  • I felt this racket can handle receiving and front-court duties in doubles with no strain.
    Against people who hit heavy shots, it feels like you get pushed back a little, but it's easy to handle, so I wasn't afraid even standing further forward than usual.
    Overhead shots get a little weaker, but I think it's a racket that excels at fast exchanges and wrist shots.

  • I wish they'd put COUNTERVAIL in the 8000 of the BLAZE series, but honestly, with the COUNTERVAIL in this 7700, I can't really feel the effect even when using it...
    It might be easier to feel in a model with a stiffer shaft flex.
    It switches direction very nimbly and this racket is very easy to use too, but you might notice the things you're unhappy with before noticing its strengths and stop using it; I think it's the kind of racket whose strengths gradually come through after about three months

  • I love the BLAZE 8000J and wanted to try other rackets, so I bought this.
    Honestly, it felt harder to use than the 8000J.
    It's not hard to hit with; you can hit good smashes, it's fast, and I think it's a very good racket, but if you asked whether I could keep swinging it for a long time, I don't think I could...
    POWER ROD 2 gives a very good impression, but I felt that singles would make better use of this racket's potential.

  • I own every racket in the BLAZE series.
    My main is the 8000J, but when I'm tired or want to hit casually, I use the 7700 or this 7000.
    Rackets below the 8000 deliberately don't use Wilson's patented POWER ROD 2, so the feel and maneuverability seem a little lacking.
    Generally, Wilson shafts feel crisper and stiffer than other makers', and although this 7000 is aimed at women, its flex is on par with the 88S.
    Still, it doesn't feel too stiff, and the head is light so it's easy to swing.
    As a man using it, I thought that in badminton, which gets faster every year, it would be nice to have a POWER ROD model in 4U to use nimbly.

  • She went to a club after being invited by my second son, who has been playing badminton for a year, became interested in badminton, and so I bought her this as a present last year.

    I, a middle-aged man, also tried using it, and my impression was that it's easy to use since it's head-light and the shaft flexes.

    Since it's not a top-end model, maybe the build is a bit thicker overall; compared with other makers' rackets it's not as easy to swing, but it's not hard to hit with either.

    A year has passed and I've bought her other rackets too, but she still takes it out and uses it now and then, so I think it's easy for girls to use as well.
