The AXFORCE 40 is a head-heavy Li-Ning attacking racket with a soft, flexible shaft. The soft shaft helps generate power with less effort, making it a good fit for intermediate players who like to attack but do not yet have a very fast swing.
Key features
- Head-heavy balance: puts weight behind smashes and clears.
- Soft flexible 6.8 mm shaft: bends easily for effortless power and a forgiving feel.
- Carbon fibre frame with Dynamic Optimum Frame shape for consistent contact.
- 4U weight with a slim G6 grip: easy to handle and quick to adjust between shots.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
Attack, made easier by a soft shaft. It suits intermediate players who want head-heavy power without a stiff, demanding frame.
What weight and grip is it?
4U (80–84 g unstrung frame) with a G6 grip, which is thinner than G5.
What string tension do you recommend?
Li-Ning rates it up to 28 lbs. Stay at or below that limit.
Does it come strung? Can you string it for me?
On the racket page you can choose "Keep original condition", or "Add professional stringing" and pick your string and tension; we then string it at our Point Cook shop. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included (for example YONEX BG65 $27, BG80 $30).
