Be carful with the grommets on the bottom of the frame if you string high-tension. the graphite there is pretty weak on the earlier models, so grommts need to be good. Performance wise the 300C (thera ar A = midstiff B=stiff and C= X-stiff) kicks ass! It is similar to YY 9900 type feel and speed.. It is best foru doubles if you dont preffer lighter stiffer stuff for singles. 300 sounds lika a bargain, but the quality of the graphite (elastic TI) could be better, so be carefull with grommets!
flexible? The N50 (non fake) designed on Fu Haifengs preferences is stiffer than Arc-Z.. So I dont now what you consider stiff?
Hm of course there is the (very slight) possibility that my N50 is fake, but I also think it's quite flexible - a medium-flex racket, as described. My Arc Z is definitely stiffer (somewhere in the low 'stiff' section). I think the N50 is very close to the Ti-10 2nd gen, that one is also medium stiff.
Hey Guys I need some help on buying a racket... I am an intimmidiate player, i am quiet big and love to smash, but because i am big i dont have fast arm swing speed like others but i have strong smash Whats best Li NIng racaket for me?
I would advice you not to go with Li-Ning but for example with the SOTX Woven 11i. If you have the pure arm-strength to handle it it is probably one of the most powerfull rackets there is.
I can't see why you should not try Li Ning - I'd say a N70 or N50II should be good. They're both head heavy, but not stiff, so you don't need very advanced technique to get good power into your shots. The N70 is a bit head heavier and slightly lighter in weight, the N50II is a bit quicker and slightly stiffer.
Brand name is really irrellevant Li-Ning, SOTX, Victor, Wilson, Forza, Yonex, Babolat, you name it.. All have good and bad rackets.. If you dont have very good technique and a strong wrist.. You will not benefit to much from the stiffest models anyway. My experienes testing lots of different racket and models I would say that LN for most models delivers better QC and quality than the competitors even for mid-range models.. As always it finally comes doe to testing, and preferences.
Bought a Li-Ning NP 201A, its good, good control, i feel my smash isn't as powerful with my other rackets. I can't give a detailed, experienced explanation as i am only 15 but i play at a county level
The NP201 is maybe a bit headheavy (300mm) as it is a little bit on the flexy side sringing it hard-tension is usually god for powersmashing
Thanks for the advice do you think putting a towel grip on it would make it have more control because it would make the grip heavier? i feel that my smash is fairly weak and i would like to have more control
Adding weight on the grip does nothing for me. The most important thing is that the grip size is correct, anything else is depending on the racket and string. Maybe string 1-2lbs tighter?
