    Just too many variants , n7, n9, n90, ii, iii, iv and within that 3d break free , turbocharging , mega power ... gets confusing .

    Appreciate your help.

    Looking to try a new lining racket if anyone can give me few suggestions. I was looking at windstorm or turbocharging series? Something quick and easy maneuverable in the court but also can pack a punch if needed.

    So far I am using YY NF700, 9000i(loving it so far, but a little head heavy). I have a bravesword 12L coming along the way as well. All aerosonic string with exception of 9000i(lining #1)

    Thanks in advance.

    Anyone know if the n9ii/TC75 feels and plays similar to the Kason F9? I have the F9, but am curious about the n9ii. Would it be a redundant purchase?

    Bravesword 12 3U user, ready to sacrifice some speed for more power from back court. What would be a slightly HH / HH, mid flex Lining racket?. Higher end of 4U or mid end of 3U should be fine.

    I have been reading through N9ii, N90iv (3dc 900b), TC75, Tectonic 7/7C, Axforce 80, anything else ?.

    My TC75C LKY has been giving me very solid smashes for a 4u racket and its still quite fast. I can still drive and counter very quickly when playing in the front even with the tape i put on the head for a bit more weight.

    Indeed it is 3U and a head heavy banger for somebody who comes from a BS12. IMO the regular TC75 is a better choice, but IMO buying a discontinued line makes no sense, because of the struggle to find spares in the future. Luckily medium-flex, more head heavy than BS12 has in nearly in each line from Li Ning rackets which tick the boxes.

    My TC75C LKY is marked as a 4u so it could be just this edition

    Yonex preparing to launch astrox nextage very much looks like a turbo charging inspired frame, heck even the colour scheme resembles that of the N7 II.

    101 / 100 for innovation in 2023.

    Li ning halbertec 8000
    Vert hot in the market now.
    I have the VIP set.
    Upon checking the spec.
    It's actually made of carbon fiber.
    Not military grade carbon.
    Racket feels easy to play... Its like a less stiff tectonic 9. However the racket do feel sluggish in terms of speed. Also need to exert more power to generate shot.
    Could it be the material use not high end.?
    Li Ning market this 8000 as a high end racket, but honestly I don't feel so.
    Any comments from other 8000 user?

    Do you use the 3U version? To have a reference for your feeling of beeing sluggish, what is your go to racket? Someones trash could be someones treasure. :)
    What does easy to play mean, if it is sluggish in terms of speed and need more efforts to generate power? I struggle a bit to understand such statements which are contrary. Thanks in advance. :)

    The VIP set only comes in 4u version.
    My goto is Arc 7 pro, auraspeed 100x and hypersonic. All these are very fast rackets.
    8000 is like less stiff tectonic 9.
    Its good for long rallies but for short stroke it suffer in terms of speed at the front. As far the material wise, as it is carbon fiber and not military grade carbon, it does need more effort to generate power and also shuttle speed slower. Don't know whether is it the material used.

    What you are saying still makes no sense.

    How should these two things go together?

    It's not. We don't know any details about which actual carbon was used before, nor do we know now. A term like "military grade" frankly is nothing but marketing and doesn't say anything about any of its datasheet values.

    The only complaint I have for new Li-Ning racket is the butt-cap. Looks cheapo now compare to previous. [​IMG]

    Haha... Its okay then.
    Let's hear from others
    Maybe it's hard for me to explain.
    Bottom line it's not a fast racket.

    For you it is useless what others say, because you don't like it and it wouldn't change anything for you. :)

    Maybe you can help us by providing a few decent pictures or the head weight? That would also be helpful to see where it sits weight wise and explain your feeling. :)

    As someone who has never used a li Ning racket and used z force 2 ( 3 u ) as his main in past and am using ashaway x fire 2 now can anyone help suggest me a new racket from li Ning that might suit my needs ?

    I am basically a high intermediate or low advanced player who mostly plays singles or backcourt in doubles and prefers to use something heavy around 90ish grams or around as I have always player with 3u rackets . Want something that can produce lot of power but isn't necessarily too sluggish but importantly has a good feedback and doesn't feel hollow. Prefer something on the stiffer side but medium flex could work too.

    But like i said i would mostly be playing singles so want something that can suit my needs .

    Currently considering 75c and 9000c mostly and if anyone has played with both can compare them for me would b great. Other suggestions are welcome as well ofcourse.
