I'm not familiar with any of those rackets, I'm quite fond of the N50 III - a slightly head heavy but flexible racket with good aerodynamics. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but I don't know enough to advise you.
It's alright, I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat where they don't know enough to advise you. Don't want you to feel like you're being ignored
Not a lot of people on here have got much experience with "low-end" to mid-range rackets. That's probably why...
Try the Turbo 7TD. It is very aerodynamic and fast but still has solid power with medium flex. Great all around racket based on the top-end N7.
I have been using N90iii stype for quite some time now. I traditionally started out with Arc10 -> VT80 -> Arc 11 and found I wanted something that was a bit head heavy like the VT80 but swung fast like the arc 11. N90iii was too heavy and slow for me but found the S-type was a really good fit. Its one of the most if not the most expensive one in the lining product line but found that it really suits my style and love control, swing speed and weight of the racket. I actually prefer the whippy noodle feel because I dont require as much force to generate power. Having been a long time yonex lover I found their new stuff was really subpar and just wanted to introduce new rackets for the sake of it. I negotiated with my local vendor for get multiple and will have 3 to play for tourneys. I really recommend working with your local vendor to see if there is anything they can do. At the time I bought mine it retailed for $300 CAD and I negotiated to $195 string included). I string it at 28lbs with BG 80. Really solid setup. For anyone wanting to give lining a shot I really recommend the N series or trying out any of the stuff without being too worried about the quality or how it compares with other major brands. I actually came on here to look at info for the N99 because Ive been looking for a good plastic racket and will definitely try it out. Thanks for all the info otherwise guys,
Yes, I have been waiting for someone to test the N99. I currantly use the N90 ii, and I find it very solid, with a great feel to it. I think the N99 will have more flex and be more aerodynamic. It sounds promising
I haven't used both N80 or N50-3 but seems like you are right. N80 is 295mm bp and n50-3 is 298mm on the guide. Funny why N7 is so low also, confusing chart!
Every time I think that I have understood some basics about the Li-Ning racket lineup, there are thing like that chart popping up and I need to start from scratch again.... why on earth is it so complicated for the manufacturer itself to make such a (useful) diagram and actually showing valid data?! It's not that hard to do, is it? And why are the -I, -II and -III versions of the same racket so different in specs? Is it their true intention to cause maximum confusion for their buyers?!
