The latest YONEX ASTROX 99 PRO BADMINTON RACKET introduces an enhanced Rotational Generator System, distributing weight across the grip end, frame top, and joint for seamless transitions and sustained attacking rallies. The Power Assist Bumper at the frame top reduces air resistance while maximising energy transfer into every shot.In the PRO model, Yonex combines 2G-Namd™ Flex Force with a Lightweight End Cap for rapid flex, sharp repulsion, and a head-heavy balance that powers smashes, together, these innovations unleash explosive power in every rally.
By combining these technologies with the Shot Information Connector, which keeps the racquet face stable at impact and delivers clearer feedback, the ASTROX 99 gives players the confidence to unleash powerful smashes.
The ASTROX 99’s striking design draws inspiration from meteors colliding with planets, symbolizing overwhelming force. A black and green base accented with marble-like textures evokes weight and strength, while streaks of orange tracing from frame to grip symbolise the transmission of shot information from the frame to the grip.
Chosen by athletes who demand the highest level of power and precision, the ASTROX 99 PRO will be the racquet of choice for top athletes from 2025 BWF World Championships, including 2019 World Champion Pusarla V. Sindhu (IND), as they aim to dominate with explosive smashes.
TECHNOLOGY
-
Rotational Generator System (Enhanced) - Continuous powerful attacks.
Weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for continued powerful attacks. The POWER-ASSIST BUMPER adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer to the shuttle while reducing air resistance. The LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP enables an extremely head-heavy weight distribution. These allow the Enhanced Rotational Generator System to guide smooth transitions from shot to shot. -
Lightweight End Cap - Increased power.
A newly designed end cap which is made lighter by removing the weight inside. As a result, balance is shifted towards the racquet head, making this model the most head-heavy racquet within the current line-up. -
2G-Namd Flex Force - Uncompromised shot power and increased shot information. Graphite characterised by its quick flex and snapback. The Carbon Nanotube binding the graphite together reduces energy loss and enhances its resilience. Used in the whole racquet, the rapid flex and snapback allows more shuttle hold to feel the shuttle and transmit maximum power.
-
Concentrated Sweet Spot for Power - Increased shot power.
Concentrating power to the sweet spot by revising the frame shape, thus meeting the demand of heavy smashers with an increased shot power. -
Shot Information Connector - Increased shot information.
Weight is concentrated in the racquet head by taking out weight from the shaft and end cap to increase flex. The ANTI-TORSION SHAFT using high rigidity graphite is designed to lower the torque, keeping the racquet face straight. This provides confidence with increased shot information by extending contact time between the shuttle and the string to transfer information without loss.
