Badminton Racket Li-Ning Axforce 80 Light 5U
The Li-Ning Axforce 80 Light is the badminton racket designed for high-level players who want the power of the Axforce series in an ultra-light format. In its 5U version (approximately 78-80g), it offers a rare combination: smash power + lightness + maneuverability — all from Li-Ning, the official brand of many world champions.
The Axforce series: Li-Ning's answer to the Astrox series
Li-Ning's Axforce range directly competes with Yonex's Astrox series. Built for offensive players who love to smash, the Axforce series is distinguished by its Carbon Nanotube and Dynamic Optimum Frame technologies, which maximize energy transfer with each impact. The Light (5U) version adds extra lightness, facilitating accelerations at the end of the swing.
Technical specifications
- Weight: 5U (79-80g) — light
- Balance: Head-heavy — hitting power
- Flexibility: Medium-stiff to stiff
- Material: Carbon Nanotube + High Modulus Carbon
- Unstrung
- For: Advanced to expert players, smashers looking for lightness
DC.Sports Stringing Advice
On a light, head-heavy racket like the Axforce 80 Light, you can afford a high tension without making the whole setup too heavy:
- Recommended: Li-Ning No.1 or Yonex BG66 Ultimax — tension 11-12 kg. Thin and responsive string that maximizes shuttle repulsion and precision.
- Power: Yonex NBG99 — tension 11 kg. To amplify smashes without overloading the light frame.
- Budget: Yonex BG65 — tension 10 kg. Durable, accessible, good for starting with this racket.
