[Review experience] The heavy sword has no blade, and it can be used both offensively and defensively.Li-Ning HALBERTEC 8000 Racket Appreciation

 


After the AXFORCE series and BLADEX series, Li-Ning has also opened up the HALBERTEC 8000 series which focuses on all-roundedness. The HALBERTEC is a fighting weapon with the dual performance of hooking, pecking and stabbing, which can significantly improve the fighting performance. And Li-Ning this time the new series to “HALBERTEC” to name also shows that it in the balance of certain characteristics of the handling, and in the offensive aspects of the wind.


In my impression, the halberd is rough and unruly weapon, some “heavy sword without blade, big and clever,” the characteristics of a strong and overwhelming offensive force to crush the opponent. But after checking to know, as early as in the “Shuowen Jiezi” in: “halberd, the branch of the army also.” Halberd to go, the spear is linked, both straight edge and horizontal edge, was “ten” or “Bu” shape, so the halberd has a hook, pecking, stabbing, cutting and so on a variety of uses, and the exciting skills of badminton and kill, hanging, hooking, rubbing and so on corresponds to the characteristics of both offensive and defensive.


HALBERTEC 8000 is equipped for the first time with Li-Ning’s high-density shock-absorbing centre stick, which greatly improves the recovery of the racket’s strikes, accurate control, precise striking and improved ball quality. The excellent carbon fibre material also gives it tough qualities, and the precise and detailed system also feeds back better control performance.


HALBERTEC 8000 with Chinese ancient weapons “halberd” and “Tai Chi” as inspiration, two-colour clash of colour design integration of modern elements, reflecting the vitality of badminton, while implying the characteristics of the racket both offensive and defensive. The body of the racket frame adopts pink and blue-green colour clash design, which is rich in eye-catching effect and highlights the unconventional personalisation, which is full of youthfulness.


The combination of pink and blue-green colours is not interpreted in a transitional way, but with a steady black colour as a finishing touch, laying down the main theme of the racket’s “stability”. In the middle part of the racket, the black and white colours are linked together, and there are subtle red and green colours in between, which makes the feeling of “black clouds turning over the ink and not covering the mountains, and white rain jumping beads into the boat” quite a bit.


Wei Jin’s Zhang Zai in the “Sword Pavilion Inscription”: “a man with a halberd, ten thousand men hesitate to advance”, every time I observe this sentence, I can not help but think of the Grand Slam winner of the Olympic champion Fu Haifeng. As the spokesman for HALBERTEC 8000, in the colour scheme also strongly refer to its views, in an activity interview, he once said: “Do you know why the 16 years of Rio’s racket is pink? Because 12 years London venue is pink, I hope it continues well.” In the face of HALBERTEC 8000, can not help but feel “if give me another 10 years, I hope to take them to fight again.”


Nowadays, the market has always been to attack and speed type racket is the hottest, the most sought after players, various manufacturers in the R & D design is naturally focused on this, and as the emergence of the control series – HALBERTEC 8000, whether it can shine, become some people’s heart, we will wait and see!
