    Catherine is selling 2 of them in the buy & sell forum, she has obviously spent lots of time with them and can offer some penetrating insight.

    Oh well, I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later. Always amusing to see my lack of self-control regarding new rackets.

    Nice! So what is the balance point and where did you get one?

    I got mine from RacquetForce. The balance point without strings and original grip + plastic is around 290-292 mm.

    I don't really need to say anything to that, do I?

    So good to see that there are people around with even less self control...

    Congrats on your new racket. Really curious to hear the wet specs (had weight please!) and how it actually plays. Paint job and color scheme is again sensational. A bit like a Z-Speed, but with class.

    That I'm not sure where it will land strung.
    My guess would be close to 42g which would be a tad above my preferred range. But let's see...

    After stringing the N90-4 I have to say it has one of the best - if not the best - finishing I‘ve ever seen. Li-Ning paintjobs are improving with every high-end racket they release it seems. Take a look and some notes Yonex, ahem Astrox ahem. :D

    Very beautiful weapon. The paint job and finishing is top notch, the best at the moment IMO.

    Chen long also using this racket in China Open 2017. Means this racket can be fit for single and double play. Please share your opinion how it play on court.

    How come you didn't get the premium racket cover?!

    I always found LN to be very inconsistent with the distribution of their racquet covers.
    This was a common topic of discussion when people at my club buy a LN racquet that is supposed to come with the premium case but instead gets the soft cloth bag (myself included).

    That aside, the N90IV is shipped with a newly designed cover

    Also, some received a special promo N90IV backpack as part of an early bird pre-order gift

    I don't know. But tbh I don't really care about the racket covers, as long as the racket is genuine.
