Hey guys, I have three rackets Nano flare 700, 88D pro, Z speed My favorite is the 88D pro. I want to switch from Yonex to Li ning. Just to try something new. I've never tried Li ning before. What would you recommend as something close to a 88D pro? Thanks
Yonex & Lining had different feel & in term of stiffness, most Lining are on the soft side. So, on Lining are pretty much simple. Go for the basic model AN9000, 3DC900, TC75. From that you could judge. If you need more heavy feel goes for Combat. If need abit lighter one goes for Drive. & if need even more light, go for Instinct.
hard to say. Lining Receipt are Combat heavier but less head heavy Drive lighter but more head heavy If you look at their swing weight, many of their lineup had pretty much close each other.
Have to disagree with @Budi on this one. The TC75 and AN9000 are way less stiff than the Astrox 88D (didn't get to try the 88D Pro so far but from what I heard it doesn't seem to be significantly different in stiffness compared to the regular 88D). I would recommend going with @ritzdra 's recommendations which are pretty much the sledgehammers LN currently has to offer: -Tectonic 9: really stiff rather heavy overall and headheavy -Tectonic 7C: weight between 3u and 4u Tectonic 9 and slightly less stiff (used by Kim Astrup) -Aeronaut 9000D: Stiff and rather fast but only available in 4u (used by Li Junhui before switching to Yonex) -Calibar 900C: quite stiff and headheavy, but has a faster and less solid frame compared to the three above (used by Liu Cheng, Wang Yilu and Praveen Jordan iirc before switching to Yonex/Victor) -Calibar 900: reasonably stiff and rather head heavy, but also doesn't have a box frame (used by Mads Pieler Kolding)
If you fav is 88D Pro, I don't think Calibar 900 will be a close choice. Why not wait for axforce 90 max?
Sorry to ask because Like i said I know about yonex and nothing about Li ning AXforce 90 max is supposed to be what kind of racket? what I think my ideal racket will be something with weight distribution same as yonex 88D just a little less stiff, I think that would be my ideal racket.
AF 90 is a 100zz kind of racket, even thinner shaft, longer shaft, and non solid shaft. Will be available in blue and orange with different parameters. Blue one will be stiffer and heavier like 88d pro (guess work). BP 308 ish Orange one will be less stiffer and less heavier like 100zz, BP 302.
