Please review on GOSEN RYOGA SERIES

actaully gosen no so expensive in some country , like thailand u can get tenbu shiden around 3700 bath
around 125 us dollar, gosen really produce good quality racket. if u feel x5 white is too soft maybe should try
x5 gold it is more stiff and look cool too. In malaysia we can get x5 around rm 300 only
around us dollar 100

 

Haha but i have to tell you one thing, Shiden is not as addictive as some of the other powerful rackets. You might end up seeking another racket like me lol. I want to try the Yonex Voltric 80 too....

 

Really?? It cost me around 150USD to get a Shiden, a difference of 25USD.....

 

People are likely to be addicted because of the feel/power of a racket.

In terms of feel, i think it is somewhat lacking. It could be a consequence of using a hard and thin string, but I just don't find it lively. Though i have mentioned before that drop shots and net plays are easy and they feel good, i seriously think it's just a muscular memory of feel, not from the impact and the vibration of racket.

And power wise, it's definitely not the most powerful racket out there. It cuts through the air very fast but the ball isn't blowing past everything. Of course, it's already more powerful than a lot of rackets, but not yet addictive.

BTW, a friend of mine captured a video of me when hitting. I found that many of my shots are not right at the centre, this could be a cause of the lack in stunning power. But in my very first impression, i thought i hit the sweetspot everytime, so i said not much time is needed to adjust. It's my fault by saying that, i guess the dull feel makes me feel that i have hit a centered shot.

 

I am now visiting Hong Kong, so i bought it at e78

 

Yea, the owner is so nice and reply e-mail quickly. I am thinking if i should get the MX80 and the TC700 from him before I leave.

 

no, its not like ebay. far from it.

Rakuten is the BIGGEST online retail company in the Japan. keyword is RETAIL, not auction. To list products on Rakuten Market, you need a commercial registration license which usually means you will either have a phyiscal store or an office. and when you have a license, you are accountable for alot of things, one of being selling fake products.

seriously, shuttlehouse, mybadminton. and e78 are not the only place that you can buy "genuine" equipment online. all these hate and doubt, gets no one anywhere. and if i dunno any better, sounds like you are quite bitter about the sudden availability of the black issen. why, regretting your recent shiden purchase already?

 

Let me translate it to english so more people can read. As they are not real review, so i just make it in point form.

Link 1:
1)Shiden has a stiff shaft, stable frame and not head-heavy. Good for flat drives in doubles.
2)Z-slash is(probably) easier to get used to.
3)Shiden has great feel when performing smash point-smash.
4)The two rackets has similar power, giving the bird similar speed.

Link 2:
1)Shiden has less bite the NS9900, it's more reminiscent to the repulsion of 8DX
2)Shiden has egg-shaped head, but it's not a big problem to encounter

 

These comments might not be very accurate but it can be used as reference.
Yea I'm actually chinese.
