The weapon of choice for 2018 World Mens Doubles Champions Liu Yuchen (China). The Aeronaut 8000 badminton racket features a flexible shaft combined with an aerodynamic frame for rear court power, speed and accuracy

Aeronaut Badminton Racket Technology is geared towards ultimate precision and control. A unique air-stream channel integrated into the racket head reduces air resistance which helps to generate faster shuttlecock speeds. It’s suitable for players looking for the best control with little to no sacrifice in power.

FEATURES:

Wing Stabiliser - Aviation technology that stabilises frame vibration to improve comfort, control and racket recovery.

TB-Nano - Designed for improved power transfer, nanometer technology binds carbon-fiber and resin more tightly, allowing grater stability, elasticity and durability.

Dynamic-Optimum Frame - This unique head-design, enlarges the sweet-spot of the racket. It allows for more consistent and higher hitting velocity, without sacrificing durability.

Hot Melt - The resin distributed more uniformly and closely combined with the carbon fibre by using the Hot Melt. It improves the strength and provides the same excellent using experience.

Cubic Locking - Cubic grommet locked within the slim groove is more stable and could provide extra protection for string, effectively absorb shock to get an accurate placement, improve controlling performance.

MPCF Reinforcing Tech - Multi-layer carbon fibres combine with exquisite handicraft to strengthen the racket whilst ensuring there are no wrinkles in the material during machine processing. This improves racket perfromance and durability

Aero Tec-Beam System - Based on aerodynamics, support of advanced calculation and gathering practising data, the racket frame has an extremely low drag coefficient and high intensity to provide maximum speed and improve players' performance in various shots.

FATP Tech - By changing the shaft flex point, quickening rebound speed, rackets featuring FATP return to position quickly and ready for the continuous attack

Stabilised Elastic Shaft - Aramid fiber is a high modulus, high strength material with good elasticity and toughness. It's the main material in helmets and body armour. The slim shaft, filled with aramid fiber helps to reduce vibrations that could cause sports injuries.

Bio Inner Core - Different from traditional shafts, Li-Ning has introduced the cone-shaped racket shaft with patent. By moving up the beding point of the shaft they have managed to increase flexibility and enhance shot control.

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.

*Please note that all Li-Ning rackets require a custom restring as they are not strung by the manufacturer.

BUYING GUIDE

Badminton Rackets Buying Guide

The key question to ask firstly is what style of player are you, or what type of player do you want to become?

Power Attacking
All Round
Fast Reactions to Rallies
Control and Touch, by moving players around the court to create space

As a general guide for your playing style below is the kind of racket you'll want to look at purchasing:

Playing Style	Racket Balance	Racket Flexibility	Racket Weight
Power Attacking	Head Heavy	Stiff	85g – 89g (3U)
All Round	Balanced	Medium	80g – 84g (4U)
Speed & Fast Reactions	Head Light	Medium	79g or below (5U and up)
Control & Touch	Head Light	Hi Flex	79g or below (5U and up)

In simple terms is means this:
Player with Explosive Backswing Hitting = Stiffer Shaft needed as it'll unload faster for more power.
Player with Slower Backswing Hitting = More Flexible Shaft needed so that it'll unload fully at impact.

If you're still unsure what to choose for yourself, we'd recommend going for a medium flex badminton racket to minimise the chances of choosing incorrectly what's right for you.

Weight:

Weight can make a real difference to reaction speeds, and power behind the hit of a shuttle. Too light a racket and it won't go far or powerful enough. However too heavy a racket and you'll find you'll be reacting too slow in fast flat rallies, where reaction speed is everything.:

Most rackets are weighted around 3U (85-89g) or 4U (80-84g), this is because it's a good weight balance for players to hit hard and also be able to react fast too.:

Typically singles players will use heavier rackets 3U (85-89g), this provides the player with more stability and accuracy, with a little more weight for power behind it, without compromising on racket speed too much, as quick racket head speed isn't needed as much in the singles game:

Doubles players however will usually want lighter rackets, the most popular weight for this being 4U (80-84g), this is because the Badminton Racket will offer more speed and quicker reactions in around the net and for defence against smashes.:

Racket Strings Used & Tension:

Again like the grip, this is customisable on any racket. However do look out for racket tension ranges on the product as this could potentially limit your ability to have the racket strung at a desired tension.:

For a full breakdown on strings and tensions, see our buying guide specifically on this.:

To put it simply however, if you're unsure what to choose when buying a racket you like, either go for the “Original Strings” option or “Stringers Professional Decision” for which we'll choose the string that best suits getting the maximum performance out of the racket for you.:
