BUILT FOR POWER AND SHOT CONTROL
High Modulus Graphite Frame Construction
The Astrox 100 Game VA Edition badminton racket uses a High Modulus Graphite frame reinforced with Nanomesh Neo and Tungsten. This combination delivers a stronger, more flexible frame with stable feel at impact. The increased shaft flex helps generate strong power output on smashes and clears, while the Tungsten reinforcement adds frame stability during heavy contact.
ISOMETRIC Head with Enlarged Sweet Spot
The ISOMETRIC head shape expands the effective hitting area compared to traditional oval frames. This enlarged sweet spot helps off-centre hits produce cleaner, more controlled shots, giving intermediate players a wider margin for error during fast exchanges. ISOMETRIC continues to support top professional players globally across competitive tournaments.
10MM LONGER SHAFT FOR INCREASED REACH
Extended Shaft for Better Court Coverage
The 10mm longer shaft design adds reach and increases swing arc, giving players additional leverage for stronger smashes, sharper clears, and extended court coverage. This added length is especially helpful for back-court attacking play and clearing the shuttle deep into the opponent’s court.
Energy Boost Cap for Shaft Performance
The uniquely shaped Energy Boost Cap maximises shaft performance through a dual-action design. The front of the cap allows the shaft to flex naturally during the swing, while the arch-shaped curve on the sides stabilises the racket face by preventing shaft twist. This combination supports consistent shot direction even on off-centre contact.
YONEX ASTROX 100 GAME VA EDITION KEY FEATURES
Counterbalanced Weight Distribution
The counterbalanced weight distribution shifts mass strategically across the racket to deliver a combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel at impact. This balanced placement supports smooth shot-to-shot transition during fast rallies, helping players keep pace during continuous attacks without losing swing rhythm.
Nanomesh Neo Material Technology
Nanomesh Neo is integrated into the frame to improve material flexibility and shuttle hold at impact. This advanced material allows the strings to grip the shuttle for a fraction longer, supporting better directional control and more accurate placement on drives, drops, and clears.
4U Weight with String Tension up to 28 LBS
Weighing 80–84.9 grams (4U classification), this 4U badminton racket balances mass and maneuverability. The recommended string tension range is 20–28 lbs for 4U weight class, giving players flexibility — lower tension for power-focused play, higher tension for control-focused play and tighter shot accuracy.
WHO SHOULD BUY THIS RACKET
The Yonex Astrox 100 Game VA Edition is built for intermediate players who play regularly in club matches, coaching sessions, and recreational tournaments.
