Li Ning Rackets Fan Club :)

Speaking of @s_mair mentioning the 9000 lineup is confusing. I've used both the 9000 and the 9000C. Of the two I tried, they have either the same swing weight or very slightly the 9000 is higher. Which should be reversed.

If Li-Ning meant that to be a joke, then it would be hilarious.

i think Lining is trying to provide us racket that would fit for us perfectly in all aspect.
Like if we buy a racket but its to head heavy, well... Lining had less had heavy version. Or if you find a racket that feel to light then they had a bit heavier version.

I personally think that many people overrate the racket aspect especially this fine tuning.

Let's face it. Li Ning rackets are mostly in the 8.3-8.7 stiffness category. The racket with high balance points are mostly 4U and 5U. So I expect that 90% of their rackets lie in a dry headweight of 38-40g area. I think they try to give us the impression that they have something for everyone, but honestly it is nearly the same racket with a different name. I would appreciate if they make 70% less rackets and give us a yearly paintjob update instead of tons of rackets with different names. Totally confusing.

Edit: I approximated the head weights by calculation for the Calibar series. It's pretty clear that they might stretched 6 racket types (headweight and stiffness) within a variation to 15 different rackets.

They are cheaper compared to other LN models.

They are no cheaper than any of the other high end LN models... In any case, I have not looked at the marketing of the Tectonic series, or any blab about racquet technology. I just decided to test the demo and I just don't remember the last LN racquet that gave me such a nice feedback. I suggest that if anyone can demo it, give it a go.
 
If anyone else is curious I also calculated the 9000 series using the same formula. Rounded to .01

9000C - 38.85
9000 - 39.31
9000D - 40.01

So if this is accurate they're pretty off base with their naming scheme

Maybe they reach their good QC due sorting out each variation into boxes for each model before painting.

Yeah I always assumed that to be the case. Li Ning rates their racquets based on specific weights rather than ranges like other brands so I guess they just sort of have each weight range for each of their 3 (now 4 with tectonic) frame types.

I've said it before, but I always found it impressive that on the Calibar racquets they actually have a mark on the shaft exactly on the balance point. So far they're 3 for 3 on racquets I've checked for being accurate.

What kind of mark is it? I couldn't find it on my N80 II.

It's specifically on the Calibar ones. My N80ii doesn't have it either.

I can't take a photo of it right now, but basically when you check the balance point you'll see a line on the shaft that doesn't fit in with the paint

i have the tc75c...its super heavy lol for the first bit my shoulders were giving me issues...but now im fine and use it for doubles. now that i think about it, ive previously stated its sluggish for doubles but its not. because of the frame, its actually pretty quick. its just a bit of a strain to use...usually if im playing for more than 3 hours, ill switch to a lighter racquet...i actually ended up picking up a tc75 because of the sale on the canadian li ning site
