The Halbertec 8000 belongs to Li-Ning's control-focused Halbertec series. Its even balance lets you move quickly between defence, drives and attack, and the firm shaft gives a direct response for placing the shuttle accurately. It suits intermediate to advanced players, especially in doubles or all-round singles.
Key features
- Even balance (302 mm balance point): neutral feel that makes it quick to switch between defence, drives and attack.
- T1100 carbon fibre: high-strength carbon that keeps the frame firm and responsive.
- Shock-absorbing construction: takes the sting out of impact for a cleaner feel.
- Dynamic Optimum Frame: Li-Ning's head shape for more consistent contact across the string bed.

Stringing
You can add professional stringing on this page: choose your string and tension, and we string it at our Point Cook shop. See our racket stringing service.
Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
All-round play with an emphasis on control. The even balance keeps it quick in fast exchanges, while the firm shaft gives accurate placement. Li-Ning lists it for professional-level players.
Should I choose 3U or 4U?
3U (85–89 g) feels more solid and stable on blocks and drives. 4U (80–84 g) is lighter and quicker to manoeuvre. Both have a G5 grip and the same even balance.
What string tension do you recommend?
Li-Ning rates the 3U up to 31 lbs and the 4U up to 30 lbs. Stay at or below the limit for your version.
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).
How long does delivery take, and can I pick it up?
Items in our Australian stock ship Australia-wide, usually within 2–6 business days. You can also contact us to arrange pickup from our shop at 15 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook VIC 3030.
