The ASTROX 99 Play is engineered for players seeking commanding power and steep attacking shots without sacrificing control. Built on the proven ASTROX concept from Yonex, this racquet features a head heavy balance that channels maximum energy into every swing. The result is explosive smashes and deep, penetrating clears, making it an ideal choice for aggressive players who like to dominate rallies from the rear court. Designed with accessibility in mind, the ASTROX 99 Play incorporates advanced graphite construction to deliver a solid yet forgiving feel. The frame structure enhances shuttle hold time, allowing players to generate sharper angles and improved placement on offensive shots. At the same time, the racquet remains maneuverable enough for quick defensive reactions, helping intermediate players transition smoothly between attack and defense.

Comfort and consistency are key strengths of the ASTROX 99 Play. Its stable frame reduces vibration on impact, providing a cleaner feel and greater confidence during extended play. Whether you are developing a powerful game or looking to elevate your attacking performance, this racquet offers a balanced combination of power, control, and playability suited for improving and club-level competitors.

The Head Heaviest Racquet in the Astrox Play Lineup

Built for Players Who Want to Dominate the Smash

Tailored for intermediate-level players, this racquet uses a new grommet pattern, Rotational Generator System, Slim Shaft, and Control Support Cap to collectively improve manoeuvrability, power generation, and overall control during gameplay.
