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.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
Attack. It is head-heavy (about 305 mm balance point) to put weight behind smashes, with a flexible shaft that helps intermediate players reach that power.
What weight and grip is it?
About 83 g, which is the 4U class (80–84 g unstrung), with a G5 grip.
What string tension do you recommend?
Li-Ning rates the 4U Tiger Max 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).
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.
