Someone is definitely taking cues from some other company, regardless it looks great with the EVA colorway

What a beautiful colour, is it only available to china national team? Or can it be purchased only in china?

They sell it overseas too but its extremely expensive

I was right then . . .

was watching Daniel Marthin at finals of Hongkong Open last week and left wondering what racket did he use because it was so full of green and purple, got a feeling it must have been a halbertec series due the dual color signature

strangely enough, I dont think Marthin was very fond of it, he changed back to his turbocharging/3dcalibar in the middle of the match, lol

VN badminton posted a review, with measurements -
for 4U
weight 84.5
BP 296mm
swing weight 85.8
stiffness 7.7 - stiff

quite decent swing weight with a rather low BP - promising combination

Quick review of the 4u version, 27lbs.

It's noticeably stiff (coming from an N9II and other current 3U nanoflare/astrox rackets). Not much head-weight to compensate and help bend the shaft which makes it difficult during drive, defense or late scenarios to get a good length. It can be quite challenging to generate enough power so I'd advise it only for more advanced players. Sweet spot is also very small, like a compact frame racket

During full smash, you get a really whippy/soft sensation which is quite the opposite of what you would expect actually. The sound is almost too good, it feels like the biggest smash ever though the shuttle is lacking weight (slows down rapidly) compared to other 3u/head-heavy racket lines.

Pros : Even-balance and stiffness makes for a great control racket (variety, quality of drops, slices, ...)
Cons : Difficult to generate power

I will say I agree with this (mostly). Coming from an Arcsaber 11pro, I kind of expected essentially a stiffer Arc 11 pro but it's kind of hard to describe. It's definitely stiffer, but for some reason I find generating power a LOT easier than the 11pro (to the point where I was spraying a heck of a lot of my shots out in to space) and the directional control is a lot easier/better too.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but I've noticed that the 9000 has a sort of strip thing at the top of the head, kind of like the control assist bumper on the 11pro. No idea what it is, since Li Ning never does any actual marketing. And the handle and cone also feel pretty long as well, to the point where I just don't like to touch the cone. Which is strange because when I put them side by side, the handle of the 11pro is actually longer, but the cone of the 9000 is longer. I'm not CKYew, so no measurements unfortunately.

Can you may be share side-by-side pics ?

Kind of remembering how much I hate forums, since apparently uploading pictures is just beyond me I guess

that is a long grip, probably 100zz long

Random question. Is that a Thai sourced Halbertec 9000?
