This racket gets pushed a ton in videos, but it's actually great once you try it~
The lightness gives it maneuverability and ease of use, the grip is comfortable to hold, and the design is nice and simple.
The feel is a bit on the hard side, with a bit of that straight-flying 7-ply characteristic.
It's a god-tier racket.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness little hard

This one has that pleasant all-wood feel, and I felt it's a blade that helps you develop the sense of grabbing the ball and driving it with your own power. It's also incredibly light. I'd say it's a blade that even players without much strength can swing all the way through with confidence. The design is simple too, and Mizuno's understated logo looked really cool.
As for rubber, you really can't go wrong pairing it with something aimed at beginner to intermediate players.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

When I used to have Glayzer on my forehand, my practice partners told me it didn't have much spin. I put the same rubber on the Or Evo and compared, and the Or Evo clearly generated more spin — they said it was harder to return.
Right now I have the short pips rubber Spinate on the forehand, and the match is good. I barely get net misses — if anything I overshoot more — so it has decent ball-holding and you don't need to worry about it dropping into the net.
The bounce itself doesn't feel especially strong, so just as the title says, I think the best way to use it isn't to try to win on spin, but to take advantage of its lightness and snap and just swing through.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Being a 5-ply all-wood blade, control is good, but the ball comes off it faster and it bounces more than the Fortius.
I felt like that translated into more speed.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft

Good design, nice and light, speed that's close to a 7-ply all-wood blade, and a good feel too — this is a flawless product.
The grip isn't especially thick or thin, but for kids with small hands, I'd recommend the flared version.
Compared to the beginner-favorite Swat, the trajectory feels a bit more flat and direct. If you're looking to pair it with a rubber, something like Rigan Spin that's easy to get spin on might work well. Since it's lightweight, you don't really notice it even if you put on a slightly heavier rubber, which is nice.

The feel alone is godlike!
A badminton racket actually bounces more than this.
I'd recommend Curl P3 on the forehand and Feint Long 2 on the backhand — that combo seems like a good one.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Soft

The grip is comfortable to hold, which is nice.
Once you put rubber on it, the overall balance shifts toward being top-heavy.
So you can't use max thickness rubber with it.
The bounce is only about 70% of a carbon blade.
It's probably best thought of as something for elementary or middle schoolers just starting out in a club.
As others have mentioned,
the ball trajectory tends to be flat and direct.
As for build quality, it feels about right for the price.
Well, since it's cheap, the value for money isn't bad.Overall Speed Spin Control Touch Hardness Little soft
