The much-awaited Li-Ning AXFORCE 80CL badminton racket has finally dropped. It is a limited edition racket made in collaboration with Chen Long, the Chinese Badminton Wizard. This racket is unique in its way and is the very definition of power and perfection.

Staying true to its limited-edition profile, the Li-Ning AXFORCE 80CL comes encased in an ergonomic case. This case is made of Teflon-powered rigid foam. The case ensures this prized racket remains safe and is battle-ready always. As soon as we open the case, we are greeted by the AXFORCE 80CL racket, BWF approved packs of Li-Ning №1 Boost strings, a tube of Li-Ning A+ 300 Feather Shuttlecock, and a box comprising ten pieces of GP 3000 Grips.

This racket is a lethal weapon, no questions asked. So, if you have an ounce’s doubt concerning its performance, then it can be laid to rest. The AXFORCE 80CL weighs 88 grams and has a highly head-heavy profile, thanks to the Swing Weight Technology devised, which channelizes effective transmission of weight with each swing. The racket head is the epitome of power. Bolstered using the amalgamation of Wing Stabilizer technology and HDF Shock Absorption Technology, the racket head features a Box Wing Frame, which cuts through the air and makes playing offensive shots easy as the drop of a hat.

This racket offers a super-fast response rate meaning the racket restores to its original shape in no time by changing the shaft folding area and pushing the bending point. All of these are achieved by devising the Li-Ning FRTP Tech. Speaking of the shaft, the Li-Ning AXFORCE 80CL sports a flexible middle shaft that has a diameter of 6.6mm, which offers a tremendous frontal bend performance.

Now, let’s talk a bit about the design and looks. The racket is inspired by the Chinese Badminton Wizard, Chen Long. Every nook and corner of the racket radiates panache, dynamism, optimism, and a call to be remembered. The racket has a Chen Long autograph embossed on the shaft. The initial of his name with a crown is also emblazoned on the cap of the racket, giving the racket a distinct look and feel. The uniqueness of the racket has extended manifolds.

We could go on and on talking about the racket, but we would rather you have a look and decide for yourself. Be advised this limited edition racket is quantized to only 25 sets across the nation. So, you might just want to hurry.
