Setting up the Li-Ning BladeX 200 Unstrung Badminton Racket 4U is simple and ensures you get the best performance once it is ready for play. Follow the steps below to prepare, string, and maintain your racket effectively.

Step 1: Inspect the Frame and Grommets

Before stringing, check the racket for any cracks, irregularities, or damaged grommets. Ensure the frame remains intact, especially around the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock areas where tension is highest.

Step 2: Choose the Right Strings

The BladeX 200 allows for customized tension, up to 26 lbs. Select strings that match your playing style—thin gauge strings for control and repulsion, thicker strings for durability. Popular choices include repulsion-based strings for speed-type players.

Step 3: String the Racket Properly

Ensure a professional or trained stringer works on the racket due to its carbon fiber build. Follow the recommended tension:

• Vertical: < 26 lbs

• Horizontal: < 26 lbs
  Proper cross and main patterns must be used to avoid damaging the frame.

Step 4: Grip Adjustment

The G6 grip size is thin and lightweight. Players who prefer a thicker grip can add an overgrip for improved cushioning, sweat absorption, and better handling. Ensure grips are wrapped tightly and aligned smoothly.

Step 5: Warm-Up and Racket Testing

After stringing, gently test the string bed by pressing lightly with your thumb. Perform a few swing routines to familiarize yourself with the balance point and weight distribution.

Step 6: Maintenance & Storage

Clean the frame with a dry cloth after each session. Avoid storing the racket in hot places, such as inside cars during UAE summers. Use a protective cover to shield the racket from scratches and humidity.

Troubleshooting:

• Strings moving excessively: Tension may be too low—consider restringing.

• Racket feels unstable: Add or adjust the grip size.

• Frame vibration: Switch to vibration-dampening strings or increase grip cushioning.

1. Is the Li-Ning BladeX 200 good for intermediate players?

Yes. The Li-Ning BladeX 200 is designed for players progressing from beginner to intermediate levels. Its stiff flex, lightweight 4U construction, and aerodynamic frame help improve shuttle control, speed, and precision. Intermediate players benefit from its smooth swing feel and the ability to customize string tension to match personal play style.

2. What does 4U mean in badminton rackets?

“4U” refers to the racket’s weight category. A 4U badminton racket typically weighs between 83–86 grams, making it lighter and easier to maneuver. Lighter rackets like 4U are ideal for defensive play, fast reactions, and players who rely on speed rather than raw power.

3. Should I buy a strung or unstrung badminton racket?

Unstrung rackets offer greater customization, allowing players to choose their preferred string type and tension. This is ideal for players with specific playing styles or performance needs. Strung rackets are more convenient for beginners, but an unstrung model like the BladeX 200 gives you the freedom to optimize control, durability, or power by selecting your own string setup.
