The Li-Ning Axforce 80 4U Badminton Racket is engineered for precision, power, and speed, offering players an exceptional blend of advanced technology and high-performance materials. As part of the renowned AXFORCE series, this racket features Li-Ning's top-of-the-line innovations, designed to elevate your game to the next level.
With a head-heavy balance and a higher balance point of 302mm, the Axforce 80 is built to deliver explosive power and aggressive smashes. The racket's weight of 4U (84 - 86 grams) provides an optimal mix of stability and maneuverability, ensuring that every shot is executed with precision while maintaining fast reflexes for quick returns. The slim 6.6mm medium flex shaft offers a smooth flex point, creating enhanced control and a responsive feel on every strike.
A key highlight of the Axforce 80 is its integration of cutting-edge Li-Ning technologies. The Tec Tonic System and Stabilized Torsion Angle work together to improve the racket's torsional stability, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency with every shot. The UHB Shaft design enhances the racket’s flexibility, offering a faster rebound and improved overall performance. Additionally, the Wing Stabilizer technology improves racket balance, while the Cubic Locking system reinforces its frame, reducing unwanted vibrations during play.
The incorporation of military-grade carbon fiber materials makes the Axforce 80 exceptionally durable and lightweight, while the innovative Hot Melt technology enhances the racket's structural integrity and overall strength. The DF Shock Absorption System further minimizes shock during impact, providing a smoother and more controlled hitting experience.
Designed for advanced players who seek a high-speed, powerful racket, the Axforce 80 4U excels in both offensive and defensive play. Whether executing swift drives or powerful smashes, this racket’s design helps channel your energy into each shot, making it a formidable tool on the court. The racket also comes with a G5 grip size (Extra Small), measuring 3 1/8" or 79.4mm, ensuring a snug fit for players who prefer a tighter grip for enhanced control.
With a length of 675mm and a grip length of 200mm, the Li-Ning Axforce 80 4U Badminton Racket is an elite choice for players who demand nothing less than excellence from their equipment.

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.:
