  • Bought as a racket for my daughter in 3rd grade.
    She had been practicing with her older sister's hand-me-down (MUSCLE POWER 7), but since her form has gotten much better,
    we stepped up just a little.
    Compared to before, the racket is lighter, so she can keep up with faster shots, and the shaft is soft, so
    I think even a child without much strength can send the shuttle far without breaking her form.
    (Both parents are experienced players, and we can tell it's a good, quirk-free racket even when adults use it)
    "Long shaft" and "famous player models" were also very appealing, but we'll save those for when she gets better.

  • I use it for elementary school kids' practice. Until now I prioritized price and used STANDARD 2, but as the kids improved, I upgraded the shuttle a little too. Compared to STANDARD 2, the shuttle doesn't wobble on drives, and clears and smashes feel solid. It costs about 50 yen more per shuttle, but it's durable, so it more than pays for itself.

  • I bought these after reading the reviews on this site. As other reviewers mentioned, the surface of the cork peels off relatively quickly, but I think the durability of the shuttle itself is fully satisfying for this price range. As for flight, the way the shuttle comes back? on drives seems to have a slight quirk, but it's not at a level that really bothers me. Flight on clears, smashes and so on is very stable. I think it's very well made as a practice shuttle.
