Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Yonex Astrox NEXTAGE is a head-heavy badminton racket designed to deliver power, speed and control. In Light Grey at 4U (80–84.9g) with a G5 grip, it brings Yonex’s Astrox technology to players looking to raise their performance on court.
Key Features
- Nanomesh NEO – a stronger, more flexible frame with increased shaft flex for maximum power.
- AERO+BOX Frame – combines faster swing speed with a solid feel.
- ISOMETRIC technology – enlarges the sweet spot by 7% for a bigger hitting area, more control and accuracy.
- Rotational Generator System – counterbalanced weight in the grip end, frame top and joint for control and smooth transitions between shots.
- Super Slim Shaft – reduces air resistance so the racket slices through the air for fast power.
- Energy Boost Cap Plus – a uniquely shaped cap lets the front of the shaft flex while stabilising the racket face to prevent twisting.
- VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) – a stretchy mesh rolled into the graphite to greatly reduce unwanted vibration for a more comfortable feel.
- Built-in T-Joint – strengthens the frame-to-shaft connection, eliminating head twist for more control.
Performance Overview
Nanomesh NEO and the Energy Boost Cap Plus work together to generate power, while the AERO+BOX frame and Super Slim Shaft cut air resistance for faster swings and quick reactions. The Rotational Generator System and Built-in T-Joint keep shots stable and transitions smooth, and VDM keeps the feel comfortable. Whether you play aggressively or prefer a more controlled style, it adapts to your game.
Who Is It For?
Players who want a combination of power, speed and control in one racket, from attacking players to those who prefer a more measured style.
