    Hi,

    I am an intermediate player looking for a mid-flex, slight-heavy to heavy head racquet.

    Right now I'm having my eyes on Astrox 77 and I would like to know if there are any comparable models from Li Ning? Also do let me know of any other intermediate-level racquets from Yonex i can scout around too!

    Thanks in advance!

    Looking at the Yonex Lineup, you could also take the Astrox 88S Pro/Play/Tour/Game and 88D Game into consideration.


    Pretty much all highend Yonex rackets are stiffer than the Astrox 77 or more headheavy than what you are looking for.

    Looking at Li-Ning's offerings, there are quite a few options, covering pretty much all price ranges, to choose from (keep in mind that mid-flex can depend from brand to brand with Yonex being on the stiffer end and LN being on the softer end):
    -Tectonic 7//7D
    -Calibar 900 (quite headheavy but compensated 4u weight), 800 (former N80-2), 600B/600C, 300B/300C
    -Aeronaut 8000/8000D, 7000/7000C, 5000, 4000
    -Turbo Charging 75C, 50C/50D

    Hi, since you are already eyeing the Astrox 77, I have been using it almost half a year now, read my review about it (https://www.badmintoncentral.com/fo...eview-of-the-yonex-astrox-77-too-good.188490/)
    I have the Ax77, recommend you to buy the 4u for doubles and 3u for singles.
    Great racket in itself for an intermediate player, if you have any queries get in touch with me
