It was great when it came to placement and control, but the lack of whip in the shaft made it harder to clear and smash. <br /><br />Hope this helps!Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124500583168930888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-34006328108913101072013-07-11T11:45:58.792+08:002013-07-11T11:45:58.792+08:00Hi Arthur

An arm player like yourself might see a little drop in strength for shots.<br /><br />Here's what you can do as an experiment. Use an overgrip and tie slightly higher up your N55-II shaft. See if that helps.<br /><br />Let me know!Arthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124500583168930888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359356.post-34895475598599364912013-06-07T08:51:02.704+08:002013-06-07T08:51:02.704+08:00Thanks for the advise Arthur. Great website and g...Thanks for the advise Arthur. Great website and great review on all things badminton. <br /><br />I must say I am a self learned badminton player since primary. Definitely don't have the wrist strength and I do use more arm motion. So I do agree my technique maybe lacking but I didn't think that I was lacking that much that just hitting a lop during stroke will be so hard with this racquet. <br /><br />However, when I used the N55 version 1 clearing with it was such a breeze and almost effortless. I know the the V1 is stiffer than V2. Could this be it? Unless there is fake but I did authenticate using the Li Ning website. <br /><br />Again appreciate any insights you have on this. Can't wait to read your review on the racquet.

And...Clears should be relatively easy to execute. <br /><br />And 25lbs is a decent tension not to require too much wrist to execute.<br /><br />Might want to work on your technique.

I haven't tried Li Ning before.
