Cai Yun is not using N33 (white color), but the one which is designed for him is blue color .... (forget the name). I just swing (without string) all the Li Ning hi-end product today during MILO Cup in Indonesia, because the owner of Sport Hall has all the high-end end of Li Ning rackets. Let me post pictures of racquets later ... I have played using the N33 (Wang Lin, white color), and to me it is a even-balance racquet. You need a time to master it before you get the feel. Most people who tried this N33 has similar opinion that you need time, but when you get the feeling, only one word "enak" means "good".
Here are the pictures which I took over the weekend during the MILO Cup at Pekanbaru Indonesia : and the shop owner's child holding Li Ning racquets (N90 and N33) :
wow, those look. nice-ish. maybe yonex has more experience with these things. though i admit, the rocks N-? looks quite nice.
Now i wonder why Li ning is already in Indonesia, and why not selling in Singapore shop,, isnt Singapore a more advance country than Indonesia in term of fashion and sports?
Singapore's market too small. How to beat Indonesia? And, which country is stronger in badminton arena?
chaijk is right. badminton is a huge sport in Indonesia. there are various badminton brands in indonesia which are not available in singapore eg. flypower, astec etc
Li Ning is not available in Indonesia officially till July 2009 according to one source, and Singapore may get it first during Singapore Open 2009 Super Series next week. These high-ends Li Ning were purchased before Sudirman Cup 2009 directly from Li Ning
The rackets are really waaaaaaay over price... They can buy rackets from Yonex (or Victor) and paint the logo on and still make a fortune! Just look at the "swim suit" they sponsor the Chinese badminton team at the S Cup.... They are selling them @ BBe Sport for RMB799!! (SWEAT Shirt only)
We should know that badminton racquet prices are sponsor-driven. That was how Yonex came up from a nobody many years ago. Now it is Li Ning's turn. Of course Li Ning's racquets must be the most expensive in the world, for after all China is the strongest team in the world, by a wide margin. It will be a matter of time before Victor racquets will sell at prices higher than Yonex's.
li ning racket check this out, http://intl.li-ning.com/badminton/ li ning is using new terminology for weight and size, sucks.
Got my N70 this morning, posted some pics of it under the racket pics... Probably won't have a chance to try it til next week :crying: Initial thoughts, the paint finish is quite smooth, I have NS9900 and ARC 10 but I must say in terms of smoothness of the paint finish, the N70 takes the cake... Will probably have some more feedback after I try it, right now thinking whether i need to restring it or not due to miscommunication with the shop in china(they strung my racket instead of putting the pack of strings in )
Bro Jasonvan : Now u re my hero, u must have spend a bomb to buy Li ning N70,, where u buy and how much u bought it ??
Had a chance to play with my n70 yesterday and a person I've never played with clashed it both of us reaching for a drop but I was the gu in front.... now there's small paint chip grrrr.... :crying: Anyways, on to the review, racket feels a bit like my Arc 10, clears are relatively easy, I did find that there's a bit more power when I hit the sweet spot, feels a little bit head heavy but not much, drops are very very good and control is excellent on this racket, I'm not a very good smasher so I can't really comment much on the smash itself but judging from how my clears and drops are I would think it should be decent at smashes. My arms did feel tired after playing but I don't know if it's due to the racket or due to me playing hockey right before badminton
