1. What type of racket is the Ignite X1?
It is a head-light racket meaning that the balance point of the racket is weighted more towards the handle, so that the head is lighter. The balance point is 285-290mm from the base of the handle.
2. What type of player is it for?
It's aimed more towards a beginner to intermediate male and female players, and is priced as such. Its lightness makes it easier to swing and change directions with - so it's easier and less-strenuous to hit your shots.
If you're looking for something a little more advanced, check out the Rogue S1.

It comes in a 4U model which is 82g.

Falls short in terms of control and power generations to similar tier rackets that I have tried, the given string tension is too low even for beginner so I restrung exobolt 65 at 26lb for my experience. The shaft flexibility is a solid stiffness for new players and durability is good. Overall solid racket but falls just short of other competitors that I have tried in similar price range.
Great beginner Racquet, good price range, feels light and flexible, good strong and ok grip. For me I will recommend immediately re-gripping your racquet as it is too thin for my liking. I will get my friends to further test it and if they like it recommend them to buy this one before they move on for more advanced racquets.
Not an advanced racquet, but I also do recommend Volant's balanced racquet if you're looking for an upgrade (my current favourite out of all of my current racquets)
I have been playing badminton for 10+ year, never said I was great, but broke enough racquets/hurt my wrist few times to know a good one from a bad one. I personally own 6 racquets and keep my racquets on rotation to compare them.
