    Rule the game with the fastest touch from an ultra-thin, razor-sharp frame. A lightweight, swing-speed model. Sonic Flare System TORAYCA® M40X The world standard: ISOMETRIC, born at YONEX. YONEX's original square frame shape, ISOMETRIC, equalizes the lengths of the main and cross strings, creating a sweet spot that is wider vertically and horizontally than a conventional round frame. Born at YONEX, this technology won numerous titles with top players in tennis, and in 1992 it became the world's first to be used in a badminton racket with the ISOMETRIC 500. Since then, it has been loved by countless players as the world standard. - EX-HMG - Aero + Box frame shape - New grommet pattern - Solid Feel Core - NANOMETRIC - New built-in T-joint - Ultra Slim Shaft - Control Support Cap - Vibration Dampening Mesh

      Nerima Butler （Experience：11-20 years） Best for doubles

      I was using the NANOFLARE 800 in 3U and it felt a little heavy, so I bought this one.
      I often play doubles, and even shots I used to be late on with the NANOFLARE 800, I can now swing through fully and return to the opponent's court, since the overall weight is light.
      Even in singles, I highly recommend it for people who often play at a fast pace.
      However, since it's head-light with a stiff shaft, I think deep shots take some getting used to.
      My impression was that smashes really travel.
      *Be careful about crashing it into the floor! I've seen someone break one!

      Toshi （Experience：More than 20 years） A racket suited to front court play

      I bought the model limited to the badminton specialty store association. I usually use the DUORA Z-STRIKE, so the lightness and head-light balance of this 5U threw me off. The advantage is that it's easy to swing, so drives and pushes are easy to hit. The disadvantages are that clears are a bit hard to hit deep, and smashes don't sink easily. A whip-like snapping stroke is essential, and if you swing in a way that suits this racket, clears will fly properly to the back. For smashes, I think it's effective not to go for one big shot but to finish with a barrage of consecutive smashes. As for clears, if you use a sharp snapping stroke, even high backhands easily fly to the back. It's a racket for advanced male players, and I get the impression it would be tough for women.
