Key Features & Technologies

The Astrox 99 Play is packed with Yonex's signature innovation to ensure you dominate the backcourt:

• Rotational Generator System: Utilizing the counterbalanced weight distribution theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top, and the joint. This allows for maximum control and enables a quicker transition between powerful smashes and defensive clears.

• ISOMETRIC™ Head Shape: Developed over 30 years ago, the Isometric design increases the sweet spot by 7%. By optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings, it provides greater control without sacrificing power.
• Slim Shaft: Designed to slice through the air, the slim shaft generates greater power and speed, helping you react faster to your opponent's shots.
• Power-Aimed Frame Geometry: The head-heavy balance combined with a medium-flex shaft ensures that even players with developing swing speeds can generate explosive shuttlecock acceleration.
