Designed for players who dominate with powerful smashes after controlling the rally, the ASTROX 99 has been redesigned to deliver explosive power with even more confidence. The new series includes the ASTROX 99 PRO, ASTROX 99 TOUR, ASTROX 99 GAME and ASTROX 99 PLAY, offering a tailored experience for both top players and aspiring athletes. The new ASTROX 99 features an improved Rotational Generator System that distributes weight between the end of the grip, frame head and tee to allow for smooth transitions and sustained offensive rallies. The Power Assist Bumper on the frame head reduces drag while maximizing energy transfer on every shot. In the PRO and TOUR models, Yonex combines 2G-Namd™ Flex Force with a lightweight end cap for quick flexibility, sharp recoil and a top-heavy balance that makes smashes even more powerful. Together, these innovations unleash explosive punch in every rally. By combining these technologies with the Shot Information Connector, which stabilizes the face at impact and provides clearer feedback, the ASTROX 99 gives players the confidence to use powerful smashes with full conviction. The ASTROX 99 PRO is the choice of athletes who demand the highest levels of power and precision. He will be used at the 2025 BWF World Championships by top players – including 2019 World Champion Pusarla V. Sindhu (IND) – who will be looking to dominate with explosive smashes. French up-and-coming star Alex Lanier (FRA) will also be making the switch to the ASTROX 99 PRO, leveraging its unrivalled ability to channel controlled aggressiveness and exude confidence with every shot.
