Yonex Astrox 100 ZX Badminton Racket (3U/G4)

The ZX model in the new "100" line up from Yonex is an improvement on the already brilliant lineup of Astrox rackets. In our playtests, it suited players of all abilities, with out and out doubles players slightly preferring the ZX over the ZZ model.

This racket is ideal for badminton players who are looking to improve their control whilst being able to reach great power in their shots. The ultimate control racket with plenty of power ? We think so.

Technology

• Rotational Generator System - 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 rapid succession
• namd - utilising high quality namd graphite throughout the frame produces more flex with a faster snapback, unleashing dramatic steep power
• Energy Boost Cap/Plus - uniquely shaped cap which maximises shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilises the racket face by preventing the shaft from twisting
• Isometric - increases the size of your sweet spot
• New Grommet Pattern - single pass grommet holes for reduced string stress, maximising performance
• Solid Feel Core - reduces vibrations travelling down the shaft for improved comfort
• AEROBOX Frame - a combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel
• Extra Slim Shafts - designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power
• Bult In T-Joint - increases strength between the frame and the shaft eliminating head twist for more control
