The rackets are classified into "Woods" , "Flame" , "Storm" and "Rocks" ,
all inspired from four character proverbs in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Click on
the individual rackets for more information. Our Opinion of the range: This is a premium,
high
end range which is about to change the badminton world forever, especially with world champion Lin Dan using it Li-Ning is
already massive in the Far East. It looks to be marketing coup for Li-Ning to be sponsoring the Chinese National Team, given the results at the
World Badminton Championships and the expected results at the Olympic Games 2012. Be the first in the UK to own one of these rackets. Watch out
for those fakes on some bidding websites though!

How to choose a Li-Ning Badminton Racket. Here's a graph that charts current Yonex rackets according to their balance and repulsion/hold behaviour.
Head Heavy or Head Light Balance: Choose head heavy rackets for powerful attacking shots, especially on smashes from the back of the court and consistent clears.
Choose headlight balance for faster swing and greater control.
Repulsion or Hold: The other scale indicates rackets that "hold" (CONTROL) the energy on contact with the shuttle and release it like an arrow allowing pin point accuracy
and on the other end of the scale, (repulsion POWER) rackets that distort less on strike for cleaner and more powerful shots.
