Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket (Black)

Key features of Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket:

The Windstorm 79 H sits in the “super‑light but still attacking” niche, rather than the usual control‑only ultralight.

• Super‑light 5U weight (79 g) : The frame weighs around 79 g (5U), making it significantly lighter than most 4U attacking rackets and even many 5U all‑rounders. This low static weight dramatically reduces arm fatigue, lets players accelerate the racket head very quickly, and suits long sessions in hot, humid Indian halls where heavier frames can feel like a burden.
• Even‑to‑head‑heavy attacking balance : Windstorm 79 H as even balance with a 298 mm balance point. In practice, this means: the frame still turns very quickly, but there is enough mass towards the head that clears, drives and smashes do not feel “tinny” the way many head‑light superlights can.
• Stiff/“hard” slim shaft for precision : The shaft as stiff / hard shaft, aimed at advanced players who like to hit hard and precisely; some European listings tag the overall flex as “hi‑flex” because the light frame and dynamic shaft can feel whippy at lower tensions. Functionally, it plays in the medium‑stiff to stiff range, giving a crisp, connected feel and rewarding full, fast swings with a flat, penetrating shuttle trajectory.
• Max tension up to 30 lbs : Maximum recommended tension of 30 lbs, with some Indian sellers quoting up to 30–31 lbs. Combined with the TB Nano / Ultra Carbon frame build, this allows very tight control setups for advanced doubles and singles while keeping the frame structurally safe.
• G6 compact grip for quick handling : The racket uses Li‑Ning’s small G6 grip, which suits Asian‑style grip changes, finger power and quick pronation; it also allows Indian players to overgrip to their preferred thickness without making the handle bulky.

Technologies used in Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket:

Li‑Ning loads the Windstorm 79 H with its core speed‑and‑stability tech stack:

• Super Light Technology : Super Light Technology is Li‑Ning’s process of using carefully optimised carbon layups and resin systems to reduce overall weight while controlling stiffness and durability. In the 79 H, this produces a 79 g frame that still tolerates 30 lbs tension and attacking play, cutting air resistance and helping your swing feel more sensitive, controlled and flexible at high speed.
• Dynamic‑Optimum Frame : The Dynamic Optimum Frame reshapes the isometric head to enlarge and slightly shift the sweet spot, improving both power and forgiveness. The result is more consistent shuttle speeds across the stringbed and better performance on slightly off‑centre contacts, especially important on a fast, light frame where timing errors naturally occur.
• Aerotec Beam System : The Aerotec Beam System uses airflow modelling to sculpt the cross‑section of the frame, reducing drag and turbulence through the swing. This helps the 79 H maintain high racket‑head speed with less effort, allowing players to react quicker in defence and generate attacking pace even when under time pressure at the back court.
• UHB Shaft (Ultra High Balance Shaft) : The UHB shaft design raises the flex point and improves shaft recovery speed and torsional stability, supporting both quick drives and solid smashes. In a 79 g frame, this is key to preventing the racket from feeling floppy or unstable on big hits.
• TB Nano / Ultra Carbon construction : TB Nano refers to nano‑scale bonding of carbon fibres and resin, which increases material density and toughness so the frame can be lighter without sacrificing strength.

Together, these technologies make the racket feel light but not fragile, fast but not hollow, and give it a notably “clean” impact sound at higher tensions.

Who is Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket for?

Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket is best suitable for:

• Fast attacking doubles players who play a lot of drives, pushes, interceptions and quick rear‑court attacks rather than only big, slow power smashes.
• All‑court singles players who rely on speed, recovery and precision, more than sheer mass‑based power.

The combination of 79 g weight + attacking‑biased balance + stiff shaft lets such players stay on the attack without feeling sluggish on defence.

Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket vs similar models from other brands:

The Windstorm 79 H fits in the ultralight, attacking‑leaning 5U category.

• Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket vs Li‑Ning Windstorm 700 / 700 SE : Windstorm 700 SE is also 5U and head‑light, but with a more flexible shaft and more defensive / control‑oriented balance, tuned for intermediates chasing pure speed and ease. The 79 H is stiffer and more attacking, giving better punch for advanced players who like to hit hard.
• Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket vs Yonex Nanoflare Light series : Yonex Nanoflare Light frames are ultralight and head‑light, but generally more flexible and control‑oriented. The 79 H feels more solid and attacking‑capable thanks to its balance and shaft profile, especially at higher tensions.
• Li‑Ning Windstorm 79 H Badminton Racket vs Victor Auraspeed 9/LightSpeed types : Victor’s light Auraspeed models are quick but can be harsher at high tensions. The 79 H’s Dynamic Optimum Frame and TB Nano give a slightly more forgiving, lively sweet spot with better “catapult” for its weight.
