Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Li-Ning AXForce Cannon (AYPT307-4) is a badminton racket built for players taking their first real steps into the sport – juniors, beginners and recreational adults who want a racket that feels powerful, comfortable and easy to use. A head-heavy balance and flexible shaft help you hit longer clears, more penetrating smashes and more stable shots overall.
If you are upgrading from a basic starter racket, or want a racket that helps you produce power without straining your arm, the AXForce Cannon is one of the best value-for-performance choices available.
Key Features
- Head-heavy balance (300 mm) – helps generate more power from slower or developing swing speeds: easier smashes, longer clears and more stability on contact.
- Flexible, beginner-friendly shaft – the shaft bends more during the swing, creating a whip effect that boosts acceleration, reduces strain on the arm and helps beginners develop correct timing.
- High carbon construction – stronger and lighter than aluminium; durable, with better shot consistency, feel and stability.
- Length and grip – 675 mm total length, 200 mm grip length and a G5 grip (small and easy to hold). Works well for juniors moving to full-size rackets and adults with smaller hands.
Performance Overview
The AXForce Cannon suits players who want:
- Easy power without perfect technique
- Stable, comfortable hitting with reduced vibration
- More length in clears and easier back-court recovery
- Better control while developing timing and consistency
- A forgiving, confidence-building racket for rapid improvement
Li-Ning designed this model specifically for learning and progression, without sacrificing the quality and performance expected from a recognised professional brand.
Who Is It For?
- Beginners learning proper technique
- Junior players moving to their first “real” racket
- Adult recreational players
- Anyone who wants more power without extra effort
- Players upgrading from a supermarket, steel or aluminium racket
If you want a comfortable, power-friendly racket that helps you progress faster, this is the right choice.
Central Sports Opinion
The AXForce Cannon is one of the most forgiving and powerful beginner rackets we have tested this season. The flexible shaft gives new players a real confidence boost, while the head-heavy profile makes it much easier to generate strong, deep shots. It is a genuine step up in quality for anyone beginning to take badminton seriously.
