The Windstorm 72S is an ultra-light Li-Ning racket at about 72 g, with a flexible shaft and a head-heavy balance. It is very easy to swing yet still carries some weight in the head for clears and smashes, so it suits beginners, juniors and intermediate players who want speed with a bit of power.
Key features
- About 72 g (6U): very light, so it is quick to swing and easy on the arm and shoulder.
- Head-heavy balance (315 mm): adds weight behind shots despite the light frame.
- Flexible 7 mm shaft: bends easily to help players generate power with a shorter swing.
- Dynamic Optimum Frame: a head shape aimed at more consistent contact.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
Players who want a very light racket: beginners, juniors and intermediate players. The head-heavy balance still helps on clears and smashes.

What string tension do you recommend?
Li-Ning rates the Windstorm 72S up to 30 lbs. Do not string above 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).
