Description
The Astrox range has been developed for players seeking power and steep smashes.
Let yourself be seduced by the Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ VA racket! Bearing the image of Danish player Viktor Axelsen and his numerous successes, this limited edition predominantly white racket opts for green touches for an exceptional final look, blending class and sobriety.
The badminton rackets in this range are equipped with NAMD technology, which allows the nanomaterial to be fixed directly to the graphite fibre so that the shaft can store energy and release it at the moment of impact. This results in extremely powerful and explosive shots.
The innovative rotational generator system (Rotational Generator System) was introduced in the ASTROX series and this feature has been improved for the ASTROX 100. A more precise weight distribution on the handle edge, the top of the frame, and the T-joint increases rotational power. These improvements are necessary for a faster and more dynamic game!
The counterbalanced weight in the head will adapt to each shot and allow you to control your strokes. Moreover, you can attack with more acceleration, a higher contact angle, and additional power when hitting. This power is multiplied thanks to an extra 10mm length extension which increases your hitting power by 5% or more compared to a conventional racket.
The ASTROX 100 ZZ racket is equipped with Black Micro Core material on the upper part of the frame to increase rigidity by 4% and vibration absorption by 2%. The Black Micro Core material increases the weight of the racket head. Additionally, a new T-joint is integrated, which is 1.3% lighter than all other Yonex rackets. By distributing the weight this way, the racket becomes much more powerful!
Manufactured with the thinnest handle in the history of Yonex rackets, this traditionally hollow ASTROX 100 ZZ uses graphite in the core to increase air penetration by 11.8%.
Thanks to the new handle and the new shape of the racket (the Namd), you will have more power on your smash and more control on your slower shots. Namd significantly improves the adhesion of carbon fibres and resin. Thus, flexibility is increased on smashes where racket speed is very important. The material remains flexible even with increased swing speed; it bends as speed increases and returns to its original shape after the shot. The racket’s ability to bend more and quickly return to its initial shape will allow you to produce powerful shots with increased speed!
Compared to ordinary frames, the ISOMETRIC frame increases your hitting area. The ASTROX 100 frame has therefore been slightly modified into a squarer shape to increase the hitting area by 2.9%. This preserves the overall shape of the frame. The advantage of this isometric shape is to gain power!
The Astrox 100 racket benefits from a new wider CAP for the thumb to increase energy transfer, ensure more handle flex, and emphasise more power (Energy Boost Cap Plus).
The Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ Victor Axelsen racket has been designed for the players of tomorrow! Get ahead of the game!
Technologies:
- NAMD: a new dimension graphite; Namd significantly improves the adhesion of graphite fibres and resin by fixing the nanomaterial directly to the graphite fibre. In high-performance rackets, it is common to combine nanomaterials with resin that binds the graphite fibres, but with Namd, the nanomaterials adhere directly to the graphite fibres and the resin is considerably increased.
- Nanometric: tightly linked fibres improve racket strength and minimise twisting on impact.
- ISOMETRIC: Developed more than 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC design increases the sweet spot by 7%: Compared to a conventional round frame, a racket with this technology generates a larger sweet spot by optimising the intersection of the mains and crosses. ISOMETRIC offers better control without sacrificing power.
- Hyper Slim Shaft: The thinnest and strongest ever produced by Yonex, cutting-edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-strong aerodynamic shaft, created for stronger and more intense shots.
- Aero+Box Frame: Combines a solid hitting feel and a fast swing.
- Rotational Generator System: Applying counterweight theory, the weight is distributed to the handle end, the top of the frame, and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next plane can be made smoothly, with quick succession.
- Black Micro Core: A rigid, high-density vibration-damping material present in the upper half of the frame, allowing players to hit with solid feel and power.
- Energy Boost Cap Plus: A uniquely shaped cap that maximises handle performance. The front allows the handle to flex, while the arched lateral curve stabilises the racket face by preventing the handle from twisting.
- Solid Feel Core: The core integrated into the frame cuts various harmful vibrations on impact.

Technologies
- Aero+box Frame : Combination of 2 frame shapes for a solid feel and a fast swing.
- Black Micro Core : Rigid, high-density anti-vibration material integrated into the upper half of the frame allows players to hit with a solid feel and power.
- Energy Boost Cap Plus : Uniquely shaped cap that maximizes handle performance. The front allows the handle to flex, while the arc-shaped lateral curve stabilizes the racket face by preventing the handle from twisting.
- Isometric : Increases the sweet spot by 7%: Compared to a conventional round frame, a racket with this technology generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the mains and crosses. ISOMETRIC offers better control without sacrificing power.
- Named : Superior durability compared to conventional rackets. The polymer resin that binds the carbon fibers together ensures toughness and resistance to carbon damage.
- Nanometric : Carbon material based on unique NANOSCIENCE technology. Created from a material originally developed for next-generation space aviation by Toray Industries, Inc., this is the first time it has been used in the racket industry.
- Rotational Generator System : By applying the counterweight theory, the weight is distributed across the end of the handle, the top of the frame, and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next plane can be smooth, with rapid succession.
- Solid Feel Core : The core integrated into the frame dampens various harmful vibrations upon impact.
- Built-in T-joint : Increases the force between the frame and the handle, eliminating head twist for better control.
