[Review Experience] More than just a skinned Green Butterfly – BLADEX 800new Non-Professional Review

Jayce September 6, 2024 4 0

Compared to the AXFORCE and HALBERTEC series, Li Ning’s new three series in the BLADEX series has not been discussed much, and this year is also the launch of the BLADEX 800 iteration of the product 800new. ningzi: I didn’t think of it, in addition to the pro and PLUS, I can still use this suffix. Not much to say. Still from the objective parameters and subjective experience of this racket to do a non-professional evaluation.

Appearance of personal evaluation series face value peak, very texture green and butterfly elements with, ball friends see will come to play a little. Li-Ning’s paint and water texture belongs to the first glance is very catching type, I almost get the ball friends will sigh a good beautiful beat. However, the design of the elements feel that Li-Ning can still make some progress, each series to maintain a consistent design language is even better.

The basic parameters of the hand of this 4ug6: 675mm standard length, 210mm the current mainstream handle length, with the line does not go to the bottom 102C thin rubber balance point 294mm, full weight 88g. Li Ning’s own wind-breaking frame type, I personally feel that the frame design is not as radical as the rest of the two families, to give the feeling that it will be a little more sturdy, relative to the swing speed enhancement in the low balance point is still more than enough. Full line groove, measured 6.9-7.0mm diameter of the middle shaft, remove the paint and advertised 6.8mm is also in line with the very large racket face, if you have played the Godspeed 100x players will be very familiar with the size of the racket face as well as the size of the middle shaft, but the balance point on the 800new lower, the middle shaft feedback of the hardness of the higher (it is difficult to imagine the old BLADEX 800 how hard), for the user’s threshold is significantly higher! The bar for users has been raised significantly.

Talking about how it feels to use it after pairing it with a 27/28 exb63 string. As I mentioned before, although it has been officially mentioned that the new model is a bit more sugary, it’s still a more advanced racquet, which is not uncommon in today’s sugary market. With a power level of around 4 I personally experienced it to be barely usable. On the plus side, with the large frame, the swing speed is fast and the flat draws and defensive variations are very comfortable. Thanks to the good elasticity of the middle of the racket, although the design is not good for borrowing power, but the whip shot is still very good in place after the power of the high, flat and high. The 800new is very good at rolling the ball and chopping the ball, and the first time I used the 800new, I was very comfortable with it. Thanks to the stiff centre, the feedback is good and the shots are sharp, so it should be a good tool in the hands of a non-violent player who wants to be more consistent. Lastly, I would like to talk about the big power kill attack, because of its relatively balanced weight distribution, the process of power is very smooth, that is to say, it is very easy to shake it up, if you don’t hit the ball fast enough, you will feel that the power is wasted in the heavy kills and not delivered to the ball, which is a higher requirement for the user, and it is hard to play the racket with the performance that it should have if you don’t have enough ability.

I purchased at my own expense BLADEX 900 sun, moon, 800new, as well as other brands of 90k2, 100x, nf800lt, nf1000z, nf800p and other comparative objects, is also considered to be a loyal fan of the speed shot. The overall evaluation of this BLADEX 800new is considered to be the most favourite of the three branches, but unfortunately, Li-Ning this series has not been hot, I hope that in the future to be able to re-innovate breakthroughs, to create a new product with good reputation and performance.
