Steep Attack

Overwhelm the opposition with the fast and powerful ASTROX. For players who demand a steep angled and devastating smash, taking the point to
their opponent.

Ensures a stronger more flexible frame, while increased shaft flex creates maximum power.

ISOMETRIC

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

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.

SLIM SHAFT

POWER ASSIST BUMPER

Attached to enforce heavier, increased power by configuring the weight directed into the shuttlecock with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper.
