Version · 4 optionsBladex 500Change

The Bladex 500 is a versatile Li-Ning racket, with a 6.8 mm stiff shaft and a light head. The 4U version weighs 80 to 84 g, with a G6 grip, balance point at 295 mm, 675 mm length, and tension up to 28 lbs; the 3U version weighs 87 to 89 g with a G5 grip. It uses TB Nano, the HDF damping system, and Sharp Wind technology to stabilize the frame. It is fast in exchanges and precise, and the firm shaft returns the power of players who already have a swing well, but it demands technique.

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.
