    [softer] N77<N33<N50=N50II<N70<N55<N90<N90II [stiffer]

    Please note that I don't own the N77 and N33 and that my judgement of them might be off. The N50II and N70 feel softer than the N50 when actually swinging them, as the head heavier balance makes bending the shaft easier.

    Hi, I just bought a li ning racket, but not the N series. The racket is li ning windstorm 680. Does anybody know about this racket? This racket not included the 16 digit code, so are this racket is original li ning racket?

    Hey, yes I have a racket that passed the code check. Bought an N50 a while back on ebay, but was lazy to get some pictures. I got a real N50 from sohubuy.com and I compared the two rackets and you'll see differences. I'll see if I can post pictures here soon to let you guys check it out. I'll try to make it as detailed as possible, although I don't have the cardboard backing anymore.

    I suggest you don't buy from badmintonshoponline, not because their products are fake, but that they have slow shipping and takes them weeks to a month to answer your question. I usually go to sohubuy, although they don't regularly update their products, but sohubuy has good customer service and does good stringing as well.

    I must say in my case the shipping wasn't slow - just average for that distance (HK-Germany). Their stringing was softer than asked for (probably to stay within warranty limits), and the customer service was okay, if not great. Disturbing was the lack of response on payment, no verification that the order or the money arrived, but they responded to mails and were informative and polite. Better than some German shops I've encountered...

    N50II is definitely not stiff. Medium and moderately head heavy, and very heavy overall...still faster than the N90, though.

    I guess you asked at a good time? I've had slow customer service with them, but try out sohubuy.com, it's a good website, really friendly and they do good stringing jobs.

    :D:D:D:D:D
    [head light] N77<N50<N33<N50II=<N55<N70=<N90II<N90 [head heavy] =< is very close, and as they're differently gripped, I cant measure it...N33 is not sure, could be a bit heavier. As someone's gonna ask anyway:

    [light] N77=<N33=<N90II=<N50=<N55=<N70<N90<N50II [heavy] weights are even closer, except N50II, which is really very heavy. This is more about feel than actual weight (never had them all without string and grip at the same time)...

    Haha Jackie, you know i'll ask the 3rd question. Anyway, thanks for the sharing. Its been helpful to me and maybe the others as well. By the way, why I never see you commenting on n30?

    I've never even held it in my hand... It's just like the Arc9, I know I couldn't bring myself to play with it anyways, so I haven't bothered testing it :D

    Nah, I just don't like it at all. I also wear yellow shoes which a few don't like, but that doesn't bother me - I love'em! :D

    Interesting - I was wondering when they'd release sth new in the N series. The information chart is not up-to-date though, Xu Chen uses the N55II, Chai Biao the N50II,.... but at least they don't promote the N33 and N77 with professional players anymore :)
    Anyone know how what the N60 and N65 are supposed to look/play like (specs)?
