Badminton Racket LI-Ning HALBERTEC 9000 Reviews


Frosted material under the saturation of the fantastic high degree of mystery with ounces of vitality of the clash of color design, very sci-fi cyber mecha-like fluorescent additions, and the calm and deep darkness of the fusion with the match.


Such HALBERTEC 9000 is difficult not to eye-catching, based on its paint design alone, is also enough to deserve the word “peak”, so I’m sure that this time is also the first to fall in the HALBERTEC 9000 gorgeous face value.


Specification

(The following and the official labeled data error due to the author’s actual measurement for the measurement of the bottom of the rubber, measurement tools are different and other reasons arise)
HALBERTEC 9000 in my hands for 3U/4UG5 specifications; marking threading pounds: ≤ 31/30lbs;



76 line holes full line groove design, boxed racket frame overall racket frame area moderate, racket body overall length: 675mm; empty racket weight: 81.8g/85.3g;


Empty racket de-bottomed balance point: 3U-300mm; 4U-295mm (on the top line without primer winding 3 layers of primer film 91.5g/95.8g, with Li-Ning gp100 hand rubber;
Threading with all: Li-Ning L67, pounds are 28lbs;
Balance point of the hand rubber on the line after the whole match: 3U-299mm; 4U-295mm;


Equipped with a HALBERTEC spectrum within the most slender, the official logo in the tube diameter: 6.6mm (actual measurement of 6.89mm); 7000, 8000 in the tube diameter are 6.8mm;


In the HALBERTEC series 9000 hardness of the middle tube is undoubtedly the hardest within the spectrum, through the bare hands when breaking the middle tube can obviously feel its resistance to torsion is tougher, full sense of confrontation, the feedback is even stronger than the HALBERTEC 8000, the middle tube elasticity of the hard feedback strong elasticity and strong deformation recovery speed is fast.


Handle length: 210mm (extended handle), I have not been able to wait for the HALBERTEC 9000 on the G6 specifications of the handle, HALBERTEC 9000 “peak” may also mean that the end of the series, looking at the whole HALBERTEC family or not suitable for small hands G6 handle, is a pity, I’m afraid that this expectation is not going to become a HALBERTEC series obsession. The author of HALBERTEC series of obsession.


In addition unlike the HALBERTEC 7000 head double pegs design, HALBERTEC 9000 is to take a full set of 8 pegs head guard tube to prevent head collapse, but also to increase part of the head weight.

Finally, in the use of technology HALBERTEC 9000 is after all the “peak” as the name of the series models, in the use of materials can be said to be not stingy.

Hands-on experience with the 5000&7000&8000&9000

Under the same specification 7000&8000&9000 grip feeling and handing difficulty

Take 4U as an example, the same specifications, HALBERTEC 9000 in the 295mm balance distribution, the feeling of head weight is significantly stronger than HALBERTEC 8000, not to mention the other two rackets, so the grip of the 9000 is balanced slightly biased toward the head weight of the feeling, and the same box-type racket structure HALBERTEC 9000 in the racket frame torsion and hardness is significantly stronger than the 7, 8000 two rackets, which led to the increase in the thickness of the racket frame (the thinnest part of 10.13mm) while the thickness of the racket frame (the thinnest part of 10.13mm) and the thickness of the racket frame (the thinnest part of 10.13mm), the thickness of the racket frame is increased. The thickness of the frame increases (10.13mm at the thinnest point) while the thickness of the frame of the HALBERTEC 8000 (9.81mm at the thinnest point);


Through the rough high long ball and flat draw block experience down, on the difficulty of the hand, HALBERTEC 9000 slight head heavy feeling is not obviously too high drive threshold, the potential energy of the body of the racket is more convenient for the lending power of the ball, I feel that the difficulty of the hand is only second to the HALBERTEC series of the most sugary 5000, the swinging speed than the balance point is higher (302mm) of the HALBERTEC 7000 more light and fast, the racket swinging weight is equivalent to the 8000.


But in the hands on the ball on the body feeling, HALBERTEC 9000 out of the ball when the feedback out of the power, crisp feeling are more prominent, frame brittle pole hard with the transmission of force is dry and direct, but there is little obvious vibration of the ball, out of the ball is powerful and comfortable, this point naturally better than the HALBERTEC 7000, 8000, for a time actually let the author forget that the hands of the hand is a “balanced handling Shooting”, no wonder many players pick up HALBERTEC 9000 will not be able to extricate themselves, love to let go.


What is the “top of the control”

High-precision out of the ball pointing is the HALBERTEC series of the main phase, HALBERTEC 7000 seems to have played its sense of control to the extreme, holding the 7000 in dealing with a series of such as rubbing, put, close, wipe and other needs of delicate control of the stroke of the feeling of the performance of the human shooter as one is surprisingly strong, can be completely used to describe the ease of release. And HALBERTEC 8000 is in the balance of the basis to achieve the fine air handle, then HALBERTEC 9000? Iron plate, HALBERTEC 9000 solid to terrible racket surface rigidity causes even 28lbs of the racket surface shot pressure are significantly higher than before, all the small amplitude action force touch the ball, hold the ball time is so low that there is no opportunity to do other processing action, this can not help but let the author on the “control of the top of the” its own positioning has doubts.


But when it comes to speed, the HALBERTEC 9000 is the fastest of the bunch!

Pure speed racquets will spend more thought on frame structure improvement, fluid box, diamond blade, or even open holes in the body of the racquet. Indeed, the intuitive aerodynamic structural improvement brings significant swing speed improvement, but the accompanying fluttering hitting feeling, high-frequency hitting the frame under the fast swing speed and difficult to use the potential energy of the racket body to attack the downward pressure will appear to be soft, weak and uncertain. Due to the focus on the overall lightweight weight reduction, there will be a general weakening of the frame structure of the thin, torsion resistance is difficult to guarantee, the lack of precise pointing of the ball, are a lot of players on the wind-breaking speed of the type of doubles racquet criticism.


Through the author’s continuous trial and experience, the regular box frame structure is the best guarantee for the stability of the ball. Then speed up the optimal solution also began to become obvious, and 8000 the same, the same is the whole line groove design, balance in the dynamic benefits naturally can be even in the fast-paced doubles to rest assured boldly to go with the other side of the flat pumping bombardment, this point HALBERTEC 7000 has made a very good example, HALBERTEC 9000 is in the carry forward at the same time to reduce the area of the racket frame, the direct value of the speed to pull to the “Peak” level, with speed for control, in the form of ‘time Bo space’ for the opportunity to control, here I realized HALBERTEC 9000 so-called ”top of the control “can only say high, is really high!


Slim frame structure with full line groove racket face layout, small racket face, the center tube is slim enough, wind resistance is small swing speed, the racket face of the ball feedback is crisp, fast, overall rigidity, short touch time, the frame stable cross-section torsion-resistant leads to the ball handling accuracy guarantee. HALBERTEC 9000 in the pump gear when the overhand ball pumping pressure is absolutely the most outstanding performance of the three racquets exist!


The distribution of HALBERTEC 5000/7000/8000/9000 offensive performance is:
5000’s sugar water, multi-tap continuous attack with range, no effort;
7000’s offense with the precise drop control of the hitting point, enough stealthy speed, but there are a few points of vibration feedback, owed some comfort;
The 8000’s offense is a stable and reliable handling racquet offense, not hard enough but accurate enough.
HALBERTEC 9000 offensive characteristics lies in the small frame of the gathering force and penetration, sound, powerful, 4U performance is mainly in the sense of breakthrough with the speed of the ball, 3U specifications HALBERTEC 9000 is a complete attack weapon, the tension of the power to show, heavy bombardment like a singles type of offensive weapon!


And the offensive properties at the same time with the same poundage L67 HALBERTEC 7000, 8000 and HALBERTEC 9000 three racquets embodied in the hitting sound effect will be particularly prominent, which of course is the ball line under the support of the effect of the show, but due to the HALBERTEC 9000 racket frame rigidity caused by the higher than the net pressure of the 7000 and 8000 which led to the hitting of the metal sound effect will be sharper and more pleasing to the ear, and even can not exaggerate with “bomb” to describe. Even can not exaggerate with “bomb” to describe, so, HALBERTEC 9000 racket offensive attributes can also be amplified.


The pinnacle of control is aggressive offense

There is no doubt that the HALBERTEC 9000 racket successfully got rid of the “control equals balance” stereotype, refused to be mediocre, at the same time, but also different from the traditional attack racket of extreme violence, agile and calm, actually seems to HALBERTEC 9000 embodiment of more offensive attributes is to speed in exchange for, then what is the price? Answer: naturally, stability, the decline in fault tolerance is not obvious but has a real impact.


HALBERTEC frame is small, can control but do not see good defense, this is sort of come to the HALBERTEC 9000 in the actual combat process repeatedly let the author chagrin ate the defeat of the link.

Here mentioned HALBERTEC 9000 racket frame area of small, in fact, only relative to the entire HALBERTEC series of small, dexterous manipulation brought by the inevitable sacrifice of tolerance in the multi-tap coherence, come to the underhand ball on the ball, although the HALBERTEC 9000 racket frame area is smaller than the 8000 with the 7000, the more centralized distribution of sweet spot brought about by the low tolerance frequently hit the frame of the net, it will be rather Discouragement, frustration, the good thing is that its medium tube rebound crisp and powerful easy to borrow power, the threshold of driving will not be too high, in the passive defense more passive but not to discourage, if you are keen on doubles mid-front players, then the HALBERTEC 9000’s small racket surface and fast swinging speed may let you get rid of the defense when you do not live to be crazy, but when you are holding the HALBERTEC 9000 is facing a single game of a close match, then the HALBERTEC 9000 in the defense of passive rebound to get rid of the effect will be very significant, rebound route and accuracy is also more ideal, defense or can be defended, I can only say that not much indeed.


Recommended Summary

HALBERTEC 9000 3U and 4U are two different worlds!

If the 4U specifications of the HALBERTEC 9000 hand grip feeling there are a few dexterity and speed, then the 3U almost drop hand head heavy feeling will make you difficult to “balance, control” with it; if it is pure speed, not enough to be the HALBERTEC 9000 to break the traditional impression of the weapon, much less called The “peak” I think the combination of speed and control to present is worthy of the “peak”, HALBERTEC 9000 3U and 4U are two different rackets, 3U HALBERTEC 9000 in the attack has almost to the “Smash” downward pressure bluntness, can be smoother in the moment of hitting the ball tray ‘cover’ and send out, seems to be from the courteous ‘manipulation’ into a brutally unreasonable HALBERTEC series to “control” as the basis of the design principle, there is a slight departure from the “control”. On the attack alone, the author is bound to the HALBERTEC 9000 excluded from the HALBERTEC system as a comparison, so decided to give it a “special issue” in a separate board, otherwise it would be unfair to other models of the racket, even more so in the AXFORCE series, the HALBERTEC 9000 offensive performance with the 90max tiger is difficult to distinguish between, a more apt comparison! The object should be said to be more precise handling performance of the wind 9000C, who taught them all to have the code name 9000 suffix? So like 9000C offense, but its handling or 72 line control layout dissatisfaction ball players can rest assured boldly try HALBERTEC 9000.
