MADE IN JAPAN

Your racket purchase includes a FREE RESTRING @ YOUR DESIRED TENSION! Strung on THE ONLY YONEX
PROTECH 8
electronic stringing machine in NZ to the highest standard by an OFFICIAL YONEX STRINGER with
experience since 1993. We specialise in stringing @ high tensions! If you are unsure, our stringer is actually a Yonex Official stringer
and a high performance coach, we are more than happy to give some advice if you would like. Just let us know what level you play
at.

NAMD

ASTROX 77 uses a 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.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

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 lightning head speed and control. *NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOY^TMTechnology
of Toray Industries, Inc. *approximate measurement when compared to a conventional racquet shaft, tested by YONEX

AERO+BOX FRAME

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

ISOMETRIC

Enlarged Sweet Spot ISOMETRIC^TM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over
30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC^TM design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped
ISOMETRIC^TM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC^TM delivers
greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC^TM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD. *Tested by Yonex

NEW GROMMET PATTERN

High-Performance – The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more
high-performance stringing pattern.

ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM

Counterbalanced Weight Distribution
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.

Solid Feel Core

Cuts Vibration The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel
core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.

SUPER SLIM SHAFT

Reduced Air ResistanceThe slimmest racquet ever produced by YONEX vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum feel.

CONTROL SUPPORT CAP

Sharp Maneuverability
The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary
racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.

BUILT-IN T-JOINT

The lightweight T-Joint increases stability of the shuttle on the strings, maximizing power and control.
