The Li-Ning Axforce 90 Tiger Max badminton racket is a premium offering in the Axforce series, designed for players who demand precision, power, and advanced technology. With a head-heavy balance point of 302mm, this racket is engineered to deliver explosive power on every shot, enhancing your attacking game. The higher balance point shifts more of the weight towards the head of the racket, which helps transfer maximum force into the shuttle for lethal smashes and sharp clears. This unique design is ideal for aggressive players who rely on fast, dynamic play.
The frame is constructed with military-grade carbon fiber, ensuring exceptional durability and strength while keeping the racket light and responsive. The 6.6mm medium flex shaft offers a perfect blend of flexibility and control, allowing for powerful returns while maintaining accuracy in fast-paced rallies. Li-Ning's cutting-edge technology enhances the racket’s performance, with features such as the Tec Tonic System, Wing Stabilizer, and Stabilized Torsion Angle. These innovations work together to improve stability and torsion control, making every shot feel smoother and more controlled, even at the highest speeds.
The UHB Shaft further elevates the racket’s performance, providing enhanced flexibility and faster response times. Meanwhile, the TB Nano and Hot Melt technologies reinforce the structure of the racket, adding resilience without sacrificing speed or manoeuvrability. The Cubic Locking system adds an additional layer of durability, while the DF Shock Absorption System significantly reduces vibration, ensuring a comfortable grip and a smooth, controlled hit every time.
The FRTP (Fast Rebound Technology Polymer) engineering incorporated into the racket makes it incredibly responsive, allowing the shaft to revert quickly to its original shape after each strike, further enhancing your ability to generate power and speed with less effort. This responsive nature is key for players looking to execute rapid attacks and counterattacks with ease.
Designed with a grip size of G5 (Extra Small – 3 1/8"/79.4mm), the racket fits comfortably in your hand, allowing for precise control and minimal slippage during intense gameplay. The overall length of 675mm ensures a balanced reach, while the 180mm grip length offers a snug fit for players who prefer a compact, quick maneuvering feel. With a maximum tension of 31 lbs both vertically and horizontally, the Axforce 90 Tiger Max offers impressive string tension capabilities, giving you the flexibility to tailor the racket's stringing to your specific playing style.
Whether you're smashing from the backcourt or driving through the net, the Li-Ning Axforce 90 Tiger Max badminton racket offers the perfect combination of power, precision, and stability to take your game to the next level. Ideal for competitive and advanced players, it provides the confidence needed to dominate the court.

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.:
