Li-Ning SS-8-G5 Carbon-Graphite Strung Badminton Racquet, S1 (Dark Grey/Orange) with Free Racket Cover

This is not a beginner racket first of allOnly intermediate players can handle itBelive me it is even better than yonex astrox 27i lite cuz I have them bothSsg5's factory fitted tension is also tighter than astrox to start with the graphite used in this racket is top class and astrox's weight is 77 gram where as ssg5's weight is 87 gram and in real after putting the same grip on both of them astrox's weight is 97 whereas ssg5 is only 102It is well balanced and head heavy(for smashes)But not bad in defence eitherAnd when I say it's better than astrox that means it is best racket in 2500 range in just 1500Just go for it guys😁😁

Great choice at the best price

Even though its a bit heavy it very useful in smashing but still not the best in handling since I had to train a bit to get used its weight in defense and drops.

Broken on impact with a shuttle so very dissapointed

Tight

Received in good condition, but packaging was average and needs improvement. Genuine product, got it verified for it's authencity from Lining website. Nice choice for those who prefer a heavy racket. Good string tension to play smash. Value for money.

Good balanced racquet. It says material is carbon graphite. String tension is good. I am able to place shots from baseline to baseline.Before buying this I had a old racquet which had metal connector. So the strings were not replacable. As the string tension was falling and I was not able to play long shots anymore, I had to buy this one.With this I have noticed an immediate improvement to my game. I am able to play shots fast enough to hit opponents body before he is able to move out of the way 😁. Also long shots don't need so much strength anymore. Very good.Bag is ok, you can see in the picture. Don't expect to put your water bottle and shoes in it.

The good racquet and the string tension is awesome. Good for smash. I purchased for my 12 year old son who is a beginner. The racquet is slightly heavy for him, compared to yonex nanoray.
