The Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ (Viktor Axelsen Edition) is a top-tier, high-performance badminton racket designed specifically for advanced players who want maximum power and explosive smashes.
Here is a simple breakdown of what makes this racket special and how it helps your game:
Extra Stiff Shaft: The racket does not bend easily. This requires a lot of player strength and good technique, but it gives you incredibly precise control over where you hit the shuttlecock.
Head-Heavy Balance: More weight is placed at the top of the racket frame. This extra weight acts like a hammer, helping you generate massive power when you swing for a smash.
Rotational Generator System: Even though the racket is head-heavy, the weight is carefully distributed across the top, the joint, and the bottom of the handle. This clever balance stops the racket from feeling too sluggish, allowing you to quickly recover and get ready for your next shot.
Isometric Head Shape: The frame has a slightly squared head shape rather than a perfect oval. This expands the "sweet spot" (the best hitting area on the strings), meaning your shots will still be accurate and powerful even if you don't hit the exact center.
Advanced Materials (Namd & Nanometric Carbon): The racket uses a special, cutting-edge graphite material throughout its entire body. It is designed to flex quickly and snap back into place instantly when you hit the shuttlecock, transferring maximum energy into your shots. It also allows the racket shaft to be incredibly thin and aerodynamic without losing any strength.
This racket is built for advanced singles or attacking doubles players who have strong wrists and fast swing speeds. It is designed to deliver continuous, heavy power from the back of the court. Because it is extra stiff and head-heavy, it is not recommended for beginners or casual players, as it can be difficult to control and may tire your arm out quickly.
Weight: Around 83 grams (4U classification), which is a standard, versatile weight that balances power and speed.
String Tension: It can safely hold string tensions between 20 to 28 lbs.
Origin: Made in Japan, ensuring the highest manufacturing quality.
Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
Used for the first time in Yonex badminton racquets, BLACK MICRO CORE is a stiff, high-density vibration-dampening material equipped into the upper part of the VOLTRIC FB frame letting players hit with solid feeling and power.
The ISOMETRIC™ equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-centre hits.
Some Yonex rackets include this world’s-first, new dimension graphite material, Namd, which greatly improves the adhesion of the graphite fibers and resin by attaching nanomaterial directly to the graphite fiber.<br>In high performance racquets, it is common to combine nanomaterials with resin that connects graphite fibers, but in Namd, nanomaterials are directly adhered to the graphite fibers and resin is greatly increased. This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttle.
NANOMETRIC* improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibres enabling us to take racquet shaft construction to another level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft to make it 60%* thinner than a conventional racquet whilst retaining stiffness, YONEX has created a revolutionary lightweight racquet with lightening head speed and control.<br><br>*NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOYTM Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.
‘NEW’ Built-in T-Joint is manufactured from a special lightweight plastic combined with epoxy resin and foaming agent that enhances quality and performance by increasing the stability of the shuttle on the string bed and through the air.
The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.
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 a rapid succession.
The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.
