A 4U budget graphite racket from the Vex Striker range, with a medium shaft and a balance that shops call even or slightly head heavy. It is aimed at improving club players who want a little more weight behind the shuttle than the 100 offers.

  • Very cheap, comes strung
  • 4U weight gives more stability than the 3U 100 feels at its price
  • Larger sweet spot helps off-centre hits
  • Shops disagree on balance and on flex
  • Entry-level materials
  • Tension limit only 26 lbs
