If you're considering a lightweight racket for your next upgrade, the Li-Ning Windstorm 79S 5U Badminton Racket is certainly worth your attention. Weighing 79 grams, this racket is specifically designed to offer enhanced control and manoeuvrability on the court, allowing players to react quickly and precisely. Its lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for those who value speed and agility in their game, providing effortless handling and quick responses during fast-paced rallies.

The Windstorm 79S is part of the renowned Windstorm series, which is celebrated for its Super-Light technology. This innovative technology significantly boosts swing speed, enabling you to make rapid shots with ease and precision. The series as a whole is designed to improve players' overall performance by enhancing speed without compromising power, making the Windstorm 79S an excellent choice for players looking to elevate their game with a fast and dynamic racket.

Despite its light weight, the Windstorm 79S is engineered to generate substantial power, making it a versatile racket suitable for players of varying skill levels. Whether you're a youth player, someone practicing light drills, or looking to improve your technique, this racket is designed to help you achieve your goals. The medium flexible shaft of the racket ensures a balanced feel, providing a combination of flexibility and stability that allows for smooth, controlled shots. This, combined with the racket's even balance, ensures you can generate both power and precision in your smashes and clears, making it a reliable choice for all types of shots.

The racket is constructed using High Carbon, a specially developed carbon fibre material known for its strength and durability. This advanced material not only ensures the racket’s lightweight nature but also contributes to its overall strength and longevity, allowing for a responsive and long-lasting performance on the court.

Additionally, the Windstorm 79S features several cutting-edge technologies, including the UHB-Shaft, Dynamic-Optimum Frame, Aero Tec-Beam System, and TB Nano. The UHB-Shaft technology optimises the racket’s bending point for improved power during smashes and clears, while the Dynamic-Optimum Frame expands the sweet spot, ensuring greater consistency and power even on off-centre hits. The Aero Tec-Beam System enhances the racket’s aerodynamics, reducing drag and improving swing speed for more fluid shots, while the TB Nano technology enhances the bonding of carbon fibre, improving strength by up to 20% without adding extra weight.

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?

  1. Power Attacking
  2. All Round
  3. Fast Reactions to Rallies
  4. 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.:
