Li Ning Blade X 800 Badminton Racket Review - its a tough one!

I review and compare the LiNing Blade X 800 head light badminton racket which is used by world and Olympic champion Zhang Nan of China. This super fast badminton racket is part of the new BladeX series of rackets from Li Ning although finding any information was tricky.
This BladeX 800 racket is very fast and is certainly aimed at high level doubles players who really prefer speedy and fast badminton rackets. Have you tried a Blade X badminton racket before?

I really appreciate that you are starting to do lining and victor reviews. Yonex reviews are abundant but lining reviews in English is rare, so this really helps

[@CKYew]

Gotta have the big 3 💪✌️

Very informative video bro! Keep it up! ❤

Haha. i'm also still waiting to be able to get my hands on one 🤣🤣

[@giovanihuang9644]

Really appreciate that test all your rackets blindly.It give us a better review of the rackets

[@CKYew]

Its a good testing workflow for me 👍👍

[@yliu4093]

Thanks. Would you be able to recommend the best all around li Ning racket? Easy to swing with some power double front or single playing? Not too stiff. What about Axforce 80? Thanks

[@MrKillerto]

Great reviews. Next please. Axforce 90 max dragon.

[@CKYew]

I cant get hold of one 🤣🤣 I will do when i can 👍

[@markjaypigao9960]

Hi there! Do you have a review of the Blade X 700? THANK YOU!!

[@beck3740]

always the most detail racket review. great

[@CKYew]

Glad you like them!

[@raihanaziz_]

could you review the new Blade X 900 Max Sun and Moon? they're just ghosted out of indonesian market fast and i'm curious what do you think of it since your review are very comprehensive 😅

[@izdiharadib275]

Hi CK Yew, does this bladex 800 feeling near same like nanoflare 800? 3u will be better feeling for headlight same like nanoflare 800?

[@KhanchatSukthana]

I have the 3u version and I absolutely love it. Personally, I always get the speed type racket in 3u version.

[@CKYew]

Niceeeeeee

[@distinctjockson7046]

I have 4u raquet, and it is just wow

[@davidchien5305]

I have been using the BladeX 800 3U5G in doubles for around a year. Im more of a front court player than rear court. This racket is fast and helps me with my net battles, drives and defences very well. Only issue i have with it is that it sometimes feel abit hollow. Does anyone here share the same sentiments? If not I feel this racket would be excellent.

[@soniasonyalyu4453]

In the mandarin expression, for the official descrition of the difference in 3U or 4U of the racket, it means 3U for the players which have GOOD skill of swing power, and 4U for the DECENT skill of swing power. which means if you have a better skill, you can choose a 3U racket.

[@jiayanglian4363]

thanks for doing all these reviews, very knowledgeable for us, been following and catching up of your videos since your first. same here in Australia, no official information given and even the seller gave brief explanation, basically you find out yourself. In Australia AX90 retail @A$ 320 onwards, it is a big gamble if not much information is readily available. Even the upcoming Arcsaber 7 Pro won't even hit the A$300 mark . after Malaysian Open and Malaysian Masters some other KZbinrs from Malaysia is introducing more Li-Ning to club players locally, maybe that's is the best marketing? will continue to tune in to your channel

[@CKYew]

Good to hear you're enjoying the videos. Li Ning certainly is about 10% more expensive than Yonex/Victor across the market and their top end rackets do look very premium in terms of aesthetics, except this one 😬😬

[@jiayanglian4363]

@@CKYew since watching all of your videos I learned a lot, I noticed a topic that is not discussed amongst us social players it is stringing/grommets design, 70,72,76 holes and some rarely seen designs, are they important enough to know ? Or just something the badminton stringing industry keep to themselves?

[@CKYew]

Unless someone wants to learn how to string, he/she probably won’t have an interest in stringing patterns or grommets 😂😂😂 or at least that’s how I started 😂

[@jiayanglian4363]

@@CKYew will wait for your next video , Commonwealth game content?

[@badmintongod72]

@@jiayanglian4363 dont be surprised, lining is always more expensive than other brand rackets in the same classes 😂 but there's one advantage lining has, its that their rackets paint jobs are flawless. They arent easily chipped and looks very premium, even the low tier classes. And about grommets, the more grommets the less string sharing the same hole, therefore makes them more durable bcs the tension is dispersed evenly. Other than that, if you're advanced enough, grommets quantity doesnt feel much difference

[@mantop64]

Appreciate your expertise to review racket Li Ning Blade X 800 New (green colour) as it has new paint job and fully recess. Thus experience might be different to the original Blade X 800. TQ

Great review as always. If you were to compare with Auraspeed 100x, how does it fare in terms of Ease of play, drives and control?

[@CKYew]

Auraspeed 100X wins in all departments for me!

[@chuen0910]

How would you rate this racket vs. victor auraspeed 100x? Both rackets gave me the same impression after watching your videos

[@CKYew]

Oofff the 100X is much easier to play with as well as having more power. I’d pick the 100X over the Blade X 800 atm

[@lilwolfie4390]

Hi Ck Yew, I know this is irrelevant to this video but I would like to ask you your opinion on if the bg80 or the exbolt 63 is a better string for the astrox 99 play, as I am an offensive player

[@CKYew]

Both are great strings. If you want better sound, go with Exbolt 63, if you want a harder feel, go for the BG80

[@lilwolfie4390]

Thanks, I will stick with the exbolt 63

[@rizkyjanuar1923]

i'm agree about blade x 800 similiar with nanoflare 700.

[@sumanthnandamuri2168]

This is gold, cause its rare. Is this a small frame, do you think this is similar to jetspeeds and braveswords ?

[@CKYew]

I dont have measurements of the jetspeeds and braveswords but the frame measurements were completely normal, nowhere near small

[@Palitawbebi]

Hi bro i have a question and i really need an answer for someone who makes reviews and teach badminton skills. My question is is the yonex voltric z force ll good for beginners and intermediate because i am seeking power light and easy to handle racket and if there is any other recommended rackets pls reply

[@CKYew]

The ZF2 is certainly no beginner racket as its very very stiff and demanding to play with. If budget isnt a problem, i think the astrox 88s Pro and Nanoflare 800 is pretty easy to play with as well as the Victor Auraspeed 100X i reviewed recently too.

[@ramsairellu3211]

Make a video on rackets below 3000

[@vocalized953]

Bro Yonex voltric 0.5 DG slim i buy String capacity is 35 lbs what lbs is best and it this racket is good or bad plz reply

[@CKYew]

There is no specific tension that is better than the other. its all down to your personal preference.

[@AayushD]

Shopnings has a complete catalogue with all the info on lining rackets you could want, of course in mandarin.

[@CKYew]

🤣👍

[@mclarenludan2290]

I had this racket and it is quite stiff. I think it would really suit those players who defends well and can generate power well. Overall, it's a good racket.

[@CKYew]

Its certainly fast! really requires good timing 👍

[@hardikgera3961]

Which model of 88d pro you use is it 3u or 4u . I mainly play double please recommend me one .

[@CKYew]

I use the 4U 88D Pro, its really good!

[@deekay13]

How does this compare to Auraspeed 100x and Nanoflare 800?

[@CKYew]

Both 100X and 800 are smoother, faster and have a crisper feel to this.

[@zaidbinakhlaq2038]

Aoa wanted to know if yonex voltric z force 2 is a good racket and is there any competitor of it

[@CKYew]

The ZF2 is a good racket but it is also pretty demanding though.

ouch!! Hopefully the colour look good! 😊

[@KoolFcuk]

Not sure about its performance and handling. In terms of aesthetic and design, Bladex is thousands miles behind Axforce 80, Tectonic 9 and Aeronaut 9i. It doesn't seem like it is from the same designer.

[@CKYew]

i agree 🤣🤣
