    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    A lightweight racket that enables easy handling and increased swing speed, delivering high offensive capability. It is supported by a wide range of players from beginners to advanced users, especially popular among those lacking physical strength and all-around players.
    ■ Frequently mentioned points
    • Lightweight yet effective head with excellent power transfer capability
    • Outstanding maneuverability and swing-through for aggressive play
    • Comfortable grip that fits the hand naturally and is easy to handle
    • Improved swing speed increases shot sharpness and velocity
    • Stiff shaft requires adjustment but enables precise control once mastered
    ■ Representative voices
    ▲ PositiveLight and easy to use, the swing speed increased, and the shots have more speed and sharpness than before. It's a very user-friendly and easy-to-handle racket.
    ▽ CriticalBecause it's light, power smashes lack impact, and the ball feel is unique, which can feel unfamiliar to those accustomed to Yonex. It may feel insufficient for male singles-focused players.

      Yuuta （Experience：6-10 years） A powerful racket

      This racket is very light, yet it's easy to put power into your shots. I think it's a racket that lets you play an all-out power game, like serve-and-volley in tennis. I was able to play differently than before.

    • KO-2

      KO-2 （Experience：More than 20 years） Light, but you can swing hard!

      I have a pretty aggressive playing style, so a shaft that swings through easily and has solid flex that holds up to it suits me right now. The head has nice weight to it, and it feels good to hit. Also, the stock grip has a very tacky feel and fits my hand perfectly, so I use it without rewrapping.

      Ben （Experience：6-10 years） Light and easy to use!

      I was looking for a good racket and bought this one because the design looked cool. It's not just the design: this CALIBER AF is light, easy to use, and swings really fast. Naturally I can hit nice shots with it, so I'm very satisfied.

      Wormwood （Experience：6-10 years） Light and easy to use!

      A teammate at my club told me it was light and easy to use, so I bought it.
      Just as they said, it's really easy to use and light. Also, maybe because my swing speed got faster, my shots are faster and sharper than before. I definitely recommend it!

    • Baddon

      Baddon （Experience：2-3 years） Good feel, and the swing speed wasn't bad either.

      I used this MIZUNO CALIBER AF and was able to hit some pretty good smashes, so I think the feel was really good. It also didn't feel bad in terms of swing speed, so it was a good racket for competitive play.

      kazuo （Experience：2-3 years） A racket whose head carries well

      This is the racket I chose while thinking about taking badminton seriously. It's light, the head carries weight well, and my impression is that it's easy to swing. Considering that top players use it too, I think it's a racket for intermediate to advanced players.
