A budget carbon racket from Li-Ning's Chen Long signature line, with his initials on a slim 7 mm shaft. It is a light, flexible, head-heavy 4U aimed at beginners who want to try an attacking set-up cheaply. Not a pro frame, but it is the racket that actually carries Chen Long's name.
- Very low price for a carbon racket
- Flexible shaft and head-heavy balance help new players generate power
- Dynamic Optimum frame is meant to give a larger sweet spot
- Entry-level build with a 30 lb maximum tension
