Yonex Astrox 01

Yes, this racket is an excellent choice for beginners and intermediate players. Its hi-flex shaft is forgiving and helps generate power even if your swing technique is still developing.

Yes, the Astrox 01 comes pre-strung from the factory, so you can take it directly to the court without needing to visit a stringer first.

The frame combines two shapes to give you the best of both worlds: the aerodynamic side helps you swing faster, while the box-shaped side provides a solid, stable feel when you make contact with the shuttle.

The square-shaped Isometric head design expands the sweet spot compared to a traditional oval frame. This makes it easier to hit clean, powerful shots even if you don't strike the shuttle perfectly in the center of the strings.

Yes, the extra length provides more leverage, which helps you generate steeper smash angles and increased acceleration on your overhead shots.

The recommended tension range is 20-28 lbs. If you are a beginner, we suggest starting on the lower end of that range to get more power and comfort, then moving higher as your skills progress.
