Lining Air Force 79 G2 Carbon Fibre Badminton Racket

The Li-Ning Air Force 79 G2 carbon fibre badminton racket pairs a military-grade carbon frame with a balanced head profile, giving you the reach and stability to switch between attack and defence without hesitation. Weighing just 79 grams with a flexible 7.0mm slim shaft, it is engineered for intermediate and advanced players who want a well-rounded weapon on the court rather than a pure smasher.

Why This Badminton Racket Stands Out

The Air Force G2 series re-engineers the original Air Force platform with lightweight material optimisation. Li-Ning tuned the 79-gram variant for balance rather than raw head weight, which means you get the power transfer of a head-heavy design paired with the swing speed usually reserved for speed rackets. That balanced feel is ideal for all-round doubles play, ladder drives and front-court interceptions.

Quality & Materials

Every Air Force G2 frame is built with military-grade carbon fibre and Li-Ning's TB-Nano technology, a nanometer-level bonding of carbon fibre and resin that increases frame strength by roughly 20% without adding weight. The Aerotec Beam System trims drag through the air so each swing carries less resistance, and the Dynamic Optimum Frame reshapes the head to enlarge the sweet spot for cleaner contact on off-centre hits.

Performance On Court

With a maximum string tension of 30 lbs and a flexible shaft profile, the racket loads energy into every smash and returns it cleanly on follow-through. Reviewers consistently describe the 79g variant as light in the hand yet capable of generating strong rear-court clears, which is why intermediate players keep returning to it as their tournament pick. The 670mm length and S1 grip size match standard international sizing.

What's in the Box

Each racket arrives unstrung with a free full cover for safe storage in your kit bag. You can take it to a stringer in Dubai or Abu Dhabi for your preferred tension, typically 27-30 lbs depending on your playing style.
