Voltric LD100: the entry rung of Yonex’s five-racquet Lin Dan line of 2016
The bottom of the 2016 LD line
The Voltric LD100 is the lowest-ranked of the five Lin Dan Voltrics that Yonex added in the summer of 2016. Yonex’s international site listed it as item VTLD100: medium flex, a graphite and tungsten frame, a graphite shaft, 4U (average 83 g) in grips 4 and 5, in Premium Gold. Yonex China gives it as made in China and placed it last in its suggested retail order for the line, below the LD200, LD3, LD9 and the Japan-made LD Force. It carries Lin Dan’s initials, but nothing on Yonex’s pages ties it to a racquet he played.
Series copy and no named frame
Yonex’s product page for the LD100 carries only the Voltric series text: the Tri-Voltage System, described as combining heavy smashes with speedy racquet handling. It names no technology of its own, where the LD Force page lists Nanometric DR and the LD9 page a Sound Filter. Yonex China’s one-line description calls it a standard racquet combining power and control, and lists its length as “10 mm extended”, as it does for all five LD models. Yonex names no base frame for the LD100 and publishes no balance point for it. Its first dated Yonex page is Yonex China’s, archived on July 29, 2016.
Named for Lin Dan
The LD in the name is Lin Dan’s: in 2015 Yonex described his first Exclusive collection as adorned with his custom “LD” symbol. The LD100’s own Yonex pages never print his name, and no Yonex report, staff page or release shows him using it. His signature frame of the period was the Voltric LD Force, which has its own page. Whatever a listing says, the LD100 is a racquet named for him, not one he is documented playing.
One gold design, and its twin
Yonex lists the LD100 in one design, Premium Gold, the color of all five 2016 LD models (color 560 on Yonex China). Its twin is the LD200: on Yonex’s pages the two share flex, frame and shaft materials, weight class, string range, color and factory, and differ only in item code and rank in the price list. Yonex documents no physical difference between them. Above sat the medium-flex LD3 and the stiff LD9, both Taiwan-made and also offered in 5U on Yonex’s international site, and the Japan-made LD Force. A UK retailer sold a red version coded VTLD100GE-R as a “Lin Dan Limited Edition” and called it flexible; no Yonex page lists a red LD100 or that code, and Yonex rates the gold VTLD100 medium.
Listed through 2016
Yonex’s international Voltric list showed no LD model on July 17, 2016 and all five on July 29, 2016, a week before the Rio Olympics opened. They were still listed that November and gone by March 2, 2017. Yonex China kept its LD100 page, unchanged, until its last archived capture on October 31, 2017. Yonex published no production end, and a product page left online is no proof of stock, so 2016, its last year on Yonex’s list, is the last year the LD100 is documented on sale new. No Yonex Japan page for it is archived; Japan’s racquet pages of the period show only the LD Force from this line. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Mix-ups under the LD name
No counterfeit of the LD100 is documented. The likelier risk is identity. All five 2016 LD Voltrics are gold, so a listing titled “Lin Dan Voltric” can be any of them, and the LD200 matches the LD100 on every specification Yonex lists; only the model name and item code separate the twins. Some sellers presented the LD100 as a limited or Olympic edition. Yonex’s pages for it mention neither the Olympics nor a limited quantity.
A Lin Dan name at the entry level
The LD100 is the lowest rung of Yonex’s 2016 Lin Dan line: a China-made, medium-flex 4U frame that shares the LD Force’s gold finish and initials but not its high-modulus graphite or Nanometric DR. Yonex’s record of it is short, two product pages and a series list, and it explains neither the model’s place in the line nor how it differs from the LD200. For a collector of the five-racquet line it completes the set; as a racquet it stands on its listed specifications.
Check the model name VOLTRIC LD100 and the item code VTLD100. Yonex lists it as 4U (average 83 g) in grips 4 and 5, medium flex, Premium Gold, with a graphite and tungsten frame and a graphite shaft, and Yonex China gives it as made in China. Yonex recommends 19–24 lb. A Taiwan-made gold LD frame is an LD3 or LD9 and a Japan-made one an LD Force; a 5U label rules out the LD100 and LD200 alike. A frame marked LD200 is its twin, not a variant. A red frame coded VTLD100GE-R is a retailer-listed version that Yonex does not document. Yonex’s own counterfeit checks apply: genuine racquets carry a laser-engraved production code on the cap above the handle, and the hologram sticker is hard to peel off.
A Lin Dan-named racquet with no match history, so its interest lies in completing the 2016 LD line. Confirm the LD100 name, the 4U label and the China factory mark in photographs, since the LD200 is identical on paper and the higher LD models share the gold finish. Treat “limited edition” and Olympic claims in listings with caution: Yonex made neither for this model. Judge a copy on condition, and ask for daylight photographs of the frame, the cone and the grip end.
