Li Ning Halbertec 8000 Badminton Racket Review - What A Surprise

This is a review of Li Ning's latest badminton racket, the Halbertec 8000. The Halbertec is also a new control series racket from Li Ning and the legendary Fu Hai Feng is currently playing with it. The Halbertec is fast, responsive and is certainly a surprise.
This is a control focussed badminton racket and isn't very head heavy.

Got this racquet in 4U! Absolute beast to play with. Sharp flat drives are amazing, slices and drops are great. Only thing maybe lacking is power from smashes, but that is expected from a Control type racquet. Perfect racquet for the Mid-Rear court player. Highly recommend!

[@CKYew]

Its pretty good isnt it! I was impressed with this one

[@ChickenSweetcornSoup]

@@CKYew One thing I picked up from the vid. Even though it’s meant to be an even balance/slight head heavy racquet, I get EXACTLY what you mean by the sometimes slight head light feel. It’s a weird (but good) feeling!

[@CKYew]

Niceeeeee! 👌

[@pasifier]

Bought this 2 months back and agree that this racket is definitely easy to pick up. The more I use it, the more I love the control it gives me mainly on drop shots and drives to the back of the court. However, it is not as powerful for smashing (but that could very well be on me as I am not a smasher!) . Love this racket.

[@henrywoo2247]

I am one of owner of Halbertec 8k too, it is controll racket with responsive feeling. If you can get the sweet spot during smash, it can generate more power in smash, this racket is very comfort to use. Suitable for control player, Single player, all rounder, front to middle court in doubles. Smaller sweat spot to new player, but generate explosive smash in sweet spot for advanced player.

[@JCbadminton]

Thanks for this video. I was having a hard time finding a replacement for my 9000c and considered this one for almost a year. I had originally tried the bladex 900 but felt something was lacking on that racket. Needless to say the hal8000 was exactly what i needed. While i have huge love for the 9000c, i felt my arm wasnt strong enough to use it to its fullest. The hal8000 is seriously one of the best feeling racket i have used in a very long time. All control shots were much easier to do, but smashes really needed that extra push to get the power in. Defensive play was made twice as easy with this racket. I did get a 3u, which i would recommend over 4u if you are afriad of losing power in your shots, especially if you came from using something like the 9000c.

[@CKYew]

Glad you found what you liked after the 9000C 👌👌

[@chai-suri]

[@venkataraman1988]

That's spot on wrt timing. When u continue to play a heavy racket and suddenly pick up a light racket u struggle with timing especially net drives .

[@CKYew]

Absolutely 😬 Gotta work on that timing

[@dragondurt9580]

Looks good! Any intention to review the recently released axforce 100 from LiNing

[@CKYew]

Of course! It looks incredible

[@dztryr]

I was really looking forward to this review after being mentioned in your previous video about Li Ning's racket line up, however I felt there were some lacking bits compared to how you've reviewed other rackets. I'm curious to know how Li-Ning's Halbertech compares to Yonex's ArcSabers. I'm planning to switch from head heavy rackets to even balance and these are on top of my list.

[@babaibaibabaibai428]

I own a ryuga 1 and an arcsaber 7 pro, there really is a difference when using a head heavy racket. Since im a rear court player i prefer the ryuga than the arc. The power of the smashes are different.

[@dztryr]

In doubles, I am also a rear court player most of the time but I can also play mid and front. I used to use a head heavy racket, now switched to an even balance racket. It can take a while to tone down power shots but control shots like net and drop shots feel great. Another benefit I have noticed is I can play a little bit longer and I don’t strain my arms compared to when I was using head heavy. What I shared is based on my opinion and experience racket choice will still fall under personal preference.

[@ecaydence7132]

Can we get more badminton club videos with different angles? Really helps players wanting to improve to understand how they should move/position ☺

[@pheakpheasopanhavuth3612]

I just picked up the Li Ning 3D caliber 900C as my first racket. It needs a lot of work to get things out of it. Hopefully see your review on it soon. I wonder how professional like you think of it.

[@user-boxue]

Wow that’s interesting. Didn’t expect Fu Haifeng as such a legendary smasher is going head light! For its speed I assume?

Hi CK, which one has a better feel in comparison to the 9000c?

[@jonathanyong1362]

Beautiful racket! both colours are my top two favourite colours so I have been eyeing on this one for a long time. I am generally a Astroz 100zz user with one Aeronaught 7000i as a spare. However, the weight shift is soo big that I usually take a short while to adjust when switching rackets. Do you think swapping the Aeronaught 7000i with the Halbertec 8000 is a better option?

[@CKYew]

I havent played with the Aeronaut 7000i before so i cant comment but this 8000 is pretty good!

If I understand what you are saying, why don’t you just stick to one racket model and use the same rackets, no point to have 3 different… I recently sold all my Astrox series rackets I had laying around as I switched to the Arcsaber 11 Pro and got myself 5 of them… except that now I’m getting a bit wide eyed on the Halbertec 9000 and considering a switch to that racket and sell off my Arcsaber 11 pros
