The Li-Ning BLADEX 880 SHIDA is Chiharu Shida's personal signature racket, and Li-Ning didn't hold back on the details. Pearl white base, soft pink and light blue gradients along the frame, subtle plum blossom patterns pressed into the finish, and Shida's signature engraved on the shaft — it's one of the better-looking signature rackets to come out of the BLADEX line. The upgrade from the BLADEX 800 Speed isn't just cosmetic either: the shaft steps up to T1100 carbon fibre, which gives a crisper snap-back on drives with noticeably less vibration through the hand during extended net exchanges. Head-light balance, wider sweet spot than the 800 Speed, and a frame cut for low wind resistance — exactly what Shida's game demands. If you play women's doubles or mixed doubles at the front court, this is one of the most talked-about speed rackets in its price range right now, with YONEX Nanoflare 800 Pro players frequently making the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel    Li-Ning BLADEX 880 SHIDA (锋影880 志田千阳签名款)\u003cbr\u003eStyle Code    AWPW051\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date    April 2026\u003cbr\u003eSignature Player    Chiharu Shida (志田千阳) — Japan National Badminton Team\u003cbr\u003eFrame Material    M46X + ULTRA high-elastic carbon fibre · Sonic Boom aerodynamic frame\u003cbr\u003eShaft Material    T1100 high-modulus carbon fibre + ULTRA high-elastic carbon fibre + HDF shock absorption layer\u003cbr\u003eLength    675mm\u003cbr\u003eWeight \/ Grip    4U (82.5–83.5g) \/ G5 or G6\u003cbr\u003eBalance Point    ~292–296mm (head-light)\u003cbr\u003eShaft Flex    Medium-stiff (flex grade 8)\u003cbr\u003eMax String Tension    4U: ≤32 LBS\u003cbr\u003eColorway    Pearl White — soft pink \u0026amp; light blue gradient · plum blossom motif · Shida signature engraving on shaft\u003cbr\u003eBest For    Women's doubles \/ mixed doubles front court; fast drives, net interceptions, continuous pressure play; advanced to professional level\u003cbr\u003e✓ 100% Authentic \u0026amp; Brand New    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Li-Ning","offers":[{"title":"4UG6","offer_id":53836805505307,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4UG5","offer_id":53836805538075,"sku":null,"price":400.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/9663\/5675\/files\/e78bot_img_8rr42_5s.jpg?v=1787957782","url":"https:\/\/www.vasports.ca\/products\/li-ning-bladex-880-unstrung-badminton-racket","provider":"VA SPORTS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
