    User Review SummaryAI Summary
    A high-performance racket specialized for aggressive play styles, highly praised for smash and drive power. The tunable E-tune parts system is appreciated, though most reviews agree it's best suited for advanced players due to its head-heavy weight and stiff shaft.

      Satomi Trying out the VOLTRIC 80 E-TUNE

      I string it with BG66 FORCE at 25 lbs.
      I absolutely love the feeling of the racket biting into the shuttle.
      I think a lot of people believe the VOLTRIC 80 E-TUNE won't hit deep at all unless you have power.
      I use it too, and it goes pretty far even without power.
      The reason you do need power, though, is that it puts strain on your arm.
      I switched from a racket that was slightly head-heavy, so it's not that bad for me,
      but for people who are switching from a head-light racket like the NANORAY and don't have much muscle strength, I think they'll get arm pain and fatigue as soon as they start using it.
      If you're going to buy it, I think it's better to buy a slightly head-heavy racket first and then buy this one next.
      Don't attach the parts right away; wait until you're used to the racket and feel you can swing it freely.
      The VOLTRIC 80 E-TUNE has a really cool design.

      Minchi （Experience：4-5 years） Trying out the VOLTRIC 80

      I play badminton in high school.
      I'm using the VOLTRIC, and it's an interesting racket. By attaching the included parts, you can tune its performance to the player's preference. You can choose the power level by attaching the parts to the top, the bottom, or both parts of the frame, so I think it can be adapted to all kinds of players.

      Somehow... （Experience：6-10 years） Recommended for people who feel their smash lacks power

      Since it's a square-shaped racket, it features a wide sweet area. On top of that, the flex is strong and resilient, and it has the thinnest shaft of any YONEX racket, which appealed to me, so I bought it. Since I started using this racket, I feel like my smash power has gone up.

      Thomas （Experience：6-10 years） Stiff!

      I liked it when I demoed it, so I bought it. My impression is that the shaft is stiff. I'm using the 4U without any parts attached, and even compared to my NANORAY 900 in 3U, the swing isn't bad!

      Tsuyoshi （Experience：4-5 years） A versatile racket that can still really compete

      It's YONEX's classic VOLTRIC series, and it's a weapon when switching rackets depending on the opponent. The VOLTRIC 80 E-TUNE makes up for a lack of power in smashes and late in a match, and it also has speed and agility. The shaft is slightly stiff, and the way the shot extends straight when you hit adds power. Many people find it heavy, but for people of medium build or above, or with good stamina, I think it'll be a good partner.

      Taizo Recommended for people who like a firm feel

      Above all, the shaft was stiff. I think it's good for people who like a firm feel. The balance itself can be changed with the E-TUNE parts, so I don't think that's an issue.
