Overview
Li-Ning Li Jian full-carbon dual-pack is a gift-and-beginner set: two pearl-white frames, spare grips in the box, light swing, huge sweet spot. This is not Bladex Arrow (Bladex EX), the slim speed “net assassin” already on the site. Different product lane — budget dual kit versus flagship Bladex trim.
Setup
Full-carbon frame and shaft, moderate flex, integrated T-joint, large head, soft grommet tubes, comfort grip. Weight stays low enough that weak wrists stop fighting the tool after half a court. Cosmetics: matte pearl white that reads clean under hall lights — vanity is half the sell.
On court
First sessions after borrowing heavier sticks: I could keep form for a full game instead of collapsing at mid-court. Soft net work and clears borrow shaft spring easily; occasional kills land with enough pace to feel rewarding without demanding structure. Off-centre hits still clear the net more often than they should — the big bed is the point. Durability for the price surprised me: light doubles knocks left the hoop unmarked. Spare grips matter because stock wrap goes slick; swapping restores hold. Parent–kid and casual weekend use fit the brief; it is also a harmless training aid if you want soft feedback while learning contact.
Who should buy
Buy the dual-pack if you need two light carbon sticks for starters, office games, or family play and like the white look. Skip if you want Bladex Arrow’s speed-attack manners, or any serious competition blank — step into named Bladex / AxForce / Aeronaut lines instead.
Verdict
Honest beginner dual kit with real carbon and real forgiveness. Call it Li Jian dual-pack; leave Bladex Arrow for the speed article.
