Description
The Yonex Astrox 99 badminton racket is known for delivering 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 sheer power, gaining the ability to control the pace of the game.
The ASTROX 99 Tour is a powerful, stiff, head-heavy racket, featuring the heaviest swing in the ASTROX series.
The iconic ISOMETRIC frame has been modified by reinforcing the frame corners to adjust the shape and widen the sweet spot.
It was developed to suit attacking players (intermediate players and competitors) while maintaining exceptional shuttle feel.
The racket benefits from a new construction and weight distribution: the Rotational Generator System. The counterbalanced head-heavy weight adapts to each shot, helping you control your hits and attack your opponent with increased acceleration, a sharper angle, and more power on the smash.
The Nanomesh NEO integrated into the frame makes it stronger and more flexible, while increased shaft flex thanks to Namd creates maximum power.
Thanks to the new shaft and new racket construction (the Namd), you get more power in your smashes and more control in your slower shots. In detail, Namd significantly improves the bonding of graphite fibres and resin. This results in greater flexibility during smashes and higher racket speed. This provides more explosiveness and acceleration during impact. In drive play, conversely, the racket speed is slower: the new handle provides more control and thus accelerates the racket head.
The Solid Feel Core absorbs vibrations on impact to distribute them throughout the racket for better feel.
The ASTROX 99 Tour racket is equipped with multiple technologies to enhance its performance, making 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.
