The AXFORCE 90 Tiger Max is a head-heavy attacking racket from Li-Ning's AXFORCE series, with a slim, flexible shaft that makes heavy smashes easier to produce. It suits intermediate to advanced players who like to take the shuttle early and attack in singles or doubles.
Key features
- 6.2 mm slim flexible shaft: cuts air resistance and stores energy in the swing for easier power.
- Box Wing Frame: a box-section frame for a stable, solid feel on full-power shots.
- Wing Stabilizer: reduces twisting of the head for steadier off-centre contact.
- HDF Shock Absorption: softens vibration at impact for comfort over long sessions.
- FRTP Technology: fibre-reinforced thermoplastic used by Li-Ning to strengthen the frame.
