Even if I can't watch the two pictures (no permission to view that media album, neither through tapatalk nor logged in by browser), I'd like to add that the N99 is far, far, far from having a noodle-ish shaft. During the time I had with it, it felt like one of the stiffest rackets I had played to date. Definitely not far away from the ZF2 IMO. And that was exactly the reason why I ditched it in the end - that beauty was just too demanding for me.
Not my experience at all, N55-iii was lighter than the ZF and not flexible at all. Not as stiff as the ZF2, but stiffest of the 3rd gen Li Ning range.
I found the N55-ii more enjoyable, not quite as heavy as the N90-iii and stiffer, which made it more controlled and manoeuvrable.

Their spec is pretty close to what I experienced personally. The ZFII has a stiffness rating of 55 mm vs a rating of 64 mm for the N55-III. The balance point is also 2mm heavier for the N55-III (320mm vs 318mm).
Hmm... interesting observation. Maybe it's just me. It even feels flexible when I bend it, and the smash feels kind of mushy . You should be able to see the pictures now.
The stiffness I agreed with, so I dont quite understand why you post that redundant argument. The balance point alone is a useless measurement, only combined with the weight does it say sth
I saw you mentioned that the N55-III was " not flexible at all " when it is rated as being very flexible. Both the ZFII and almost all N-series Li-Ning racquets are 3U, so I'm not sure what you mean here.
Jesus Christ. BP times weight is the actual "weight" (it's some sort of momentum, I'm not sure of the translation though). A 1g difference is more important than 3mm BP difference, for example. There is variance for all rackets, and 3U is just a weight range (that is not even being kept at times, i.e. there are 84g and 91g 3U rackets). Also, in the past the measurements from that site haven't been very reliable... And the N55-iii is not rated as very flexible. Not sure what you're trying to pull here.
Hi just wondering if the N55 III is used by anyone here. Just got one through trade, if it's not that great I'll have to find a way to get rid of it. Thank you!!
I'm currently using the Bravesword 11 and n50III, thinking of getting either the n7II or n9II. Which one would be better (I'm a doubles player but both racquets are used in doubles)? I read a review stating that n7II is more forgiving in drives while the n9II is more forgiving in smashes. I want the n7II but the review stated that for its smash to be as powerful as the n9II, you have to know how to instantaneously smash, an instant release of power, which is quite difficult.... The review I read is found here (in chinese): http://sanwen8.cn/p/427wCgn.html
Wait, what? There is no N7II, nor N9II, just N9 or N7. Maybe you mean N90 II? If that's the case: N90II is really head heavy and really really stiff, unlike the Bravesword. So I'f youre looking for a similar racket, im not sure if that's the right one.
Ok sorry, forget what I just said^^ Really haven't seen these two in any store here nor read anything about them. When did they get released?
Just got this. Look at that sexy beast. Heavier than my N50III and Bravesword 11. Looks like I need sometime to get used to it.
