Li-Ning Halbertec Motor Pro Badminton Racket

Positioning
Engineered for accuracy-driven players who want tour-level touch without tour-level weight. Li-Ning bills it as “the most precise racket we have ever built,” yet real-world testing shows it remains light and forgiving enough for ambitious intermediates.
Key Technologies
• 6.8 mm Ultra-slim shaft – thinnest in the Halbertec line; lowers air-drag and enlarges shaft-flex window for extra “hold time” on shuttles.
• SW Even-Balance calibration – mass distributed along 290-292 mm axis, giving the fast feel of a head-light frame while keeping solid momentum for flat drives.
• HDF Shock-Absorption System – visco-elastic polymer embedded at T-joint cuts 23 % of impact vibration (factory data).
• Stabilised Layout / Dynamic Optimum Frame – high-modulus graphite lay-up with wider sweet-spot; off-centre shots lose < 5 % speed compared with centre hits.
• Dual-weight programme – 4U (≈ 82 g) and 5U (≈ 77 g) options let players choose power or speed bias without changing balance point.

On-Court Translation
• Control: shaft flex and even balance add micro-seconds of shuttle contact, letting players carve drops and hair-pins with scalpel accuracy.
• Defence: 5U frame swings < 0.27 s on 30 cm drive block test—fast enough for doubles net scrambles.
• Offence: smash speed relies on wrist snap; expect placement over raw weight—ideal for rally-and-pounce rather than outright winners.
• Fatigue: HDF system keeps forearm muscle activity 15 % lower than conventional stiff frame after 30 min continuous hitting (university lab data).
Target User
Advanced intermediates to professionals who prioritise placement, touch and long-session comfort. Juniors and female athletes gravitate to the 5U; male club attackers who want more mass prefer the 4U.
Bottom Line
The Halbertec Motor Pro merges feather-light manoeuvrability with laboratory-grade precision, making it Li-Ning’s most user-friendly “control flagship” to date.
