  • It's a Japanese Grade 1 approved shuttle, but that doesn't mean it's durable, which is the tricky part.
    It's cheap, but it's light and the feathers break as soon as you hit it.
    As for durability, if you don't hit many strong shots it'll probably last a long time, but if you replace it whenever the flight gets worse or a feather breaks, you'll go through a lot.
    I've seen the cork and feathers come apart a few times.

  • Used at a tournament.
    After just one rally, it would turn oval
    or the feathers would spread and it wouldn't fly at all, so I don't have a good impression

  • Bought the 4U

    I was told (there's weight at the T-joint),
    which sounded interesting, and the purple and green are colors I like.

    Hitting with my usual feel, I thought it had a bit of a quirk.
    Swinging is really easy!
    Drives and receives are easy.
    But it's light and the shaft is thin, so timing and impact matter when you want to receive deep.
    Smashes also came out light unless I properly put my body weight into them.

  • As expected of a YONEX high-end product, it's good, but...
    It's just so expensive,,.
    Not a wallet-friendly price.

    I don't use it for practice, but in tournaments where you bring your own shuttles, when a less skilled player hits it, the feathers break right away,
    which is sad when you think about the money

  • It's lighter than the PRO and the shaft is about average, so I don't have any particular impression of it, good or bad.

    The feel is kind of dull.
    Of course it depends on the tension and the type of string, but
    it might be good for people who can't handle the PRO yet
