[Review Experience] Manipulation in balance, offense and agility-Li Ning HALBERTEC 7000

Jayce September 6, 2024 2 0

When it comes to Li-Ning badminton, do you subconsciously think of the “balance of control” with the author? The popular Wind 9000, the familiar Wind Blade 900, and the balanced and offensive Raid 7, these friendly IP images seem to have their own specialties but can not be detached from its “balance” base, in fact, such a “stereotype” is not a bias towards the Li-Ning badminton racket bias, more from Li-Ning for the balance of the racket shaping expertise, based on the balance of the stable sense of control and strengthen the speed or offense of the feeling of the HALBERTEC series was also born.

Serene and noble turquoise green and vibrant bright red orange, the visual impact of pulling full color collision, capturing your eyes at the same time but also allows you to experience a stream is not a demonic but more stunning beauty, this collision, hit out of the uncommonly unusual feeling, have to sigh Li Ning racket designers in the use of color on the ingenious.

Parameter specifications

The HALBERTEC 7000 in my hand is 3U/4UG5 specification; marking threading poundage: ≤31/30lbs;
76 line hole overall racket frame area is large, racket body length: 677mm; empty racket weight: 81.8g/85.3g;
(and the official labeling of the data error due to the author’s actual measurement for the measurement of the bottom of the rubber, the racket plus the paint, measurement tools are different, etc.)
Empty racket bottom balance point: 3U-296mm; 4U-302mm (on the top line without primer winding 3 layers of primer film 90.5g/98.8g, with Li-Ning’s new GP100 hand glue);
Threaded with: Li-Ning new ball line L67, poundage are 28lbs;
Balance point: 3U-298mm; 4U-303mm;
Official logo center tube diameter: 6.8mm; center tube elasticity hard elastic feedback strong elastic force deformation recovery speed, playing feeling hardness feedback slightly less than HALBERTEC 8000;
Handle length: 210mm (extended handle);

Regrettably throughout the HALBERTEC series, whether 3U or 4U in the configuration of the handle did not appear more convenient to grip the power of the G6 specifications, I am also secretly grateful that I am not a small hand girls.

HALBERTEC 7000 & HALBERTEC 8000 hands on the body feeling

3U of HALBERTEC 7000 and 4U of HALBERTEC 8000 feel and swing weight

Under the same specifications, HALBERTEC 7000 head weight grip feeling is more weak than HALBERTEC 8000, which makes its grip control more dexterous;

HALBERTEC 7000 is not low swing weight (91) but surprisingly dynamic, in order to enhance the 4U’s overall feeling of downward pressure, the designer seems to intentionally adjust the balance point more forward (302mm), but 3U specification of the HALBERTEC 7000 in the center tube of the hit feedback is more rigid, the hit vibration also seems to have been enlarged at the same time, the difficulty of Drive is not inferior to the same specification of the HALBERTEC 8000; and good to get on the hands of the most basic characteristics of the type of racket is exactly the Drive! The most basic characteristic of the type of racket!

HALBERTEC 7000 & HALBERTEC 8000 difference mainly lies in the center tube of the impact feedback and rebound deformation speed

If the HALBERTEC 8000 tends to respond quickly to the flickering deformation of the crunchy bullet after the ball is released, there can be more timing options when attacking and defending.

Similar to the AXFORCE 70, the HALBERTEC 7000 is also a “7” head racket, relatively the easiest to get started in the spectrum, but also the most difficult to fully control the racket. The more concentrated sweet spot distribution brings low forgiveness, which in turn leads to frequent frame hits off the net, naturally quite discouraging, frustrating, but surprisingly consistent. The slight vibration that occurs when hitting non-sweet spot locations in the frame is easy to pick up but not so easy to handle, and the threshold for Drive is so high that it is easy to dissuade some impatient players at first.

High-precision ball pointing is the main characteristic of the HALBERTEC series, and HALBERTEC 7000 will be the control of the sense of play to the extreme, as if an extension of the arm, holding the HALBERTEC 7000 in a series of such as rubbing, put, close, wipe and other needs of delicate control of the hand stroke when the human shooter integrated performance is strong, can be described as a completely free to put it.

Hard and direct offense

The hard hitting feel with Li-Ning’s latest domestic ball line L67 after more and more obvious, clanging crunchy spring line bed body feeling will tend to the speed of the attack more development, the overall playing feeling of the more stable and anti-torsion tuning of the strong racket frame, really fit the HALBERTEC 7000 main sense of control, the nature of the nature of the situation.

Compared to the author at the same time contact with the HALBERTEC 5000, HALBERTEC 7000 in the attack process, especially in the small amplitude of the lead shot in the assault attack on the hardness of the ball feedback is a little too rigid, multi-tap under the coherent mid-pipe rebound deformation is certainly stable, but then it will also give the assault attack to bring a greater burden, so the HALBERTEC 7000 difficult to Drive or more from their own mid-pipe and racket frame tuning rigid.

L67 ball line

Currently not on the market, in the previous conference announced that the L67 will be the first domestic athletic line built by Li-Ning’s efforts.

The HALBERTEC 7000 threading with the Li-Ning L67 has the same (0.67mm) wire diameter as the model name, the batting sound effect is pleasant to the ear, the metal sound effect is obviously with Li-Ning previous N series of N61 batting sound effect is extremely close to the same time in the sense of playing to the main characteristics of the hard bullet, due to the wire diameter is thicker, the endurance of the line will be significantly stronger than the N61, perhaps as a flat replacement for the emergence of the identity of the L67 domestic in price The price of the L67 is also more affordable than that of the N61.

In the racket with the recommendation, HALBERTEC L67 will be more suitable for such as BLADEX 800new, HALBERTEC 5000 such tuning biased towards the tough elastic just need to be hard and straight to neutralize the frame. L67 + HALBERTEC 7000 combination this time really also let me experience the high end of the game of the confrontation against the hard, HALBERTEC 7000 should be more suitable for the main playing BLADEX slightly softer type of line as a collocation.

With the spirit of natural flat pumping

With HALBERTEC 8000 the same, the same is the whole line groove design, balance in the flexibility of the benefit is naturally can be even in the fast-paced doubles to rest assured bold to go with the other side of the flat pumping against the bombing, of course, provided that your hand is 4U HALBERTEC 7000 will let you appreciate what is called want to pumping the impulse, but the higher balance and swing weight will still give the wrist to bring a small burden.

By comparison, although the frame of the HALBERTEC 7000 is slightly larger than the HALBERTEC 8000, it is a slight pity that the rigid-flexible chemistry did not come down on the HALBERTEC 7000 racket. Passive rebound in defense to get rid of the effect is more significant, rebound route and accuracy is also more ideal.

Recommendation Summary

In fact, about the racquet design category, the most difficult to achieve is the balance of the type of racquet, balance always seems to mean mediocre, but Li-Ning is always able to balance the series of racquets frequently bring surprises, this is the author at the beginning of the “good at”. If I were to pick out a few good balanced racquets, then Li-Ning’s Wind and HALBERTEC would naturally be at the top of the list.

The same as the HALBERTEC 8000, HALBERTEC 7000 bright appearance is indeed enough to capture the hearts of a number of appearance party, but do not be confused by its moving appearance, both rackets have a high threshold of the hand, and there are many similarities, the difference between the playing sensation is mainly in the hard and shock-absorbing feel of the feedback, its high volatility of the box structure and the hard and direct hitting body, stable handling, high directionality out of the ball! Quality, slow is four flat, at the same time has a board quite good offense and defense.

It is worth mentioning that HALBERTEC 7000’s 3U and 4U are really two rackets with big difference: 4U on the doubles dexterity, 3U on the single with strong offense!
