Li-Ning Bladex Assassin Badminton Racket

Introducing the Li-Ning Bladex Assassin (锋影刺客) – the 2026 speed-focused badminton racket from Li-Ning’s Bladex series, engineered for fast doubles, quick drives, and seamless offensive/defensive transitions. Built with Li-Ning’s SonicBoom wind-shedding frame and 6.6mm MED high-elastic carbon shaft, it delivers lightning-fast swing speeds and crisp, responsive feedback at a mid-range price point.

Available in two colorways (Pearl White/Black & Green Bamboo/Black) and two weight configurations (4U/G5 & 5U/G6), the Bladex Assassin caters to a wide range of players:

* 4U/G5 (≈83g): Slightly heavier for more offensive power and stability, ideal for intermediate players seeking balanced speed & punch.
* 5U/G6 (≈80g): Ultra-light for maximum maneuverability and reduced fatigue, perfect for speed enthusiasts, doubles specialists, and players with average strength.

With a 305mm balanced balance point and short-handle, long-shaft ergonomics, it strikes a sweet spot between net control and back-court drives, making it the ultimate choice for players who want pro-level speed without the pro-level price tag.

Core Technology & Performance Highlights

* SonicBoom Wind-Shedding Frame
Fluid box-shaped profile with aerodynamic shaping – drastically reduces air resistance for faster swing speeds, while the slightly thicker construction boosts torsional stability and reduces frame twisting on hard hits.

* 6.6mm MED High-Elastic Carbon Shaft
Ultra-slim, high-modulus carbon fiber shaft with exceptional elasticity and fast recovery – delivers crisp, responsive feedback, quick offensive/defensive transitions, and explosive snap for smashes and drives.

    * 4U/G5 (≈83g): Balanced weight for power + control, ideal for intermediate players.
    * 5U/G6 (≈80g): Ultra-light for maximum maneuverability + reduced fatigue, perfect for speed/doubles players.
* 
* 305mm Balanced Balance Point
Optimized for speed and versatility – provides enough head weight for offensive smashes and drives, while maintaining the quick handling needed for net play and fast doubles rallies.

* Short-Handle, Long-Shaft Ergonomics
Enhances swing speed and control, with moderate flex for easy power generation – ideal for players with average strength who want pro-level speed without excessive effort.
