The AXFORCE 80 is a head-heavy attacking racket that combines a slim, flexible shaft with a stable box-section frame. The flexible shaft helps load power into each swing, so it suits intermediate to advanced players who like to attack from the back of the court in singles or doubles.
Key features
- Box Wing Frame: a box-section frame profile that feels solid and stable when you hit through a full smash.
- Wing Stabilizer: helps the head resist twisting, so off-centre hits stay more controlled.
- HDF Shock Absorption: dampens vibration at impact for a cleaner, more comfortable feel.
- FRTP Technology: a fibre-reinforced thermoplastic element Li-Ning uses to toughen the frame.
- 6.6 mm slim flexible shaft: less air drag and an easier 'whip', so you can generate power without an elite swing speed.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
It is an attacking racket. The head-heavy balance adds weight to smashes, and the flexible shaft makes that power easier to reach for intermediate to advanced players.
What weight and grip is it?
4U G5: an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g with a G5 grip. For YONEX-style sizing, G5 is thinner than G4.
What string tension do you recommend?
Li-Ning rates the 4U AXFORCE 80 up to 30 lbs. Stay at or below 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.
