    true, but i would still love to go into a store and feel the racket before bying it. it really makes a huge difference sometimes. for eksample i bought a forza racket online (amour controle) a couple of years ago, and when i got it, i felt right away that it wasn't the racket for me. you can see a lot from the numbers, but its impossible to write down the exact fell of the racket.

    The N90 has a heavy feel, much like the AT-700.
    The N50 is great but is too light for my taste :p

    with that investment on N90, i do believe you are forced to love N90. :p

    from the specs, N50 maybe suitable for me. been busy these couple of weeks, havent stop by at the shop to check it out. :(

    Last Wednesday, I had the opportunity to try all the top Li Ning racquets.
    If I were presented a choice, I'd still pick the N90 Woods over the others :p

    From what i see of the Li ning chart for Li ning rackets at world of sports, N 50 racket is the heaviest with 89-90g without string!

    N50

    Got a N50 and tested. Initial feel likes the Arc10. The difference stands out after during the games.

    Net play is accurate with little effort. String with BG80 and 25lbs. The bounce is good.

    Delivers a powerful shot to end court.

    Overall, a pleasant surprise. The N50 turns up sturdy and the feel during the match is robust.

    Decided to get a N90 too. Cheers.

    Latest info to share with Singapore badminton fans here: 10 & 10 shop is selling Li ning string now. Max effect of power play will be together with Li ning N-series racket with Li ning string.

    I had my N90 restrung with the Li Ning 101 string.
    Er, I can't say I'm very pleased with it.

    For one, the Li Ning string is too expensive (SGD 26).
    Secondly, the Yonex BG-66 feels much better (to me).

    He tried the Li Ning 101N (AXJD046) string as mentioned in his post. ;)

    I don't get the sizing for the handle...So S3 is bigger than S2?

    N90 is head heavier than arc10, and has a less stiffer shaft than arc10.

    i;ve compared one of my friend's n90 with my 2u-arc10.
    the swinging speed and acceleration of n90 and 2u-arc10 is quite similiar, which means n90 is head heavier because n90 is 3u.

    the shaft, i'd say that 2u-arc10's shaft is really stiff.
    n90 is a lot more flexible than arc10(even 3u arc10).

    overall, i feel n90's stiffness and head-heaviness is very similar to 3u-at700(new version)---- although a little heavy, but very friendly to use.


    considering n90 is designed to Lin Dan's taste, its similarity to at700 is quite reasonable.

    yes, S3 handle size is indeed bigger than S2.....W3 weight is also heavier than W2.
