Editor's take

Second-generation AxForce 100 (雷霆 100 二代) — Li-Ning's most direct stylistic answer to the Yonex Astrox 100ZZ. 6.2mm thin shaft, small fluid box-frame square head, strong pocketing on contact. Slightly softer shaft than the 100ZZ and meaningfully easier to drive while keeping the tough-elastic attack feel.

  BadmintonCN: AxForce 100 Gen 2 attack-racket roundup (Mar 2026)

  4U: 88.6g w/ underbase removed, balance 308mm. Sample variance: 4 brand-new 4U samples weighed 83.0/83.9/84.7/85.1g unstrung — ~2g range. Tough-elastic feel similar to Astrox 100ZZ; ~1 tier softer shaft than 100ZZ Kurenai. Stronger pocketing than Astrox 88DP New Color, less crisp off-string. Better defense than 100ZZ thanks to easier shaft loading; rear-court attack still authoritative but slightly less punishing than 100ZZ. Frame slightly narrower than AxForce 90 New, sweet spot smaller — needs ~10 sessions to dial in. Reviewers' consensus: sugar-water 100ZZ for advanced amateurs.

  BadmintonCN: AxForce 100 Gen 2 vs 90 New

  Heavier swing weight than 90 New, slightly stiffer shaft. Better rear-court power and pointing accuracy; sharper drops. Worse on swing speed, front-court reflex, and forgiving sweet spot. 90 New is the better choice for amateurs and fast doubles; 100 Gen 2 is the better choice for players who want pure attack with control characteristics.
