    My first Li-Ning product purchase. Rather unexpected I would say. 2nd last picture with some of my Louis Vuitton personal items and I would say the Li-Ning set doesn’t look out of place at all.

    Racquet weight 97-98g strung with the provided strings in the set at 28 lbs, 2 knots and also the provided overgrip was utilised.

    I think the picture show it very clearly with the digital scale ;). Actually it was hovering between 97-98 but when I snapped the picture, it showed 98.

    Anyone can be lucky if he/she just walk into the store and get it ;). By the way I am lousy at, and definitely not qualified to write reviews. We will just have to wait for another individual to buy a set and write one :(.

    Dear Ara,

    First of all congrats and i envy you, no no no i should say i envy your money making ability to buy so much baddy stuff including this one. :D
    As for your humble claim that you are not that good in reviewing rackets, myself, Licin, and also Arief who are all in Beijing are more than happy to write a review on behalf of you provided you pass your N90II to Arief to bring back to Beijing.
    As for the returning of racket....rest assured we will take VERY good care of it while it is in Beijing with us.......:p :p :p

    I wouldn't mind doing that at all.. seriously. You guys can have a go at it and do some comparison with the original N90 and the other N series. I did carry and have a feel of both racquets the original N90 and this Ltd edition but couldn't tell the difference. Most probably I was in a daze then after burning that big hole in my wallet :crying:. I wouldn't even able to tell the difference between a badminton and a tennis racquet.

    Then one of you guys should get the N90II to do the comparison with this limited edition and also compare the N90.

    I think after this purchase I should abstain myself from buying racquets for a couple of years :p.

    Oops.. I will do this after the Arc 100 Ltd as I made an enquiry today and made a tentative pre-order for the set also :crying:.

    opening a museum soon? ;)

    have to say that the packaging is very nice. if i were to buy a set like that, it will be tough to decide if i want to use it or just display it.

    Ooh the reason I bought it is definitely to play it :). If I have to put it in a showcase and left it untouch I wouldn't buy it at all. The cost would be too prohibitive to do that. A good example are my model trains which I haven't touched for years and a lot of them are collectors items. I have spent much more on them than on my badminton stuff.

    But kwun I am sure you have a sizeable number of racquets yourself ;).

    I want to try this racket REAL bad. So curious as to how a N90 plays compares to the AT700.

    I have 2 AT700LTDs that I love a ton, but may not be able to resist shelling out for a N90II package...

    Been trying to buy the N90 online here in Taiwan, but everyone is really paranoid about fakes and such, with a N90IILTD no such worries ;)

    If you buy N90 from mybadmintonstore or something you wont have to worry about fakes, and you dont have to shell out 3x that price for the collector set, lol
