The Yonex Astrox 99 Pro badminton racket (4U5) without a doubt makes an excellent choice for advanced players with offensive style of playing seeking true refinement and top specs to compliment their professional skills on the court. The racquet is fully made of graphite to ensure superior control and light feel, plus it incorporates Namd material that binds the graphite fibres to create a more efficient shaft flex and allows the energy to be stored on shuttle impact – to be released with explosive power on the next smash. Additionally, the racquet takes advantage of the Solid Feel Core technology to ensure enhanced comfort and less arm strain while performing heavy strikes by attenuating impact vibrations effortlessly. The racquet features a slightly longer, head heavy balanced frame in order to maximise the power potential, whereas the recognisable isometric head is more forgiving by offering a more effective hitting area. Also, the racquet is fitted with an extra slim shaft to ensure better repulsion and superior snap-back, whilst remaining incredibly stable due to the Energy Boost Cap Plus technology. The 4U (83g) variant of the Astrox 99 Pro arrives already strung with the BG65TI string offering nice durability and optimal touch.
