Li Ning AxForce 80 vs Tectonic 9 vs Aeronaut 9000C Review & Comparison

I review and compare the Li Ning AxForce 80, Li Ning Tectonic 9 and Li Ning Aeronaut 9000C (9000 Combat) high end badminton rackets used by professionals Chen Long, Yuta Watanabe, Srikanth Kidambi, Jonathan Christie and Ong Yew Sin.
The Li Ning AxForce 80 and Tectonic 9 are predominantly singles badminton rackets that are head heavy and possesses lots of power. The Aeronaut 9000 Combat is widely used as a doubles badminton racket as it's supposed to be faster and more consistent.

For tectonic 9..what string is more compicable to use

[@nigelang2438]

Looking for this Li Ning racquet review for more than 3 years. Finally someone can review by the player perspective and comparison with Yonex. Thanks.

[@CKYew]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@wind6775]

I really enjoyed your reviews, they are practical and easy to understand. The way you evaluate also helps me learn a lot about English badminton.

[@CKYew]

I’m happy it helpful for you 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jctai84]

Totally agree with you regarding the timing issue with the Axeforce 80. Even after 10 hours of playtime with it, I still occasionally flopped on timing for relatively easy shots like a lob. My suspicion is its sweet spot is actually smaller than we think it is and it punishes off-centered shots rather harshly. It's odd that Chen Long would switch to this racket from his N55, because they are quite different in many aspects.

[@CKYew]

Apparently his model is different to the normal ones but i do have timing issues with it although its certainly fast! 😬

[@7eventyn]

What a nice review! Can't wait to see you review more Lining rackets, maybe Turbocharging and 3D Calibar series for next review? 😉

[@JW-dt1kc]

Nice review mate. Really liked your roundups on Yonex' lineup but haven't been really interested in these rackets so I didn't comment until now^^ On a sidenote, isn't it a bit unfair to compare 4U rackets with a 3U racket? ;D I actually have all three of these rackets in 3U and I just wanted to share some info/personal experiences on these rackets (obviously dependent on personal preferences): 1. AXF80: Loved that from the first second and did not struggle with the timing at all. I am certain being used to Yonex' stiffer shafts made adjusting way harder for you than for me who has been using rather flexible LN rackets for years now. 2. Tectonic 9: Had a hard time on the contrary adjusting to this one, just not used to that stiffness... It is actually 2g heavier than the AXF80 and carries way more headweight (more than any other racket I own including other headheavy options such as the Tectonic 7C, N55 or N90-2 despite having a lower Balance Point). It was the slowest of this trio imo but the stiffness is probably the closest the current LN range of rackets comes to Yonex^^ 3. Aeronaut 9000C: Having measured all 3 rackets with pretty much the same grip setup, this one is even heavier than the Tectonic 9 is second in line when it comes to headweight, beating the afformentioned (probably due to the general weight and the added bulk of the Airstream system). If you keep the crazy headweight and overall weight in mind, I would say this racket actually is quite fast and beats out both the AXF80 and T9 in 3U (I guess the Airstream system does its job there, but hard to tell without having a 9000C without the Airstream vents for direct comparison). Also, these square grommets can be bought from Asia. If I recall correctly, they should be (or at least were) available to purchase via the e1981 or shopnings website (have ordered several times from both and both are highly reliable). You probably won't even need to buy these square grommets any time soon, as they are really high quality and last for ages^^ Keep up the good work and I hope to see some more LN stuff (maybe shoes too?) in the future💪

[@JLneonhug]

Nice review, 9000c vs 88d vs 100zz review would be great! I have the 9000i (and 88d) and besides the weight it's quite comparable with 88d (2nd gen). Though 5u, it has chonky head heaviness to it ~315-320mm which helps with the racket speed. Stick smashes are deadly and very easy to creat massive angles. I found ultimate power is lacking but anything that's below 80% power is on point. Being very honest, I find giving 88d 110% and on target is quite hard to get consistently because the flex. The 9000i is more solid than the 88d which I prefer. If there was a stiffer version of the 88d or 4u version of 9000i (possibly the 9000c?? ) would probably be my ideal preference. PS don't forget you can string these to 30lbs! Paint on it is much much more durable than yonex!

[@JLneonhug]

Going to go full geek now since I'm starting it, the 88d has (my opinion) non linear flex, there is a step in the shaft and different flex in the head. I can't quite tell what this is but as you increase power the timing changes. I find it unstable or harder to snap at shots 'freely', really need to think about it beforehand. Obviously it is me not used to the racket but a year on I can still feel there is a learning curve to this flex.

[@CKYew]

There's plenty of intricate timings for all rackets and once you've found them, it'll feel amazing!

[@ritayudh4208]

What's your pick between Astrox 88D pro and Aeronaut 9000 I ?

[@CKYew]

Its the 88D Pro for me.

[@badmintonahviiandfrds6980]

thanks for the great reviews CK! it is the AXForce 80 for me. playing with it for about 8 months. i have both 4U and 5U and I play well with the 5U and it is also my preferred choice I noticed that the high end models comes along with the 5U recently firstly i think the mass market likes the 5U version, and personally I dont think there is any loss of power this 5U racket generates one of the fastest swing (for me), and good smashes the sound of hitting the sweet spot is incredible and addictive but it is all about personal suitability and the like factor current players using the AXForce 80 : Chen Long, Yuta Watanabe, Srikanth Kidambi and Pusarla Venkata Sindhu cheers !

[@CKYew]

yep, lighter rackets will certainly suit a lot of players 😊😊

[@MrLaurichu]

is the 4u racket much heavier? is defence still good as the 5u version?

[@chewkenghong]

lining sells the gommets in a box which contains the round as well as square grommets. in either box of red or black. only downside of square grommets is needs to changed more often wtih stringing as you can only rotate it once when restring. where as for round grommets it can be rotated for up to 4 times if you one really dislike changing the grommets.

True!!

[@iwanpandin6953]

FYI, the AXFORCE 80 you review is not what Chen Long use. The Chen Long use are 3U, more stiffer shaft. For AXFORCE 80 series, Lining made 3U,4U,5U with medium flexible shaft dan 3U with stiff shaft. I guest Lining made the medium flexible version so a lot of people can easily use the racket.

[@same2799]

Yea theres an axforce 80 CL edition

[@CKYew]

Medium shafts don’t like me 😭😭😂

[@imataquito005]

@@CKYew I got my arm injured using a super flexy shaft. I m a player with very short punchy stroke. On low power hits and long strokes flexy shaft aids power generation and control. It was very comfortable to play with but once I go into more high power shots it seems the racquet absorbs some of my wrist and arm output and forces me to literally hit harder and harder causing the injury.

The tectonic series are lining's most easy to use high end rackets. Tectonic 7 and tectonic 9 are incredibly easy to use by beginner/intermediate player. While aeronaut series (especially 7000-9000 aeronaut) are one of the hardest lining racket to use.

[@CKYew]

Btw thx for reviewing lining rackets, i like your style of delivering words and finally u did it with linings. Hopefully u'd do more lining rackets and other brands 👍🏻

That's pretty interesting. My friend owns a Tectonic 9 3U and a Aeronaut 900C 3U(I play with a 88D pro), I've used both and found that the Aeronaut more user friendly and most similar to my 88D pro. Depending on how the Arcsaber 11 Pro turns out(used to use a Arc 10, but disliked the Arc 11), I might get an Aeronaut 9000C as a backup racket.

[@akshayprabhu242]

Hi, a great review. I specially like how you compared each racket feel with Yonex rackets. Now I know procuring rackets is difficult, as you are not a sponsored guy. But maybe make video on top 5 doubles rackets including multiple manufactures i.e Yonex, lining and victor. And if possible select rackets which are easy to play with and not consider 100zz due to its extra stiff shaft and for eg AXForce 80 from this video due it's playability issues. If it's not possible, it's not an issue I still like your content ☺️😜

[@CKYew]

As i've not tested all the recent top end rackets from all major manufacturers, i dont want to make recommendations just based on specs as I dont think that's right. Once I've tested enough rackets, those comparisons will come 👍

[@jwoste6014]

How a racket feels is mostly down to personal preferences. The AXF80 is imo a very easy racket to use if you are used to flexible-medium flexible rackets and I had more problems with the AN9000C and Tectonic 9. Best is to try the racket yourself if possible, as a review by any other player than yourself won't automatically apply to your individual stroke style and timing preferences.

So best singles, balanced doubles, front court doubles and rear court doubles rackets categories or something like that.

[@CKYew]

AxForce 80. its so so quick.

[@jimmysii5556]

@@CKYew cool. Why is it so quick? It has a smaller frame, like nf800?

Great reviews. Where is the best place to buy li Ning rackets in the uk .

[@CKYew]

Good question! There's none unfortunately as they're virtually none existent and lots of europe distributors also refuse to ship to the UK due to Brexit 🤯

[@ffrankface]

I really love Lining's badminton racket because it's a matte color, it's beautiful, it increases the motivation to hit it hahaha , And now I use Lining 3D calibar 900i , I hope your review that series wait for it !!!!

They do look very cool in matte 👍

For power and attacking play, do you prefer Axforce 80 or aeronaut 9000 ? im a rear court player

Me as an Astrox 88D Pro big fan, is it suitable for me to get the Tectonic 9 or Aeronaut 9000?

[@rizkyjanuar1923]

i already use ax80 force and 9000C. i think both racquet similiar.. quick and easy to swing.

Hi CK Yew, about the AX 80. Despite the flexibility, do you think the frame is stable enough to get good precision and control like the Tectonic 7 and the 3D calibar 900i ? Thanks for the answer. Yves

[@CKYew]

I think so! A lot of it will be down to the preference, timing and technique of the player 👌

What's your pick between Astrox 88D pro, Tectonic 9 and Aeronaut 9000C ?

[@CKYew]

I personally prefer the 88D Pro

[@indraraditia9373]

The Tectonic 9 and Axforce 80 don't come with Combat, Drive, Boost, and Instinct. Li-Ning has changed their newest series line up into 3U, 4U, and 5U model, which each have a different Balance Point and Shaft Stiffness Rate. Balance Point: 5U>4U>3U Shaft Stiffness: 3U>4U>5U

[@CKYew]

Yep!! all about different weights now

[@Coconutballsack]

If i want all out attacking play style inclusive of smashing, should i change from 100zz to tectonic 9?

[@indraraditia9373]

@@Coconutballsack Maybe, because Tectonic 9 is comparable to Astrox 99Pro (more to single racket). Still, 100zz already great for smashes (can be use for double too).

[@CKYew]

Which racket against the 100zz?

[@afiqazarudin1258]

Hi CK. What a great explanation there. Which Li Ning would you recommend me to replace my Yonex Astrox 100zz? I've broke my 100zz twice already, and i would like to try on Li Ning brand.

9:25 Is that the correct stringing pattern for Aeronaut? It seems like the stringer never knots near the gaps. And Lining usually use 2 knots pattern.

Hi CK if player use 4u model types of attacking prefer axforce / tectonic 9 / 9000c / 100zz / 99 pro ? Which one the best in ur opinion

[@CKYew]

Its completely down to your personal preference. The Tectonic 9, 100ZZ and 99 Pro are all pretty head heavy rackets. Only the AxForce 80 and 9000C are just slightly head heavier.

[@33amaddo]

Yess CK, great review mate. Been waiting for this. Your reviews are pretty much spot on to what I was saying before. Now that I've used the Axforce 80 for over a week I've gotten used to it and overall the Axforce 80 has now taken my number 1 spot over my long time regular match racket the 9000C. The Tectonic I find a bit sluggish but that's probably because it's a little heavy for doubles. I use the 9000C in 3U but the Tectonic in 3U definitely feels more sluggish for me. Top stuff mate. Looking forward to the Arc 11 pro now.

[@CKYew]

Glad you've found the timing of the AxForce 80, i certainly struggled with it big time 😬

[@ajim1791]

can i have an update from you in which racket you're using now? been looking to get either axforce 80 or 9000c. please do help me !!
