Until the new Blade X800 reachs Europe the 90K II is 2 years old, had 8 stringing jobs and @s_mair broke it at the tournament with the basketball hoop (r.i.p. N7II Szechuan)
Apart from liking the paint job, I can't imagine this badminton racket appealing to him. I played the current Bladex800 and did't like it either. We share some preferences in racket types. Of course not all but a few like e.g. N7II / N9II ...
btw: If we are talking about beauty and paint jobs and even if I run the risk of boring you. I was able to complete my LiNing family. I could hardly believe my luck when I found a store which had an original N9II (at top of the picture) with the bronze-green paint job in stock. I think it goes perfectly with the black-green N7II and is much nicer than the black-pink-blue TC75. Currently that's more exciting for me than the other unavailable rackets and s_mair might be happy for another 76 hole pattern to string in future. I am GAS resistant neither
Hi, are you able to compare the performance of Bladex 800 3u with Calibar 900B or other Li Ning rackets?
How do you define performance? I got the chance to test both but do own none of them. Instead of the 900B I went for the 600B. The Bladex800 is balanced to headlight and stiff. The player I know who owns it likes the fast game, he tries to keep you in that fast game with drives and takes any chance to kill. even if he uses the racket in singles, too I'd rather use it for doubles only. But this is subjective assessment. The 900B for me is more allround and I could use it in all disciplines. It has a bit more power and is also balanced but for my feeling not that headlight as the Bladex800.
Hey guys, does anybody know why Li Ning rackets have become so goddamn hard to find in Europa or Germany, to be more specific? And will this change anytime soon? I've seen people already talk about Axforce 100 and I'm still waiting for the Axforce 90 to be available somewhere in my country...900C is also very hard to find. I remember a few years ago I was able to get most Li Ning high end rackets at my local badminton shop, but now they've disappeared
I honestly have no idea why many Li Ning rackets are hard to find in Germany and Europe but if you are willing to pay the goddamn high prices Li Ning is asking for their rackets you can order from their store in Denmark direktly. Axforce 90 is about 201€. The only exception currently is the 900C which is available for 145,90€ - what a bargain --> https://li-ningfamily.com/products/1071-calibar/ At the moment I am having the chance to get a souvenir from Thailand but even there prices range from 173€ -178€ for Axforce 90 and Halbertec 8000. Cannot believe many local people are able to afford these rackets.
Racquet force shared possession photos of the racket on their facebook page. Spec & swing weight properly soon to come.
Hi, new here. I am interested in trying Lining Racket for the first time but the line-up is really confusing with so many models around even within the same category. I am currently playing with Yonex 88S 4U 1st generation and so far this racket really suits me ie: good speed, easy to move around, not tiring to use, but lack just a bit of power for me. I tried YY Duora 10 but it was too head heavy and tiring to use and Victor JS12 yellow which was nice to use similar to 88S but power was even more lacking. Any suggestions which Lining model I should try? I browsed around axforce 80 and aeronaut 9000 model but not sure what the differences are between the different 9000s.
I went back several pages to find a list of new models in Lining's line, that replaced their older series. I play with two Lining n99 rackets and love them, compared to several Yonex, Lining and Victor rackets I tried in the past. What is the replacement for n99, in the new Lining lineup? Thanks.
