Overview
It’s no wonder that the current demand for rackets is increasingly focused on lightweight. I analysed personal performance choices based on the data of recently used rackets that are the same except for specifications. I also concluded that I prefer the lighter equipment under the same frame. But the hobby of lightweighting always has a range. What is considered to be light enough or too light? Is 4U just right or 7U not too light? Can even 10U be used a little more? In the current context where 5U has become very popular, Kawasaki’s 6U is still more fun than 5U and has its own gimmicks. Parameters: 6UG6, bottomed, playing weight 80.3g, balance point 304mm, 6.8mm shaft, length 215mm, medium hardness, box frame, 76-hole string bed, 9-3 point string groove, 30-Lb warranty, stringing 24-26lbs BG-65. The word "fast hydrogen" is of course a borrowed word for "extremely light", and then uses a strange combination to highlight the meaning of "fast" and "ultra-light". It is creative, but I won't let it go next time. I couldn't find the right word in pinyin input, so I will use H2 instead. However, the Hydrogen paint itself is relatively low-key. The head of the pat is off-white. A section of silver water decals is integrated at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions and then transitions to black primer. The decoration of the entire pat follows a minimalist style, and the materials used are very restrained, like Nordic furniture. I can’t tell that the brand has ever created a buzz for it. However, the "Kawasaki" in the tee position of the racket shows the ambition of the racket. On paper, the 30T mixed with 40T frame and the 30T mixed with 46T shaft increase the keyboard value. This is the cornerstone of this racket's performance. The owner of the racket is a woman. She complained that the racket is too light and cannot produce power. This is a common problem with this type of product. However, after learning to actively exert force, you will find that the foundation of H2 is really good. The response of the rebound after the deformation of the mid-pole is very positive. After adding force, the speed of the ball will be accelerated immediately, and the more concentrated it is, the more explosive it will be. the power of the racket feels good, the swing stroke is smooth and the swing speed is quite high, which is full of highlights. In fact, it is not very difficult to use, it just depends on the user's ability to use it. The frame of H2 is a great benefit for short-term power generation. In fast competitive games, it is like stepping into an uninhabited environment. The racket surface can be passed at any time and is airtight. No matter how embarrassing the pursuit, armpit, backhand, or shoulder position, it can effectively deal with the ball. Once the situation enters the draw phase, it enters the realm exclusive to H2: it can touch the upper limit of the user's reaction ability, and is at home in its own interception area. It uses its fingers and forearms to stimulate the performance of the material, forming a dense and violent ejection offensive. The fault tolerance rate of the racket surface and the stability of the racket frame also avoid the situation of scratching the top, so you can enjoy the pleasure of scoring points with a flat drive and follow-up. There is also something to say about the performance of the racket at the net. Its lightness makes it predictable for the ball to come out of the net, but its flexible body can bring more flexibility. At first, it can seize opportunities to score by itself, and at next, it can further suppress the opponent's passivity and facilitate teammates to launch offensive. The bounce or soft block after the shot is paused is very convenient and can make more fake moves. Even I, who is poor at kung fu, couldn't help but play it a few times during the trial stage. I felt embarrassed after the deception. However, when you want to take a shot from the backcourt, H2 is too floating, the shot is not stable enough, and the shot is easy to go high. Meanwhile, the backcourt pressure performance of the racket is not weak. It is like being possessed by VTFB. Although the pressure feeling is not strong, the racket surface deforms after hitting the shaft and hits the ball head in a whipping posture, which can achieve quite explosive speed. Loosely speaking, this is like a 6U-sized Nezha 35. The latter itself is very useful to I, and further lightweighting will naturally make it more interesting in terms of consistent performance. After being pushed into a neutral position, the lightweight advantage can also help to deal with passive situations. Of course, lightweight is a double-edged sword, and I understand that this interest is not universal. But in this regard, lightweighting is still a gimmick that has some impact.
