Sonic Boom System

The Li-Ning Halbertec 8000 Badminton Racket is the latest addition to the prestigious Halbertec series, blending traditional inspiration with modern performance. Endorsed by badminton legend Fu Haifeng, this racket draws from the strength and precision of the Chinese ancient weapon, the halberd, and the fluidity of Tai Chi. Designed with a balanced structure that caters to both offence and defence, the Halbertec 8000 offers exceptional shuttle control on the court. Its striking pink and green colour scheme adds a sleek, contemporary touch, making it as visually impressive as it is functional. Available in both 3U (87-89 grams) and 4U editions, the racket offers players the versatility to choose the perfect weight for their playing style.

Crafted from military-grade carbon fibre, the Halbertec 8000 is built for durability and performance, with a hard flex that maximises power and precision. The 301mm balance point ensures optimal handling and control, while the G5 grip size provides a comfortable and secure hold. A premium thermal cover is included to protect your racket and keep it in peak condition. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an ambitious player, the Halbertec 8000 is designed to elevate your game, combining advanced technology with a striking design for both style and performance.

Features:

ACC Rifftech Frame - Optimises energy transfer for powerful, accurate smashes and drives.

HDF Technology - Absorbs shocks and vibrations, improving control and reducing strain on the arm.

Dynamic Optimum Frame - Increases the sweet spot for more forgiving off-centre hits.

Sonic Boom System - A standout feature of this racket is the Sonic Boom System, which uses air compression technology to amplify the ultrasonic effect of the racket frame. This creates a powerful hitting sensation and faster shuttlecock speed, while the distinctive "sonic boom" sound adds to the racket’s dynamic performance.

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.:
