Technology:
Namd
Revolutionary Graphite
A world-first, new dimension graphite material, Namdā¢, produces more flex with a faster snapback, unleashing dramatic power. It creates a catapult-like effect on every swing, thus delivering attacking and accelerated shots without extra physical effort. It makes the Yonex Astrox 100VA ZZ more explosive, more responsive, and effortlessly powerful during rapid rallies.
AERO+BOX Frame
A combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel.
The hybrid AERO+BOX frame combines aerodynamic speed with structural stability, offering several benefits in a solid design. The aerodynamic section cuts through the air with minimal resistance, boosting swing speed, while the box-shaped segments add rigidity for clean, satisfying impact.
DUAL OPTIMUM SYSTEM
Two contrasting racquet profiles in one unique Dual Dynamic Design allow better overall balance, faster transitions, and greater consistency during multi-angle shot-making.
ISOMETRIC
Enlarged Sweet Spot
IISOMETRIC⢠technology continues to help the world's greatest players achieve global success. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC⢠racquet generates a larger sweet spot to maintain accuracy even when they don't hit the shuttle dead-center. This translates to fewer mishits, more forgiveness during fast rallies, and enhanced stability under pressure.
Rotational Generator System
Counterbalanced Weight Distribution
By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top, and the joint for maximum control. It improves timing and rhythm, allowing you to maintain pressure during rallies while reducing strain on the wrist and arm.
Solid Feel Core
Cuts Vibration
This built-in vibration-dampening structure enhances overall feel, making each shot more comfortable and reducing fatigue during long matches. It's especially beneficial for players who hit with high power or face heavy shuttles, as it minimizes sting and delivers a cleaner, more stable sensation through the handle.
Hyper Slim Shaft
Designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power, the shaft has a reduced diameter that improves aerodynamics significantly, resulting in faster swing acceleration.
Despite being ultrathin, the shaft retains exceptional strength and rigidity, ensuring superior control even during powerful shots. This combination makes it easier to generate whipping speed for deadly smashes and quick rebounds.
Energy Boost CAP PLUS
Uniquely shaped cap that maximizes shaft performance! The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides' arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting. It boosts both power and precision in a single feature.
New Built-in T-Joint
The lightweight T-Joint increases the stability of the shuttle on the strings, maximizing power and control. It also reduces torque and distortion during hard hits, leading to more accurate shuttle direction and improved frame durability.
Power Assist Bumper
Attached to enforce heavier, increased power by configuring the weight directed into the shuttlecock with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper. The technology does not compromise balance, thus creating maximum shuttle penetration and a more commanding attacking presence.
Black Micro Core
A stiff, high-density vibration-dampening material featured in the upper half of the frame, allowing players to hit with a solid feel and power.
