  BadmintonCN: the BadmintonCN reviewer's AxForce 90 New review (Jan 2026)

  4U sample: 89.5g w/ underbase removed, balance 304mm w/ N65@26-28lb. 6.4mm shaft (up from 6.2mm of AxForce 90 Dragon-Tiger). Reviewer's verdict: Li-Ning's strongest shaft yet. Permeable feel, full elasticity, balanced hardness; high ceiling AND high floor. Despite small frame, sweet spot is forgiving — minimal mishits in fast men's doubles. Anti-torsion excellent even with the thinner shaft. Wins over the older AxForce 80 across the board; reviewer keeps the AxForce 90 New, retiring the 80.

  BadmintonCN: the BadmintonCN reviewer's vs Astrox 88DP New Color (Jan 2026)

  vs Yonex Astrox 88DP New Color: AxForce 90 New shaft is slightly softer (one tier). 88DP New Color edges it on raw rear-court attack, off-string speed, feedback clarity, and pointing accuracy — all 'elite tier' on the Yonex. AxForce 90 New has better frame pocketing for delicate net shots and drops, where 88DP New Color feels comparatively quick-firing.
