Description

The Astrox range are Yonex’s most attack orientated rackets and have super seeded the out-going Voltric range. Astrox rackets are known as ‘counterbalance’ frames. This means they will offer a more precise weight distribution throughout the grip end, frame top and joint, thus increasing the rotational power the racket provides.

Out of all the Astrox Taiwanese made frames, the Astrox 5FX is well suited for beginners to intermediate players. At 73g, this offers you incredible manoeuvrability The hi-flex shaft is well suited for beginners who need more help from the racket as it will help you generate more power. As is with all Yonex rackets, this features their famous Isometric head shape which will increase the sweet spot on the racket. Therefore, even if you are hitting slightly off centre, you will find it a lot more forgiving compared to a conventional head shape.

The Astrox is an attack-orientated model which can take the lead in a high-speed game with a design that can deliver powerful, steep smashes, allowing you to dominate the court.

Technology:

Rotational Generator System: By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly with rapid succession.

New Built-in-T-Joint – The lightweight T-Joint increases stability of the shuttle on the strings, maximising power and control

Isometric: Increases the size of your sweet spot

New Grommet Pattern: The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.

AEROBOX FRAME: Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

New Control Support Cap: Yonex has designed a new octahedron shaped control support cap that reduces air resistance whilst encouraging nimble handling.

Choose your string

String choice is incredibly important as the string is what makes contact with the shuttle. There’s a number of factors to take into account, such as construction, gauge, tension. A thinner gauge string will pull up tighter, increasing the potential for more power and control, but durability will be sacrificed. Below we’ve put together a short description for the range of strings that we offer. If you have any questions about string choice please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

	Yonex Aerobite 0.67mm x 0.61mm:	A hybrid combination with alternating gauges and coatings. Your main string is textured with a rough feel to it allowing the string to grip the shuttle more for those precise cut smashes or hairpin net shots. Whilst your cross string is ‘Aerosonic’ providing you with ultimate power and a high hitting sound. The ultimate combination!
	Yonex Aersonic 0.61mm:	The world’s thinnest string provides you with maximum power and an extremely high hitting sound. Featuring a new “compact filled” construction which has allowed the gaps between the core and outer threads to be filled with resin to provide extra durability for such a thin gauge!
	Yonex BG65Ti 0.70mm:	Our best selling string, suitable for a variety of players from beginners to advanced competitors. A titanium coating on the string increases durability and also enhances the power you can generate from the string. Still used by many of the world’s top players.
	Yonex BG66 Ultimax 0.65mm:	A perfect balance of speed, control and durability. One of our most popular strings that is being used at the moment. High intensity multifilament and a thin gauge offers more power and control, but you will sacrifice durability. It also offers a very crisp hitting sound.
	Yonex BG80 0.68mm:	Suited for the harder hitters, this string has a high Modulus Vectran Fibre coiled around the multi-filament construction to give better tension maintenance and reduce string movement.
	Yonex BG80 Power 0.68mm:	Suited for the harder hitters, this string has a high Modulus Vectran Fibre coiled around the multi-filament construction to give better tension maintenance and reduce string movement. Offers a more solid, hard feel compared to BG80.
	Yonex Exbolt 0.63mm	Forged fibre generates a high hitting sound on powerful smashes and clears. A combination of quick repulsion and durability.
