Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket (Black/Gold)

Key Features of Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket:

• Ultra‑Light 6U Construction (≈72 g) : Around 70–74 g (6U), dramatically lighter than standard 3U/4U rackets; swing speed and reaction time increase noticeably in defence and flat exchanges.
• Head‑Heavy Balance (~315 mm) : Despite the weight, the balance is genuinely head‑heavy (retailers quote ~315 mm), giving some extra shuttle weight on smashes and clears compared with typical head‑light 6U frames.
• Flexible Slim Shaft : Flexible shaft gives easy repulsion and forgiveness, particularly useful when technique or timing is not perfect.
• Dynamic Optimum Frame : Li‑Ning’s Dynamic Optimum Frame enlarges the sweet spot and moves it slightly upwards, improving power and consistency on both attack and defence.
• Aerotec‑Beam System + UHB Shaft : Aerotec‑Beam reduces air drag around the frame, while the UHB (Ultra High Balance) Shaft and slim profile optimise energy transfer for higher shuttle speed.
• TB‑Nano / High Carbon Construction : TB‑Nano technology binds carbon fibre and resin more tightly, improving stability, elasticity and durability in a very thin, light frame.

Who is Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket suitable for?

Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket is ideal for:

• Fast doubles players who rely on quick defence, flat drives and front‑court interceptions, and don’t want to swing a heavy 3U.
• Intermediate club players (and athletic beginners) who want a very light racket that is easy on the arm but still has some head‑heaviness for rear‑court power.
• Anyone with elbow/shoulder sensitivity who struggles with heavier, stiffer frames; the 6U weight and flexible shaft reduce joint load.

On‑Court Performance of Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket:

• Defence & speed: This is where Li-Ning Windstorm 72 Badminton Racket shines. Defence against smashes and fast drives feels effortless – “casually returning smashes without thinking” is a common sentiment. Reaction time improves simply because there is so little mass to move.
• Smash power: For a 6U, it can still “pack a punch from the rear court” thanks to the head‑heavy BP and flexible shaft. But compared with a 3U/4U hammer, pure smash power is naturally lower – angles are good, weight is moderate, not monstrous.
• Control & feel: Flexible shaft gives nice repulsion1 and is forgiving. Because the overall mass is low, some advanced players feel less “solidity” on very hard hits, but for the target user (doubles/intermediate) control is more than adequate.
