Li-Ning 3D Calibar 009 Boost
Li-Ning’s regional product page identifies the 3D Calibar 009 Boost as an 84 g, head-heavy carbon-fibre racket with product code AYPN222-4. That same page contradicts itself about shaft flex, so Dribon does not resolve the model as definitively stiff, medium, or flexible.

The short answer
Li-Ning’s regional product page identifies the 3D Calibar 009 Boost as an 84 g, head-heavy carbon-fibre racket with product code AYPN222-4. That same page contradicts itself about shaft flex, so Dribon does not resolve the model as definitively stiff, medium, or flexible.
Product details
What to know
- The official regional listing identifies product code AYPN222-4.
- Published weight is 84 g and balance point is 302 mm, described as head heavy.
- Published construction is carbon fibre with a 7 mm shaft and Dynamic Optimum Frame terminology.
- The listing gives an S1 grip and a maximum tension of 30 lb.
What this means for you
The weight and balance figures describe a head-weighted setup on paper, but the unresolved flex field matters to timing and feedback. A buyer should use the printed model code and physical shaft label rather than a copied marketplace paragraph.
Specifications, availability, and included accessories can vary by market. Match the exact model code and seller photos before ordering.
What to check before buying
- The manufacturer page’s specification table says stiff while its prose says flexible and medium.
- Confirm whether the seller’s item is factory strung or unstrung; the legacy Dribon URL says unstrung but the official page may serve multiple sales configurations.
- Confirm grip and warranty region before treating the regional listing as identical stock.
Checklist before buying
- Match the complete model name, product code, colour and region to photographs of the item or original packaging.
- Confirm weight and grip code on the cone, then ask whether the stated weight includes strings, grip changes or protective tape.
- Confirm strung or unstrung condition, existing string and tension, frame damage, grommet wear and the authentic frame’s maximum tension.
- Treat balance and flex as model descriptors, not promises that the racket will suit your timing, strength or injury history.
