Description
The Yonex Astrox 99 badminton racket is known for generating dominant hitting power, aided by new technologies and a new design ― in collaboration with the world No.1 men’s singles player, Kento Momota. The new ASTROX 99 goes beyond unequivocal raw power, gaining the ability to control the pace of the game.
The ASTROX 99 Play is a powerful, head-heavy racket, featuring the heaviest swing in the ASTROX series, while maintaining medium stiffness.
The redesigned frame allows all the power to be concentrated on the sweet spot, ideal for strong hitters.
It was developed to suit attacking players (intermediate and competitive players) while retaining an exceptional shuttle feel.
The racket benefits from a new construction and weight distribution: the Rotational Generator System. The counterbalanced head weight adapts to each shot, helping you control your strokes and attack your opponent with increased acceleration, a sharper angle, and more power on the smash.
The 2G Namd Flex Force integrated into the frame makes it stronger and more flexible, while increased shaft flex thanks to Namd creates maximum power and less energy loss.
Thanks to the new shaft and the racket’s new construction (the 2G Namd), you have more power in your smashes and more control in your slower shots. In detail, Namd significantly improves the adhesion of graphite fibres and resin. This results in greater flexibility during smashes and increased racket speed. This gives more explosiveness and acceleration during the stroke. Conversely, in drive play, the racket speed is slower: the new handle provides more control and thus accelerates the racket head.
The ASTROX 99 Play racket is equipped with multiple technologies to enhance its performance and make this model an explosively powerful racket, ideal for offensive players.

Technologies
- 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.
- 2g Namd Flex Force : Graphite is characterized by its rapid flexibility and instantaneous return, which provides maximum power.
- Lightweight End Cap : Newly designed cap that brings more lightness towards the handle for a heavier weight in the head, thus generating more power.
- Concentrated Sweet Spot For Power : Improved frame shape to concentrate all the power in the ideal hitting zone of the racket head.
- Shot Information Connector : The weight is concentrated in the frame by reducing that of the stem, which allows for the integration of a high-rigidity graphite designed to reduce torsion and provide more stability.
