too. It's light as well, so maneuverability for drives and smash receives is good.
      In short!!......
      it can do everything.

      Anyway, it's not a hard racket to use and it has no quirks, so if you're unsure, I think it's worth giving it a try!!!!!!

      It's so easy to swing that it's hard to believe it's an even balance racket, and I felt my swing speed became quite a bit faster. Smashes are easy to hit too. I used to be weak on the backhand, but since switching to the DUORA I can hit it much deeper. The control is good too. And simply put, the design is really cool!

      It swings easily and the feel is solid, so my impression is that you can hit solid smashes. Also, once you get used to it, the maneuverability is quite good, so you don't tire easily even in long rallies; personally I find it easy to use.

      Koron （Experience：More than 20 years） A racket with great overall balance

      I've been playing badminton for 40 years, starting with the CARBONEX 3, and have used many rackets. Until recently I used the DUORA 10, but I switched to the DUORA 10LT. The DUORA 10 had good balance too, but switching to the LT made maneuvering even easier. The balance is even so it's easy to use, but the shaft is on the stiff side, so I don't think it suits beginners who can't swing through properly. Also, the feel differs between the two faces of the racket, so if you can't tell the difference, you're better off not using a DUORA.

      Arufa （Experience：2-3 years） Soft feel, well-balanced racket

      I had a tournament coming up and was going to play doubles, but I only had a singles-oriented racket. I'd wanted this one for a while, and it happened to be a doubles-oriented racket, so I bought it. It really is easy to use, and I got used to it right away. This is just my personal impression, but I found backhands, drops, and clears easy to hit. One thing to note: there's a spot where "FOREHAND" is written in English, and you have to hold it according to that. (Apparently because otherwise it can break.) Also, the fun thing about this racket is that the color looks like it changes when you rotate it. (Please see it with your own eyes for details.) Lastly, sorry this got long, but it's a really easy-to-use racket, so please give it a try.

      Hina （Experience：2-3 years） I think the balance is just right.

      The racket itself is a 4U even balance, and it feels neither light nor heavy. Because of that, it's easy to swing and extremely easy to control. It's well balanced overall, and personally I like it. However, backhands travel farther than expected, so it may take some effort until you get used to it. Once you're used to it, I'm sure it'll be an easy racket to use.
