  • This racket is in a similar price range to the AIR POWER 2900. It's also affordable, yet it has "middle-of-the-road" specs for a carbon racket. Compared with the 2900, the shaft is slightly stiffer and it's a bit head-light. If you string them with the same string at the same tension, you can clearly feel the difference. Like the 2900, it has a satisfying hitting feel befitting its class, so it's also a good benchmark for anyone buying their first competition racket. I think you should pick the 2800 if you prioritize maneuverability, and the 2900 if you want to make use of flex. Both are probably ideal, price-wise too, as the first racket for newcomers starting in a school club.

    Partly due to MMOA going out of business, it's probably only available while distribution stock lasts, so buying early is a good idea.

  • It's a waterfowl shuttle under 3000 yen. At this price, I'm convinced. I can't help comparing it to YONEX, but compared to STANDARD or STANDARD II, it seems to be about the same price or a little cheaper while having better basic performance. It flies relatively cleanly, and the feel isn't bad either. It wears out naturally and rarely breaks from a single hit. The biggest difference compared to the 3000~3500 yen class is that it gets used up faster in hard-hitting exchanges, so it may break a bit more easily. I think it would struggle in game practice for advanced male players.
    I've only used 2 tubes, so I'd like to buy a few more before judging, but there haven't been any odd ones mixed in, and right now I think it might be a good deal.
