6.6mm diameter high-strength bionic slim center tube, 76 line holes, fresh racket layout, shock-absorbing inner foam technology, racket specifications of the labeling changes, a lot of Li-Ning has never been the novelty of the TEXTONIC focus on the protagonist of the review of the Raider 9, as the code name of the flagship of the sequence of “9”, and the work. TEXTONIC 9 unexpectedly has a relatively affordable price. At the same time 21Q2 new conference Li-Ning opened up the mystery of the new three series of feather racket: AXFORCE TEXTONIC – offensive, HALBERTEC CALIBERTEC – control type, BLADEX – speed type, in the original accumulation of TEXTONIC, three-dimensional wind blade, CALIBAR, energy aggregation, and also retained for everyone to choose. Will also be retained for everyone to choose. Since Li-Ning opened the badminton market in 2009, it seems to be always making new attempts in the racket field.
From the appearance alone, although TEXTONIC 9 in the appearance of the tone is still to maintain the tone of the main matte coating, contrasting black and white main, revealing the mysterious atmosphere of the ghost of the blue and Phantom Purple intertwined twining, glistening embellishments in the mix of a number of details, so that in the stability of the burst of dynamic tension.
The richness of the colors is also reflected in the paint frame, which is a departure from the previous TEXTONIC 7 series. At this point, there is no need for rhetoric, as it is obvious that the TEXTONIC 9 is destined to be something special.

The TEXTONIC 9, also equipped with the TECTONIC technology platform, is designed to increase the elastic potential energy at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions of the frame, resulting in faster rebound speed and increased bat speed. Combining higher strength with greater toughness. The frame 5 and 7 points are designed as a narrow shape elastic structure, adding Li-Ning’s main technology “THUNDERBOLT CLOUND Technology System”;
In addition, TEXTONIC 9 will be equipped with Li-Ning’s new “High Composite Density Shock Absorption System” HDF SHOCK ABSORPTION SYSTEM center bar will use the newly developed “6.6mm slim high-strength bionic center bar” and combined with the “reset elastic torsion angle” STABILIZED TORSION ANGLE SYSTEM. STABILIZED TORSION ANGLE SYSTEM with a newly developed “6.6mm Slim High Strength Bionic Mid Shaft” and combined with the “Reset Elastic Torsion Angle”;
Hands-on experience
Note: In addition to the initial hands-on experience, the performance of TEXTONIC 9 has its own distinctive characteristics in the actual battle against the 3 different specifications, so I will make a relative distinction between the “same” and “different” two experience to describe, in order to watch.
The “same” feeling
Stroke Feedback
High composite density damping system is commonly referred to as one of the foam in the frame, as Li-Ning’s previous racquets even without the use of internal foam technology is rarely “shocking” feedback, so in the course of the author’s experience, is not one of the key experience of the technology program, the feeling of hitting in addition to the overall feedback of the stiffness is not really experienced too much discomfort vibration. I did not experience too much uncomfortable vibration. The TEXTONIC 9, also equipped with Thundercloud technology, gave the author a brand-new hands-on playing experience. Unlike the previous generation of TEXTONIC, which had a direct and clear response to deformation, the TEXTONIC 9 with 3 different specifications had a stiff overall feedback, with strong rigidity, and weak deformation of the racket body at the moment of hitting the ball.
The M40X high modulus carbon with 6.6mm diameter center tube makes it a little bit hard in the rebound feedback without any mute feeling, and this kind of feedback ensures the accuracy of the line of the ball.
TEXTONIC 9 is based on the design of TEXTONIC 7, 72 holes adjusted to 76 holes, which makes the overall racket pressure rise, and directly comes to the drop of hitting tolerance rate. Without changing the distribution of the sweet spot, the hardness of the racket surface instantly increases, although the three specifications of the TEXTONIC 9 in the net in front of the small ball handling link performance tends to be consistent and stable, for the drop point control can be said to be easy.
However, the higher frame stiffness and hitting stiffness, combined with the rigid and direct feedback of the slim center tube, brings a corresponding substantial increase in the driving threshold, making it difficult to stimulate the “whip effect” when hitting the ball in the passive or non-sweet spot of the TEXTONIC 9. With three specifications, the frame retracted and the surface of the racket reduced, it is more difficult for the TEXTONIC 9 to use the force in passive defense (here it should be noted that the relative advantage in passive return will also increase). The Raider 9 has a harder time rebounding from passive defense than the TEXTONIC 7 series (it should be noted that the relative advantage in passive rebound increases as the frame size decreases).
The “Difference” in Feeling
Drive threshold
3UG5: The TEXTONIC 9 under 3U/G5 specifications has a moderate balance point (300mm), a weak sense of head weight in the hand, and a more balanced grip, without the slightest drop hand, the mid-pole elasticity of the harder, threaded with Li-Ning N65, threaded with the poundage of 28lbs. Lightweight specifications, obviously can feel 3U TEXTONIC 9 drive will be slightly strenuous.
4UG5: The balance point (305mm) has been shifted forward in the 4U/G5 specification, but the weight of the head is still not prominent in the hand, and the grip is inclined to be light and fast. In the process of hitting, you can really feel that under 4U, TEXTONIC 9’s elastic hardness of the middle tube is significantly lower than the 3U specification, the same with the N65 feather line, threading pounds 28lbs. based on the 3U specification of the stability of the ball, the reduction in the hardness of the middle tube, but also to lower the threshold of the explosive drive, the hands of the affinity for the most friendly in the initial experience, the driving can be said to be easy.
5UG5: TEXTONIC 9 under 5U/G5 specifications really gave me an unexpected surprise, head weight gradually clear (310mm), the center tube hardness parallel to the 4U specifications, the feel of the ball is dry and stable in the hand. The lightness brought by the weight, and the smoothness of swinging like a feather, made me unable to stop speeding up the offense in all the links where I can make power. The increase in speed also brought more frames than before, which was a surprise at the beginning, but also made me feel a little uncomfortable in the process.
Split Hang Sudden
In addition to the self-weight swinging weight of the smaller 5u split hanging when hanging, hidden suddenly, in the skateboard hanging with its advantages can be better to play its superior consistency, 3u specifications under the TEXTONIC 9 and 4u performance is not a big difference between the split hanging out of the ball is stable, dry, faster speed is TEXTONIC 9 clearly superior to its absolute attack when the performance of the performance.
Flat Draw Matchup
The box-type racket frame makes TEXTONIC 9 doomed to lose touch with speed, in the process of forming a multi-tap center-court confrontation, the good thing is that the relatively small racket surface (racket surface area is smaller than TEXTONIC 7) in the speed of the swing to a certain extent to make up for the role of the team will not fall into the “slow”, the specifications of the TEXTONIC 9 under the 5U specification, on the contrary, it is capable of With its own swing weight advantage, even in passive defense situations, it can still show more than 3/4U specifications to get rid of the action, stability is still its unchanging and core.
Absolute Attack
Since it is a surprise attack, as the flagship model of TEXTONIC 9, its absolute attack ability compared to the 7 of the spectrum, indeed, in the attack process of the burst and landing and precision have delivered a more satisfactory answer, but it does not mean that the mastery of TEXTONIC 9, the film can be reckless and indiscriminate bombing.
3UG5: 3U’s TEXTONIC 9 is not bad in the performance of heavy killing, but due to the slightly balanced weight distribution, the downward pressure line landing point is not tricky enough, and it is difficult to form a powerful and strong threat in TEXTONIC. Instead, it is more appropriate to use long and heavy kills with deep lines as a means of scoring.
4UG5: The performance of TEXTONIC 9 under the 4U specification is a little bit more elegant, perhaps it is waiting for a more suitable time to attack, the lack of absolute offensive ability of the 4U TEXTONIC 9 still need to look for an opportunity to win in a multi-tap hold, and blindly kill the ball may be counterproductive.
5UG5: head-to-weight ratio balance to improve the 5U in the heavy kill, hit the landing point to bring the sharp and its own dynamic characteristics, heavy kill still defy the other side of the defense to dissolve, articulation, more in line with the TEXTONIC of the 5U, such as the point of killing combined with the splitting and hanging of the coherent raid attack.
Summary
Excluding the TEXTONIC 9 in the 5U specifications of its own dynamic characteristics, compared to the spectrum of the predecessor of the TEXTONIC 7, although the overall frame is slightly smaller, but also failed to form a greater speed advantage, the good thing is that the 6.6mm diameter of the slender bionic center tube with a certain degree of lower hardness drive threshold. 3U specifications of the TEXTONIC 9 is not a traditional meaning of the speed of the type of racket, but also not to the end to the thick sequence of the TEXTONIC 9 may be careful to choose 3U specifications. It is not a racquet with traditional speed, but it is not heavy enough to be categorized as a heavy racquet, and doubles players may want to choose the 3U specification carefully.
3UG5 (robust): advanced players with a certain power base and more confidence in their own movement power, more inclined to a strong desire to attack, solid and robust style of play.
4UG5 (propulsion): stable pull hanging, but without losing the ball out of the crisp, strong compatibility is its biggest characteristic, while single and double can be switched.
5UG5 (Raid): In addition to stability, it has good maneuverability and a strong sense of pressure, suitable for advanced doubles players who are keen on coherent offense.
Threading Recommendations
N65 feather line with: I have the honor to experience the latest product of Li-Ning feather line sequence: N65, as its name line diameter (0.65mm) is more recognizable, based on the excellent rebound under the slim line diameter, the rougher line bed can be in the process of hitting the ball drag the surface of the larger friction, characteristic hitting sound effect as a break through the silence of the air whistling sharp and pleasant to the ear, it is rare is more N65 at the same time both a more outstanding playing performance. Outstanding playing performance, in the author’s experience for nearly a month, high-intensity confrontation is only a little “rough”, the overall performance is stable, if coupled with the pro-market price, N65 will be an excellent high elasticity playing feather line, with the same stable TEXTONIC 9 seems to form a strong combination of the form of the official match is a real!
