  • This shuttle comes in two versions: one without a sticker and one with a sticker.
    According to the store clerk, the only difference is whether the sticker is applied, and the quality is exactly the same, so I bought this one.
    I think it was about 300 yen cheaper.
    You can buy it for 2,000-something yen, so I thought it was economical too.

    People used to YONEX, MIZUNO, or GOSEN shuttles will probably find the feel slightly heavy.
    However, I didn't feel the flight was noticeably worse, and in fact I found the feel quite pleasant.
    The feathers are thick too, and I felt they were better quality than those on Company Y's approved shuttles.
    It's also very durable and doesn't wear out easily even with hard use, which I liked.
    I couldn't judge the variation between shuttles yet, so I'm taking off 1 point for that.

    I've heard that national teams practice with the official-grade shuttles of the host country they're competing in.
    I think it's good to get to know shuttles from various makers.

  • Before buying, I had a chance to try out the YONEX ARCSABER 11 PRO before its release,
    and I thought this racket beat it in maneuverability and swing speed.
    I bought the 4U.
    I read a post online saying it was developed with the "ARCSABER 10" in mind,
    and that may well be true.
    It's slightly head-heavy, but the maneuverability isn't bad and it feels surprisingly light.
    In practice, my smashes really fly with a lot of extension.
    Hairpins at the net are easy to control too.
    It works as an all-rounder, and you can use the stiffness of the shaft to deal with fast smashes.
    I feel it's a hidden gem of a racket.
