So i guess i'll be the first one to share my impressions of N50-III. Great racket. Fast. Powerful. Clears are effortless, defense is good, the power is easily accessible. The feel is rather light (but not too light, it's still head-heavy), not too stiff. Mine is violet - very nice colouring, not as nice as n55-iii, though ) Some thoughts about comparison with other rackets... Since i have all the third gen ones: N55-III - the most head-heavy of the bunch. Very solid feel but still rather fast. Feels and plays similar to n90-ii with a bit more crisp feel. N55-iii is the stiffest of the third gen ones but not too stiff (a little bit under MX-JJS' stiffness). n90-III - the one i don't really like, plays rather averagely for me. Feels rather whippy. Just slightly less head-heavy than n55-iii but doesn't really seem faster. Between the two i hold n55-iii as a definite favourite. n50-III - the least head heavy of them. Stiffness is around the same as n90-iii, but it doesn't feel too whippy since it's not as head-heavy. Feels fast and precise, finally, in the end of a two-hour session, i can still do fast stick-smashes and flat drives. Comparing n50-III to Adipower Pro. Feel very similar. Stiffness about the same, the APP maybe just a tad stiffer. APP feels abit heavier overall. Play rather alike, n50-iii feels a bit faster. But APP is a great racket, great power in singles and fast enough for my doubles games, so i usually use it or jjs in doubles, since i'm really afraid to break my n50-iii in a clash. Comparing n50-III to MX-JJS. The feel is quite different, because JJS is way stiffer. Personally can't pick my favourite of them. I really really like the JJS. Sometimes it plays incredibly well in my hands. Sometimes i struggle a bit with the stiffness (mostly when i'm tired). Can't decide right now which one is better, the less stiff feel of a n55-iii is a bit closer for me now, but that can change overtime. I string my rackets with ZM65 at 25/27 lbs, play with both feather and plastic.
Li Ning officially present in mauritius since oct . first to arrive were shoes , apparel , bags ( see my purchases ) . Rackets expected next week .
I heard from unconfirmed sources, Lin Dan will sign with New York Red Bulls and will play football in US Major League from 2014 new season.
brand new Li ning owner here. Want a better than AT900T racket and thus get a N55III. Will try to sum up my experience after today's training session.
well...possibly given a few swings I did. i may find out I should be playing with 900P instead of T for these few years :crying:
Great racket. Head heavier than 900t but maybe due to the air vents, not slow in swinging feel. more solid feel than 900t. Smash and defense feel similar, but more consistent, possibly because n55iii is a bit easier to handle. Placement and net shots more accurate.
New update as per Yumao china webpage. N90 bal point: 304 (Lin Dan) N80 bal point: 295 (Chen Long, Jorgensen) N77 bal point: 288 (Du jing, Yu Yang) N9 bal point: 295 (Fu Haifeng) N 55 III (Purple) bal point: 303 (Zhang nan/Zhao Yulei) N70 bal point: 300 (Liu Xiao long)
They all use Victor MX80's painted like different Li-Ning rackets. The MX80 is the stiffest racket on the market.
Yeah and only professional players like that can handle the stiffness and head heaviness of the racket. Definitely not for us. LOL
For your info , China players only use Li ning rackets . Latest info from reliable source: China Team stringer Zhang Zhiping Players racket tension 1) Du Jing (35) 2) Chen Jiao (33) 3) Lin Dan (30)
