DESCRIPTION
ASTROX – INITIATE A RELENTLESS ATTACK
The ASTROX series is developed to meet the demands of aggressive attacking play, taking the point to your opponent with relentless steep attacks. The Rotational Generator System perfectly distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and the T-joint for maximum control, enabling smooth transition between shots, in a rapid succession. Revolutionary graphite materials such as NamdTM are utilized to create faster snapback for imposing power.
1. AERO+BOX Frame
Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
2. ISOMETRIC
Enlarged Sweet Spot
ISOMETRICTM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRICTM design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRICTM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.
ISOMETRICTM delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRICTM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD.

3. STABILITY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
The added weight distribution on the sides of the frame enhances stability during the swing, resulting in maximized smash power. And allowing for the effective breakdown of defenses during back-court attacks.
4. ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM
Astrox 88 Series Technologies
By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is carefully distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and joint, enabling smooth transition between powerful shots for rapid, successive attacks. The innovative graphite “2G-NamdTM Flex Force” used in the shaft, characterized by its quick flex and snapback, maximizes shot power and advances the performance of the Rotational Generator System.
5. ULTRA PE FIBER
The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – ultra poly ethylene fibre – which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. these characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.
6. ULTRA SLIM SHAFT
Thinnest Ever with More Power
Inserting NANOPREME into the racquet shaft ensures greater stability compared to conventional racquets. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional racquets.
7. ENERGY BOOST CAP PLUS
Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance.The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.
8. POWER ASSIST BUMPER
Attached to enforce heavier, increased power by configuring the weight directed into the shuttlecock with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper.
