Li Ning Lt66 Power String Review

Overview

Li-Ning LT66 Power — the coated power variant in the 0.66 mm LT family. Stringing: jacket feels dry on the spool; once tensioned, surface slip drops and handling normalises. Overall feel: firmer than Victor VBS-66N at the same gauge, softer than Yonex BG80 — solid bed, little movement, good tension hold. Small wrist-and-finger shots gather power clearly; on full swings the shuttle leaves slightly slower than on touch hits. Carbon-nanotube plus fine gauge helps receive-kill defence, passive escapes, and backhand clears without forcing huge input. Durability: top tier among 0.66 mm peers at similar tension. Clears: crisp tone, clear hand feedback; coating and material give high repulsion without max effort. Flat drives: nanotube helps — quick, directional output without heavy arm swing. Less soft-spring pocket than 66N; shorter hold time. Net play: bed runs firm — spins and tight drops need finer touch than on LT66 base. Hold is still better than plain LT66; Power coating loosens net control a notch. Drops: fine gauge plus coating speeds the shuttle; moderate input reaches target. Smashes: crisp and hard; bed feels stiff — drop 1–2 lb versus your usual 66N setup and smash feel jumps. Suits attack-minded players. Summary: excellent for net-front flat exchanges and rear-court offence in doubles. Coating stiffness makes the bed firm — consider -1 to -2 lb. Output is direct and directional. Net touch is average, hold weaker than thick strings but better than LT66. Not for pure control-and-lift singles grinders unless you like fiddling with tension.
