Equipment Introduction

Appearance Design: Fans of Li-Ning will recognize that the Thunder 80 is the brand’s first badminton racket with an “asymmetric design.” The overall color scheme is dark, catering to a steady playing style and personality, with bright accents on the frame and shaft to create a blend of light and dark.

Materials: The racket is made from Li-Ning’s new generation of carbon materials, combined with superconducting nanomaterials to enhance elasticity. This results in doubled elastic potential energy during offensive strokes, boosting attacking power.

Technological Configuration: The frame incorporates a “high composite density shock absorption system,” improving the racket’s vibration-dampening performance. It is also equipped with a 6.6mm slim, high-strength bionic shaft that raises the flex point, enhancing offensive capabilities.

The Thunder 80 is the first to feature the exclusive Thunder platform technology system—FRTP TECH. This system, integrating material and structural features, has been continuously optimized through player testing to enhance the unique attributes of the Thunder rackets.

New Generation Carbon – More Flexible Swing: Li-Ning’s upgraded material technology offers high strength, allowing the racket to withstand significant bending while providing high modulus elasticity. This enables power players to exert maximum force during powerful swings, resulting in doubled elastic potential energy.

High Composite Density Shock Absorption System – Reducing Sports Injuries: By incorporating high-tech, lightweight shock-absorbing materials, the racket improves the feel of strikes and reduces sports injuries. During hits, power transfer is smoother, and the striking force is fully released, effectively minimizing sports injuries.

Superconducting Nanomaterials – Stability and Endurance in Swings: By using superconducting nanomaterials, the combination of carbon fibers and resin becomes more compact, enhancing the racket’s elasticity and durability, thereby delivering greater striking power.

Resilient Elastic Torque – Targeted Flexibility: The resilient elastic torque enhances the racket’s anti-torsion performance, allowing quick recovery even when the hitting point deviates, thus improving shot accuracy and making attacks more precise.

Wing Constant System – Fast Recovery and Quick Returns: The cross-disciplinary application of aviation technology principles allows the racket to precisely control frame recovery at the moment of deformation, reducing frame wobble and enhancing anti-torsion performance. This enables fast, accurate, and stable returns.
