The Li-Ning BladeX Badminton Racket is built for players who demand power, speed, and precision in their game. Featuring Li-Ning’s Swing Weight Technology, the BladeX offers a head-light balance that allows for smooth weight transfer during shots, giving you an offensive edge and making your attacks more lethal. The racket is designed with a 6.8mm stiff flex shaft, providing enhanced stiffness for powerful shots while maintaining flexibility for fast, responsive movements. With various weight categories available and a maximum string tension of up to 31 lbs, the BladeX is built to adapt to your playing style, offering incredible control and power.
Crafted with high-modulus carbon fibre and Li-Ning’s Accele Tech platform, the BladeX delivers unmatched rebound performance, increasing the speed and power of your shots. The Accele Tech and Resile Shaft technologies combine to optimise the shaft’s flexibility and responsiveness, while the HDF Shock Absorption System reduces impact and vibration, enhancing comfort and minimising the risk of wrist and arm injuries. The racket’s performance is further boosted by Dynamic Optimum Frame technology, which widens the sweet spot, providing more forgiveness on off-centre hits and improving both attack and defence. The Aerotec Beam aerodynamic frame reduces air resistance, increasing swing speed and improving racket handling for quicker reactions during fast-paced rallies.
In addition, the BladeX Sonar is constructed with an Ultra Carbon structure, ensuring maximum strength and tensile strength for durability and consistent performance. The TB NANO technology integrated into the frame boosts power and responsiveness, while the highly elastic carbon fibre and Accele Tech fusion system work together to enhance rebound performance, accelerating the shuttlecock speed and improving shot accuracy. The result is a racket that excels in both precision and speed, making it perfect for players who value fast, aggressive play. Whether you're smashing or defending, the Li-Ning BladeX provides the speed, power, and accuracy you need to dominate the court.
Features:
Dynamic Optimum Frame - Increases the sweet spot for more forgiving off-centre hits.
TB NANO Technology - Provides incredible power and responsiveness.
Ultra Carbon - Maximum strength.
Aerotec Beam - An Aerodynamic frame, a frame cross-section designed so that air resistance is minimal. With minimal air resistance, the overall swing speed of the frame is improved, resulting in fast racket handling.
HDF Technology - Absorbs shocks and vibrations, improving control and reducing strain on the arm.

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.:
