    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    The racket is highly praised for its exceptional swing-through quality and maneuverability, making it ideal for doubles front-court play. However, some advanced power hitters find it insufficient, as it requires a certain level of swing speed.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Excellent swing-through and lightweight feel for high mobility
    • Short shaft enables easy response at doubles front court
    • Effective driving and pushing with strong power delivery
    • Requires sufficient swing speed for optimal performance
    • String tension should be set higher due to easy loosening
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveThe hollow design makes the 3U racket feel incredibly light when swung, with exceptional swing-through. The short, flexible shaft makes drive receives easy to execute, making it the best racket among all previously used models.
    ▽ CriticalThe swing-through is so good that the head weight becomes ineffective. For players accustomed to head-heavy rackets, the striking response lacks power, and smashes tend to float higher than desired.

      It's a racket with a lot of quirks.
      With smashes, it all comes down to how well you can put your body weight into it. If you can get your weight behind it, you'll put away brutal shots.
      For receiving, it's incredibly easy to use. However, if you're used to other rackets, hitting clears well is difficult.

      Sunshine Hazaki （Experience：6-10 years） Even balance with the best swing

      I usually string even-balance to head-heavy rackets with various strings at 27-28 lbs.
      I used the 9000C strung with No.1 and BGAB at 27 lbs.

      My honest impression: "It swings so easily that the head doesn't do any work."

      As other reviews say, it's even balance with a wind-tunnel design, so the swing is unbelievably easy.
      However, for me, since I usually use only head-heavy rackets, even for an even-balance racket it lacked that "extra push," and hard hits didn't have quite enough punch.
      Because of that, my impression was that smashes tend to float.

      That said, the swing is outstanding, so I think I can strongly recommend it to people who prefer even balance to head-light.
      The shaft isn't too stiff either, so if you can flex it, the shuttle should fly well.

      For string, if you value the feeling of the string holding the shuttle, I think BGAB is a great match.

      Nameless Badminton Club Member A wonderful racket

      My first impression was that the head is light and it swings through well. It's probably even balance, but thanks to the hollow design, it swings so well and the head is so light that you'd mistake it for head-light.
      The selling point of this racket is that the shaft is short, making it good for fast doubles rallies, and I think that's exactly right. The short shaft doesn't make clears fall short or smashes slower at all; on the contrary, mine got faster.
      However, if there's one problem, it's that the grommets are hard and the strings loosen easily.
      So I recommend stringing it about one step above your usual tension. That said, it's not like you can only use it for doubles.
      It's totally usable for singles too!
      Please buy it and feel how wonderful this racket is with your own hands!!!!
