Badminton racket Kawasaki MASTER MAO 20

The Kawasaki MASTER MAO 20 is an offensive, Professional-class racket — built for players who base their game on powerful, controlled attacking from the back of the court.

The Kawasaki MASTER MAO 20 is the flagship of the MASTER series, designed for players who want to dictate an aggressive pace of play. It combines a head-heavy balance with a medium-stiffness shaft, offering a rare blend of power, precision and comfort during fast rallies. It's aimed at ambitious, advanced and competitive players who expect tournament-level performance — at a price far friendlier than the flagships of the leading brands. The racket is available in two striking colourways: orange and purple.

At the heart of the MASTER MAO 20 is a 46T high-modulus graphite shaft with medium stiffness. During the swing it stores energy and releases it at the moment of contact with the shuttle, letting you generate powerful smashes with less effort while keeping excellent control at the net and in defence. This makes the racket more forgiving than extremely stiff constructions and keeps it comfortable throughout long, intense play.

The frame is also built from 46T high-modulus graphite, delivering high torsional stiffness, durability and head stability at impact. The head-heavy balance with a 305 mm balance point adds mass exactly where it matters most — in finishing shots from the rear court. The result is full, "heavy" smash energy while keeping the racket predictable to handle.

The MASTER MAO 20 is designed for an offensive style of play, yet thanks to its more elastic, medium shaft it remains friendly to intermediate players who want more power in their shots without losing control. The racket performs superbly in both singles and doubles — offering dynamism in attack and confidence in fast defensive play.
