Version · 18 options3D Calibar X CombatChange

The 3D Calibar X Combat is the attacking version of the 3D Calibar X line, with the 3D Calibar geometric frame that reduces air resistance. Like every Li-Ning Combat racket, it has a heavier head and a high balance point: 302 mm, at 85 g (4U), a 7 mm flexible shaft, S1 grip (equivalent to G5) and up to 30 lbs. It uses TB Nano, Aerotec Beam and MPCF reinforcement. It delivers a heavy smash and a distinct sound, but is slower than the ultralights in fast net exchanges.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%43
Approval from players35%56

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
