Kizuna high quality finally available in UK and Europe.
The racket scores a solid 4.4 out of 5. While the build quality is decent, it doesn't quite measure up to models like the Felet TJ 1000. A few clashes revealed some lower-quality aspects of the frame, particularly with the paint chipping off. However, the racket's aesthetics are strikingly beautiful, making it a standout in terms of appearance.
In terms of performance, this racket excels in the front court. Its exceptional repulsion off the frame has significantly improved my ability to finish rallies, even with a backhand, in the front and mid court. The control at the net is outstanding, and the racket offers excellent speed, enabling fast reactions, particularly in overhead shots at the front court. Drives and clears are exceptional.
Defensively, the racket performs well in pushing the shuttle away, offering solid defensive capabilities in clearing shots. However, it falls short when it comes to blocking smashes with sharp, close-to-the-net returns, as it tends to push the shuttle further than intended. The racket feels light in hand, and while you can sense the head's presence if you hold it loosely, it lacks the stability found in models like the JPX series. This may make it slightly less reliable in tight defensive plays.
One of the standout features is its larger sweet spot, which I suspect is due to the 80 grommet pattern or the frame design. Unlike many modern rackets that opt for newer frame designs for speed, this model retains a traditional box frame yet doesn't feel sluggish in any way. It maintains a good balance between power and speed.
This racket pairs exceptionally well with performance strings like the 66 Ultimax or Aerobite. However, it does have its limitations in the back court. While it offers a solid smash, the shuttle tends to slow down when hitting from deep in the court, making it challenging to finish rallies from the backline. On the positive side, it offers the ability to smash multiple times continuously without making errors, unlike other rackets where you might need to switch to a drop or clear after one or two smashes due to being out of position.
This racket is excellent for both singles and doubles play. You can literally manipulate the pace of the rally in singles with this.
Overall, this racket is a formidable option for players who value control, speed, and repulsion.
Racket feels a lot like a venom I, easier to play. Even If it's lighter, feel like the smashes are more powerful, may be more whiping effect. Doesn't feel flexible to me, more medium flex. At the net.... amazing, as you can expect with the weight. Really pleased with the value for money. Strings are rubbish, needs re stringing.
Received the racket faster than I thought, very happy and you guys are very helpful with my inquiries. Thank you
Had it for a month now to give it a chance and I'm very happy with it. Smash is noticeably better and I've made less unforced errors. Enjoying the racket and would recommend.
I use it about 6 months. Few days ago I bought another one.
It is flexible, good for defence and drives, easy clears and respectable smash.
T7 provides very soft filing and has stable good control.
Forgiving for wrist and elbow.
Fast, speedy service and good value. Much better than many competitors. Will use again.
Fantastic guidance regarding the purchase of this racket. This racket feels quick to play with, even though it is a 4U, and being head-heavy, it is surprisingly good in defense. Additionally, the racket is user-friendly, making it easy to get accustomed to. Furthermore, it provides good power, which helps execute powerful smashes and clears from the backline.
Good packaging, in good conditions. Would recommend
Thx for allowing the extra time (after usual closing time) and allowing us to pick the best size.
And a fabulous collection of so many things specifically for Badminton.
The T-shirt is very nice material and looks good. We got XL size and it is not a usual European sizing, its more like size M in Europe. Just when you ordering go up 1 or 2 sizes. Happy with it overall
