This is the Michael Burritt series model from Malletech. I bought it around May of this year, but I'm selling it because I haven't been using it much. There are tape marks on the top of the MB5 shafts and some slight bending of the shafts. The MB5 is the initial model, not ver2. Therefore, it's lighter than the other two pairs. Also, the sound is a bit harder, and the MB8 feels softer. MB5 Soft MB8 ver2 Soft to Medium MB13 ver2 Medium to Medium Hard ↑ Information from the website. All rattan. Regarding price reduction, I can go down to 13,000 yen!
