Editor's take

Entry-friendly Bladex with medium shaft for amateur drivers — head-light feel with low force threshold.

  BadmintonCN: the BadmintonCN reviewer's review of 800 New (Mar 2026 retrospective)

  4U/G5: 84g unstrung, 89.3g w/ underbase removed, balance 297mm. Around 8.58 on YuanShi's deflection rig (Chinese creator's measurements; lower = stiffer) — the softest among all high-end speed rackets tested on that rig. Reviewer's lowest rating in his rotation (along with Auraspeed 100X Ultra). Off-string speed slower, pointing weaker, rear-court attack less authoritative than Yonex NF1000Z, NF100XSE (Victor Auraspeed 100X SE), or Halbertec 9000 Power. Suits beginners + lower-force players; not a tournament racket.
