Yonex Astrox 99 Pro (2025) – Power Uncompromised | Made in Japan
The Yonex Astrox 99 Pro (2025) represents the very peak of power racket engineering — designed for players who demand maximum smash strength without sacrificing control or shot precision. As the flagship of the Astrox family, the 3rd-generation AX99 Pro is built around the concept of “Power Uncompromised”, delivering devastating offensive play through advanced graphite innovations and an ultra head-heavy balance.
Favoured by elite professionals such as Shi Yu Qi, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, and the Popov brothers, the Astrox 99 Pro has become synonymous with relentless attacking badminton. This latest update pushes the boundaries of head-heavy design even further, harnessing 2G-Namd Flex Force, Enhanced Rotational Generator System, and a Concentrated Sweet Spot Frame to unleash the heaviest smashes in the game — while retaining finesse for net play and shot placement.
🚀 Key Technologies & Innovations
🔥 2G-Namd Flex Force
-
Advanced graphite infused with uniformly dispersed carbon nanotubes.
-
Creates a quicker flex and snapback, allowing the shuttle to hold longer on the strings before explosive repulsion.
-
Ensures uncompromised power transfer with every hit.
(Exclusive to Pro & Tour models, Made in Japan).
🎯 Enhanced Rotational Generator System
-
Yonex’s signature weight distribution system taken to the next level.
-
Power-Assist Bumper adds weight at the top of the frame for more shuttle penetration.
-
Lightweight End Cap shifts balance even further to the head, making the AX99 Pro the most head-heavy racket in the Yonex line-up.
-
Results in seamless transitions between shots while maintaining continuous attack pressure.
⚡ Flexible Repulsive Composite (CFR)
-
A hybrid material combining carbon graphite with rubber-like elasticity.
-
Positioned at the frame top to extend shuttle hold while increasing repulsion.
-
Enables both brutal smashes and sharp counter shots in the same frame.
🛡️ Anti-Torsion Shaft + Shot Information Connector
-
High-rigidity graphite shaft reduces unwanted torque, keeping the racket face square on impact.
-
Redistributes weight from shaft & cap into the head for extra flex and control.
-
Provides players with more “shot information” — a better feel of shuttle contact, essential for precision play under pressure.
🎯 Concentrated Sweet Spot Frame
-
Refined frame geometry focuses energy into the sweet spot.
-
Rewards clean technique with an extra boost of power, especially useful for singles players and backcourt dominators.
