Li-Ning Technology
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 practising 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.
Stabilised Torsion Angle- STA improves the torsion resistance performance of the racket, stabilising the frame quickly even when hitting away from the sweet-point. This helps to create high-quality strikes, making your attack more effective.
Cubic Locking- Cubic grommet locked within the slim groove is more stable and provides extra protection for the string, effectively absorbing shock to get an accurate placement, improving controlling performance.
