    Mostly on badmintoncn and other forums which unfortunately aren't in english
    I tried looking for specific posts, but the badmintoncn community is way too active and posts get buried real quick :(

    What I can say though is TKF is currently bombarding badmintoncn ever since it's release which is overshadowing every single other racquet.

    Interesting.. Because tkf doesn't get too much attention here.

    there's actually heaps of comparisons between the n90iv and tkf on badmintoncn
    was quite surprised when I saw the tkf was more favourable than the n90iv considering how the overall community over there despise the new victor racquets due to the sinking grommet issue
    recommendation is to always buy the 3u if possible, 4u if you really cannot handle 3u racquets but never 5u - better off getting another racquet

    Has anyone tried the N90iv to be able to give some more details on the racquet? Looking for any info and comparison with N90, N90iii, and/or ZF2. Stiffness, head heaviness, general feel etc.

    Ive been using my n90iv for about 3 months strung with aerobite at 26x28lbs and love it!

    Compared to my n9ii it is definitely less stiff and head heavy. Very forgiving sweet spot and very fast. Easy on my elbows too which is great.

    However i thought the shape looked very familiar so i took out my nanospeed 9000 to compare - very similar head shape and balance. I then restrung the ns9000 and had a go with it. They both felt very similar! Although i felt that the ns9000 had more vibrations.

    After so many years i have come full circle and am back with my nanospeed lol!

    Thanks. So it's faster than N9ii? I actually thought it was a singles racquet and that it was stiffer. Nothing from LN seems stiff enough.

    It‘s the stiffest from Li Ning I know. Don‘t think it‘s particularly fast, though.

    But the previous poster just said it's less stiff than N9ii and less head heavy. Isn't the N9ii quite flexible and suitable more so for doubles?

    It's been a while since I've used both, but that's what I recall.

    Would you be able to give me an idea on which LN racquet is most stiff and head heavy? Is the original N90 the most singles oriented racquet?

    N55III is the most head-heavy racket. High-end that is. There are a few cheap low-end rackets that are extremely head-heavy but ridiculously light. N9II or N90IV are the stiffest.

    I don't think I can get the N55iii here. My options are N99, N90, N90iii, N90iv, N7ii, N9ii and N80ii. Quite frankly I've no idea which one I want to take the plunge on. Currently using DZS and zf2 in 3U, dzs for doubles, zf2 for singles. I want to try something that's stiff and head heavy, singles oriented, but usable in doubles. Some flex is ok but for example the info on N90iv says bp is 292mm. That's just too head light for me I think. Any input appreciated as I really can only take the plunge on one :(
