    Hey all,

    Just got this racket at SGD180 with grip and Li Ning AP62 plus strings strung at 27 pounds. Gonna test it out on Tuesday.

    Anyone have experience with this racket on similar tension?

    I think apart from N80-TD, there is also Break-Free 80 Speed.

    So I tested the racket out a couple of days ago and bearing in mind my usual racket is a Yonex Ti10 (Purple), the Break-Free 80 Speed is quite interesting.
    Sweet spot seems smaller so some shots are simply magical while others end up being rubbish...
    Sound is amazing and bounce is damn nice.
    Smashing is great IF you have a good arm. If you're not a heavy hitter, 27 pounds might be a bit too tight.

    Overall, I cant judge this racket fairly yet... Will try it again next week and see if my opinions change.

    it's not that the sweetspot is smaller, you just mistime your shots. had some timing issues myself when started playing with n90-II.

    Actually, how many versions of the N80 are there? I see the origial N80, and N80TD, which is less head heavy and cheaper.

    What is the difference for the N80 Speed?

    Hi all

    Have been using the speed 80 almost a year n half...after that its broken...the upper frame snapped.

    In my opinion this racket performed well with me. The smash is good n quite good reflex. Though bcos of its head heavy it might bit late in response...but once u r familiar wit it, the action is good.

    I'm a bit hard hitter...so thats y it suits me well.

    Though...its hard to find it now here...miss my racket

    Anybody from Msia tried the Li Ning 360 Break Free 80 Ex or 80 Speed range? Can't seem to find much info about the spec and range comparison with other Li Ning rackets.

    Seeking some enlightenment. Thank you.

    Hi...i have been using this racket for almost 2 years. Its quite superb actually for a hard hitter player as i am one of those one. Its suits me perfectly. The only problem with head heavy racket is that when sometimes u are tired the response is not so good. So far i have no problem with it.

    I hav tried few of other head heavy racket. Buyed a victor onigiri, which is heavier head than 80 speed, but i cannot cope well. The flex is soft, with heavy head cramped up my hand.

    Overall for me, 80 speed is for power, medium flex makes it easier to play on net. I am very satisfied with what i hav now, and eventually i bought 2 piece of 80 speed
