Someone is definitely taking cues from some other company, regardless it looks great with the EVA colorway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Considering 88DP and 88SP Chinese national team color scheme are available China only and they are limited editions, this Li Ning Halbertec 9000 is the way to go for fans of E.V.A.
Wow.....my favourite colour scheme. Have the 88DP Chinese team and this Halbertec 9000 looks amazing. Any idea on release dates?
What a beautiful colour, is it only available to china national team? Or can it be purchased only in china?
Do we know any specs or details of this racket or how it compares to Halbertec 8000? I was potentially interested in buying Halbertec 8000 next month
I was right then . . . was watching Daniel Marthin at finals of Hongkong Open last week and left wondering what racket did he use because it was so full of green and purple, got a feeling it must have been a halbertec series due the dual color signature strangely enough, I dont think Marthin was very fond of it, he changed back to his turbocharging/3dcalibar in the middle of the match, lol
i might be mistaken or superstitious but it looks like he lost noticeable amount of firepower from the back court while gaining speed-control in high speed flat exchanges
So..... no reviews about this racket so far? Suddenly Li Ning pops up multiple Halbertec in short space of time.... 2000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 9000....
yeah looks like a bit head-heavier version of 8000 with a slimmer shaft and a tad less stiff because of that (rated mid-stiff by li-ning, i believe). Sounds interesting but high price as usual and only pre-order in thailand for now...
VN badminton posted a review, with measurements - for 4U weight 84.5 BP 296mm swing weight 85.8 stiffness 7.7 - stiff quite decent swing weight with a rather low BP - promising combination
Quick review of the 4u version, 27lbs. It's noticeably stiff (coming from an N9II and other current 3U nanoflare/astrox rackets). Not much head-weight to compensate and help bend the shaft which makes it difficult during drive, defense or late scenarios to get a good length. It can be quite challenging to generate enough power so I'd advise it only for more advanced players. Sweet spot is also very small, like a compact frame racket During full smash, you get a really whippy/soft sensation which is quite the opposite of what you would expect actually. The sound is almost too good, it feels like the biggest smash ever though the shuttle is lacking weight (slows down rapidly) compared to other 3u/head-heavy racket lines. Pros : Even-balance and stiffness makes for a great control racket (variety, quality of drops, slices, ...) Cons : Difficult to generate power
New limited edition Halbertec 9000 set for the Olympics. Priced at 3999RMB. New colour scheme, the usual ''limited edition'' CHINA endcap and a few extra goodies.
I will say I agree with this (mostly). Coming from an Arcsaber 11pro, I kind of expected essentially a stiffer Arc 11 pro but it's kind of hard to describe. It's definitely stiffer, but for some reason I find generating power a LOT easier than the 11pro (to the point where I was spraying a heck of a lot of my shots out in to space) and the directional control is a lot easier/better too. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but I've noticed that the 9000 has a sort of strip thing at the top of the head, kind of like the control assist bumper on the 11pro. No idea what it is, since Li Ning never does any actual marketing. And the handle and cone also feel pretty long as well, to the point where I just don't like to touch the cone. Which is strange because when I put them side by side, the handle of the 11pro is actually longer, but the cone of the 9000 is longer. I'm not CKYew, so no measurements unfortunately. Strung with Exbolt 63 @ 27lbs/12.2KG
Kind of remembering how much I hate forums, since apparently uploading pictures is just beyond me I guess
