Li-Ning AxForce 100 Max Badminton Racket

Li-Ning AxForce 100 Max (AYPW047)

The Li-Ning AxForce 100 Max is a head-heavy attacking racket for expert players. It has a stiff 6.2mm Ultra-Modulus slim shaft, a Box Wing frame and a 30 lb string rating, and it is built for players whose game starts with the smash.

How it plays

The weight sits in the head, so the racket carries real momentum into a full smash. Clears go deep without much effort.

The 6.2mm shaft is stiff and slim. It snaps back fast when you swing hard, and it gives you very little if your swing is late.

Li-Ning's HDF Shock Absorption System takes the sting out of contact. The feel is more cushioned than sharp, which some players love and others find a bit muted.

This is not a racket you grow into. Buy it when your smash is already there.

What's inside the frame

The frame uses M46 and T1100 carbon with Ultra Carbon, which keeps it light but strong. The Box Wing shape holds the frame steady through the swing.

FRTP Tech and Polymer Energy are Li-Ning's repulsion technologies. Together they help the shuttle leave the strings faster on attacking shots.

Who it suits

• Advanced singles players who attack from the back court.
• Doubles players who take the rear and hit most of the smashes.
• Players who string at 26 lbs or higher and generate their own racket-head speed.

Who should skip it

• Beginners and intermediate players. The stiff shaft and heavy head are hard work with a developing swing.
• Front-court doubles players. A head-light racket will turn faster at the net.
• Players who want a crisp, sharp feel at contact. The shock absorption softens feedback.

AxForce 100 vs AxForce 100 Max

Both are stiff, head-heavy power rackets. The 100 Max adds HDF shock absorption, so contact feels softer. The original Li-Ning AxForce 100 has the thinner 6.0mm shaft and is also made in 3U.
