Li-Ning Windstorm79

The Windstorm79 is the heaviest of the standard-numbered Windstorm frames, sitting closer to the attacking end of what is otherwise a lightweight, control-focused range.

At 79g unstrung with a head-heavy balance around 298mm, it carries more weight into the hitting zone than the Windstorm72 or Windstorm75, while keeping the same flexible UHB shaft that lets the frame load and snap through the shot. It's rated up to 30 lbs, and the extra tension headroom compared to the lighter Windstorm models means it holds up better if you like stringing firm for a crisper, more controlled feel.

It suits intermediate to advanced players who still want a light frame but are ready for more pace off the string than the 72 or 75 offer. It's not a racket for a true beginner - the added head weight and higher tension ceiling reward a technique that's already reasonably developed.
