Li Ning Rackets Fan Club :)

Bro i see a lot of people comment Arch z slash is very good.. i wonder how good it is compared to N90 ?

As i never own a N90 i cannot answer your question. And by the way, i don't think A LOT of people said Arc Z is good in the forum. Many are finding it a hard time to get used to it. Some decided to even sell it off.
To me Arc Z (ONCE YOU GET USED TO IT) is more powerful overall than N55.

Hope this helps.

Bro tckang : u have or got try Li ning N50 (Fu haifeng)

Next time please read the post before posting your questions

And no, i ONLY have N55, no N50 and no N90, unfortunately.

I did tried N50 in Beijing's Li Ning free public testing some months back. N50 is a solid and nice racket for doubles. Quick and responsive. Somehow, however, i feel the smash lacks the punch as compared to N55. ( This is very debatable since many FHF fans are arguing if N50 is less powerful than N55 then how come FHF don't use N55, and how come FHF can still comes up with monster smash with N50?)
My answer is we are not FHF and everyone will feel differently on the same racket. Again go and try out the rackets yourself, especially Li Ning Singapore has that facility. (Do you know how many fellow Forum members from Aussie, Canada, US, etc are so eagerly to try out LN rackets but don't know where to turn to?)

tckang,

you may remember vivdly from your tennis playing years that seemingly less powerful, smaller and flexier racquets are in the hands of becker, sampras, ivanisevic, etc. however, they are the big bangers of the game!

ferrerkiko, thus it might explain a bit on why fhf can do better w/ less stiffer or powerful racquet, that is, comparing n50 to n55, b'cos hitting the tiny sweetspot is not a problem for fhf. (i, however, have not used either racquet so i will never know).

tckang, i hv (like twobeer) used LN n90, it is solid, stiff and powerful (as i said before, like a brick). it is good enough for me that i can wield it w confidence but i like arc zs more b'cos it has better feel/feedback unlike n90 which i think feels dead (twobeer might disagree). i would rate it close enough to the feel of rsl x3 gold, solid as a rock but i get more feedback from it than n90.

cheers,

p.s. i hv recently started to read the domains of loh and pemuda (i guess). very nice, i learned a lot despite reading just a few postings...my, my, it's really voluminous, like an encyclopedia. sometimes it touches on sensitive issues and can be political. hmmm, i'll just stay away from it. quite unlike when we chat/discuss/argue/defend/debunk or trash talk about badminton stuffs. man, you guys must tread carefully.

p.s.2. bah kut teh huh? how about chicken kut tek or beef kut teh, even fish kut teh? is there such a thing? or it just don't taste like pork kut teh? i suppose when you refer to bah, it must be pork?

[Ferrerkiko]

Yeah bro, i agreed with u, I hope to get more feedback from bros here on N90 & N50 from now on !

[staiger]

There prob a new version of all the N-series in April 2010 I been told !

Guess you are right on the choice of N50 for FHF. Nice analogy there with tennis....does ring a bell to me
As for our Malaysian chat ...well let me says this is kinda "normal" in our day to day life over here. But you are right, political and sensitive issues shall be stayed out in this forum. No worries, our Mods are doing a great job watching all of us from the "above"
As for Bah kut teh...there is only pork based. No beef, or fish..... Come Malaysia and try it when you have a chance. Lots of my French, UK, Japs, etc colleagues loves them to bits.

looks like FERRERKIKO has finally decided on ln n90. tks for tckang starting this LN fan club. See, it is beneficial with the aid of foresight & hindsight by reading postings here at BadmintonCentral, both constructive and otherwise.

It's just for sharing and open to all Li Ning fans.

There prob a new version of all the N-series in April 2010 I been told !

New N series and a lot of other series rackets, and new bags will be launched 1st Jan 2010 in China. Thereafter, it will slowly be launched out in other countries.
So, stay tuned.
The new N90 and N50 looks nice ......so is the new 6/9 rackets bag

[MetalOrange]

tckang,

what are you saying man? new n90 and n50? the whole thing?

hold on a second, you mean it's just a paintjob? otherwise the series number should have changed as well?

MetalOrange

p.s. you frequent wangfujing on weekends? reason being, it's the only place i like to come back and again...lots of happenin' scene?

[takumifujiwara]

MetalOrange,

At this point I think we can assume its new N90 and N50

Why? Cause they names it N90-II and N50-II. Speaking of paintjob, yes they do have new paintjob as well

isn't it weird? n90-II and n50-II? kinda sounds like cameras or guns to me...mark II, mark III.

hmm. maybe you are reading to much into a name.. if you look at cars the VW Golf 2009 is not really the same car as the Golf-1 1974 :-).. same goes with todays porce 911 etc.. a racket name is reaaly nothing but a name....

Bros: let's discuss and review N90 here: I heard quite a few feedback here saying N90 and even shop sellers of rackets says Li ning N90 is very stiff and too heavy to use.

I think this is nonsense, i have to say sorry , if i offended some badminton fans here. If N90 is too stiff and heavy to use , why is it i saw in the pictures of french open , the china woman doubles are using it ,, are we man weaker than woman ??

Are you weaker than Chinese WD players? Yes, obviously. They'll kick our butts just as fast as a CHN MD player.

It's obviously modelled around the AT700....so it's moderate stiffness and heavy head. If some of us still use 2U, or add lead taper everywhere, or us the Panda Power ultra, it's fine....don't believe what the shop keeper says, though your rational is pretty flawed too.

[Ferrerkiko]

Bro: u make me laugh when u say we man are weaker than chinese ladies...
