Choosing the right Li-Ning racket depends on three factors: Playing style, experience level and grip strength. Beginners and recreational players benefit from a balanced weight (approx. 85–90 g, flex: medium) such as the Axforce 70, which forgives mistakes and still provides enough power for attacks. Advanced tournament players who focus on fast-paced badminton are better off choosing a stiffer shaft – for example, the Axforce 100 or the Halbertec 9000 racket. Doubles specialists should look for a racket with a light head or balanced action to ensure quick reactions at the net. Generally speaking, the higher your skill level, the stiffer the shaft can be. If you're unsure, we at Bash Badminton Shop are happy to advise you. You can find more information about the individual racket series in our blog article.
