Yeah, the N9II prices are for some reason higher than the N7II. (Probably popularity) I'm a "Platinum member" on aliexpress from mostly buying some badminton stuff, so I also get some vouchers to apply and paired with cashback websites, I can sometimes get some prices down to something more attractive. Also to add, I think the max warranty for the TD is 26lbs, which is lower than the 30lbs(?) of the N. Ignore the specs on aliexpress, I think it's wrong.
Could anyone give me a rough idea of the price of a N9II in singapore, probably from e-link. I might be going there on holiday.
E-Link doesn't regularly stock LN anymore. They do however do special orders if requested. Sent from my LG-H930 using Tapatalk
I ended up buying Li-Ning N90 iv from EZbox for A$239. Have tried both N9ii and N90iv in store. Just loved the feel of N90iv. N9ii was definitely tempting due to the limited edition model (gold retirement edition) available at same price. But gave it a pass as I’m looking something different from ZFii which I currently use.
I bought 9ii TD (black/pink), after compare with N9ii. The reason is N9ii too stiff for me. First session with 9ii TD, I cannot generate power for forehand lob baseline to baseline, not mention backhand totally cmi. (I come from bs-12) Second session today maybe body adjusted to it, I can forehand lob easily and sometimes too long. The racquet swing speed is fast, on par to bs-12. Head slightly heavy and result is my smash more powerful than bs-12. When hard smash with bs-12, I can feel the shock. But with 9ii TD, it is steady and no shock! The only weakness now is backhand lob to be improved. In summary, it is a good upgrade from bs-12.
I bought a N9II (Tontowi Ahmad edition) racquet just a month ago and realized that the plastic which wrapped the grip says the balance point of the racquet is 295mm Can anyone verify whether i bought a N9II or 9II TD and how about yours?
The Ahmad edition was only done for the real N9II afaik. So don't worry, you got real deal there and not the TD. And if I remember correctly, the N9II was also spec'd with a balance point of 295.
Actually, the n9ii was spec with BP of 298. N7ii was spec with BP of 295. In my post #833 of this thread, I looked into this similar matter for a fellow member. N9ii 298mm mid-stiff N9ii TD 295mm mid-flex N9ii TF 290mm flexible
My n9ii Ahmad edition has a BP of 298mm, which is the same as the original color one. As I recall, I only know that the n7ii and n9ii td have BP of 295, but not the n9ii.
But there has never been an Ahmad version of the 9IITD (the take down versions are missing the N in the name by the way), right? And robfitsy is right, the product code from the label is identifies it as a real N9II also. So again, there is no need to worry that it's a TD or even a TF.
I have not seen any info about an Ahmad version of the TD also, so I think you are right about that. And yes, the TD and TF don't have the N in the 9ii. If the product code checks out, I wouldn't worry about it, unless it really plays differently than other n9ii.
OMG, it's an Ahmad edition 9ii TF. I didn't even know it existed. Thanks for the info! Now the plot thickens for @Morningstar.
When you look at the spec list that you have, it's showing the BP of n7ii and n9ii both at 295, which I strongly think is a typo. When I first looked at the n9ii last year, I did a long search comparing it to the n7ii, and all the info I found shown BP of n7ii at 295 and n9ii at 298. It was the extra 3mm BP that made me choose the n9ii, and we all know n9ii is head heavier than n7ii. But we do have li ning to blame for their lack of info on all their racquets, it makes it hard for us to even keep track. Anyway, I uploaded 2 pics of spec list that I have found before.
