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.
The brand new Astrox Nextage is the key to unfiltered power with an addictive hitting feel. The racket is designed for intermediate players looking for more power with a comfortable hitting feel, while advancing their game to the next level.
This new addition to the Astrox series is designed with a newly innovated frame that absorbs impact, providing a revolutionary hitting feel with controlled shots. In addition to the Rotational Generator System that enables quick recovery for a continuous stream of powerful attacks, the bottom of the newly innovated frame is lined with Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM). This absorbs impact, making the shot feel softer and resulting in less strain.
Wide diameter grommets have also been imbedded on the sides to hold the shuttlecock at impact and allow the player more control over their attacks. Overall, the shape and flexibility of the frame are precisely developed to enhance the speed and power performance of the racquet. The slim Aero Frame shape on top reduces air resistance, adding speed to each shot, and the flexibility of the frame sides result in energy transfer from the user into the shot, providing more power with ease. The overall frame construction creates the addictive feel of this racket, enticing players to smash harder more frequently.
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.
Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM): A stretchy material rolled with graphite to greatly reduce unwanted vibrations.
Wide Diameter Grommets: Control the shuttle-release timing with larger grommets designed for more string movement, extending the shuttle contact time.
Aerobox Frame: Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
E.B Cap Plus: The utilisation of the E.B. CAP PLUS (Energy Boost Cap Plus) is to increase snapback.
