The Tectonic 1 is a head-heavy Li-Ning racket with a soft, flexible shaft. It gives easy power and a stable feel for both attack and defence, so it suits beginners to intermediate players who want a forgiving racket with some weight in the head.
Key features
- Head-heavy balance (310 mm): helps the shuttle travel on clears and smashes.
- Soft flexible 7 mm shaft: bends easily to add power to a developing swing.
- Carbon fibre frame: light and stable compared with basic aluminium rackets.
- Dynamic Optimum Frame: Li-Ning's head shape for more consistent contact.
