Who it may suit
This entry may help a shopper compare the listed grip/weight code, balance label, shaft flex, stringing advice and string pattern with other catalogued badminton racquets. It does not establish individual fit or on-court outcomes.
Specifications in context
- Stringing advice
- Yonex lists 20-28 lbs for this product; this is manufacturer guidance rather than a universal setup recommendation.

- Head Heavy and Stiff are catalogued specifications useful for comparison, not a promise of a particular result.
Tradeoffs and caveats
- 4UG5 is Yonex’s published configuration code; confirm regional stock and options before ordering.
- Head-heavy and stiff are manufacturer labels, not guarantees about feel or results.
- Follow current manufacturer stringing guidance and consult a qualified stringer where needed.
