The last weapon: Lin Dan's Voltric LD Force Matte Black
How the greatest retired
Lin Dan played his final professional match in November 2019. His weapon of choice for his last competitive years was the Voltric LD Force — a custom model Yonex created specifically for him after his 2017 Legend Vision tribute. The Matte Black is the defining colorway: the rarest, the most visually striking, and the one that carries the full weight of his final chapter.
The LD Force: a model built for one player
The 'LD Force' name does not exist anywhere in Yonex's standard catalog. It was created entirely for Lin Dan's final sponsored years. The model shares the Voltric DNA — head-heavy, extra stiff — but with refinements that reflect a 34-year-old player managing his body rather than maximizing raw output. It is the only Yonex model name that exists because of a single player's late-career requirements.
Matte Black vs. Premium Gold
Two colorways: Matte Black ($1,888) and Premium Gold ($668). The price gap is significant and driven by two factors. First, the Matte Black had more limited distribution — weighted toward select Asian markets. Second, matte finishes on older racquets age differently from lacquered surfaces; perfect-condition Matte Black units are genuinely rarer as the finish is more susceptible to wear visible from normal use. The 2.8× price premium is justified by condition scarcity alone.
The completionist's final piece
For collectors building a Lin Dan rack, the LD Force Matte Black is the final chapter. The timeline: AT-700 (2005) → AT-700LTD (2008 Olympic) → NS-9900 (2008-2012) → VTZF2 (2014-2016) → VTZF2LD variants (2015-2017) → VTZF2LLD Legend Vision (2017) → VTLDF-MB (2017-2019). Seven models. Fifteen years. One career.
True matte finish — flat to touch, no shine or reflection under direct light. Distinct from the Premium Gold's lacquered surface. 'LD Force' branding on shaft — not 'LD' alone. Head-heavy balance (extra-heavy even for Voltric series). Extra Stiff shaft. Made in Japan. Weight 84g ±2g (4U).
Appreciation tied to Lin Dan's posthumous legacy — which will only grow. The Matte Black is the last collectible opportunity before the $2,888+ Legend Vision tier. Buy under $1,800 while available.
