Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Li-Ning AXFORCE BigBang (AYPU049) is a lightweight attacking badminton racket engineered for fast swing speed, easy power and precise shot control. Part of the Li-Ning AXFORCE series, it comes in 4U and ultra-light 5U weights, with a medium-flex shaft, head-light to even balance and carbon fibre construction for a smooth, responsive feel and quick shuttle acceleration – built for players who want to attack without losing speed or manoeuvrability.
Key Features
- 4U and 5U weight options – 5U (78–80g) is ultra-light for maximum speed, faster reactions and less fatigue; 4U (80–84g) is slightly heavier for more stability and shot control. Choose speed or stability to suit your style, for developing players and competitive play alike.
- Ultra-lightweight frame – quicker reactions and rapid swing recovery, stronger defence in fast exchanges, less arm strain over long sessions; well suited to doubles and high-tempo play.
- Medium-flex shaft – effortless repulsion for stronger shots, easier clears and smashes, and a forgiving flex that improves timing and consistency for players developing technique and control.
- Head-light to even balance – faster racket-head speed for drives, net play and defensive lifts, with a smooth switch between attack and defence and better control in fast rallies.
- Carbon fibre construction – a durable high-grade carbon frame that keeps performing under repeated use and improves energy transfer, light yet stable.
- String tension support up to 27 lbs – tune it for more power or more control, for attacking or control-oriented set-ups.
