Description
Li-Ning Technology
Wing Stabilizer - Introducing aviation technology to control the frame restoration precisely and restrain shake resulting from vibration waves. Li-Ning Wing Stabilize System could improve the anti-torsion performance and bring a quick, exact and stable second stroke.
Dynamic-Optimum Frame - The sweet-spot extends upwards and the hitting point is moved higher, enlarging the sweet-spot area for smashing and defending. The hitting velocity is also improved considerably with the widened stringing area and increased bounce strength.
Aero Tec-Beam System - Based on aerodynamics, support of advanced calculation and gathering practicing data, the racket frame has extremely an extremely low drag coefficient and high intensity to provide maximum speed and improve players' performance in various shots.
TB-Nano - The nanometer technology combines the carbon fiber and resin more closely, which provides better elasticity, stability and durability, and brings you a more powerful striking.
Ultra Carbon - The racket made of ultra strong material has higher strength and rigidity. It avoids frame deformation and twisting, provides you a more stable and accurate attack point.
UHB Shaft - Cutting-edge technological, combined with real data collected from player practice, optimised shaft performance through continuous management. The racket shaft with frontal bending point is accomplished, greatly improving smash performance.
