I'm trying to find a racket with the holding feel of AX88s or Arc11 in the li ning line up. Something close to the head heaviness and stiffness of those two should be fine.
I own those 2 rackets. Curently using 88S at most. Arc11 is just second choice in my bag. I’ve just got Aeronaut 7000 which has specs almost the same 88S. Havent tried new racket yet so I will review after next few days
AERONAUT 9000I Specs are: weight: 79g balance: 327mm I estimate that the headweight is around 38-38.5g dry. I like this oldschool touch of these carbonexish colors, but IMO not something I would go for. But will sell like hot cakes if watanabe use it (fanboy syndrome).
Looks like a Thanos version. Would have expected this colorway from Victor in their Marvel Series instead of Li Ning
Think he is just taking a pic with a newly about to launch racket. The I range is a 5u racket mainly target for woman players. Cannot imagine Watanabe from duora z strike, 9000c ( both 3u) to 9000i 5u.
Anyone else own both an9000c and the tc75/n9ii? I feel that the TC75 has a more solid hitting feel while being harder to maneuver (they're supposed to be the same weight wise but I might have gotten a heavier sample).
If you add 2 layers of overgrip it will become more headlight. That's common knowledge in racket science.
After being disappointed with the green/black LN TC 75i because it was too stiff, I got to try a pink/white TC 70i last night. It was about 80% of what I want and excelled around the net for control. It was a little too head heavy, a little too stiff, and slow for maneuverability. So, I scoured Li Ning's specs and it looks like a Windstorm 74 might be the perfect fit for me. Would someone who has tried it please give a review? It's a new racket but isn't even in LN's catalog anymore, and I'm having trouble finding someplace that will ship one to the USA. Otherwise, does any other racket come to mind that might fit my parameters? LN Windstorm 78SL? I'm also considering a Abroz Power Z Smash and a Apacs Asgardia Lite, but don't think I'll get the quality of a Li Ning. Man, that 70i felt great, but just a little off, mainly slow at smash defense and overall speed. I want to stay under 80 grams. Thank you for any help you can give.
Try astrox 100zz 4u and u won’t be disappointed.. TC70(aka n7ii n old names) is primarily a front court racket and I had it. Now a days rackets are made to feel heavy while keeping on hand but they don’t feel heavy while playing. Honestly n7ii and all astrox series (except 99) are made that way.. little weight is required for the racket so that the shuttle travel well.. I own astrox 88d, 100zz , n7ii, Kawasaki k9. All 4u except n7ii but n7ii is easy to handle as well... In the current generation 100zz 4u, victor auraspeed 90s(I have not played it), Kawasaki k9 are very easy to handle with very little to no stress on shoulder also.. all lining “I” series are light weight rackets.. (less than 80 grams) u need good technique and strong wrist to get full potential of it otherwise sometime u can’t even hit a proper clear if you are off balance in the court.. ending up giving a mid court smash for your opponent while you are off balance..

The only advise I can give you is to be very careful when it comes to those superlight <80 g rackets. It is so easy to completely screw up your wrist and elbow in case your technique is flawed. What makes me suspicious in your particular case is that your apparently need those super light racket to get length in your shots. That sounds to me as if you’re playing way too much with your wrist (meaning you snap your wrist during the stroke) which will ultimately limit the accessible power and also lead to injuries. My advise would be to stick to any of your current rackets and start working on your technique. A racket like a TC75I or a TC70 should be easily manageable with just a remotely decent technique. A 6U racket might be covering flaws in your technique partly, but it will not help you to actually improve. Worse, it will cause the opposite to happen.
