Product description
Yonex will launch the new Astro 99 series in the Astro series, which is trusted by the world's top players, to bring stronger smash power and ball holding. Astro 99 PRO is aimed at high-level players and professional players, with white tiger pattern (825) and sun red (826).
In terms of the development of badminton in recent years, in addition to the continuous attacking ability required to win fast-paced confrontations, it is also necessary to have the fast swinging performance to win multiple shots calmly. This time, the innovative technology "rotational force generation system" equipped in the entire Astro series has been upgraded. The PRO version uses high-strength volume compression resin on the entire frame to achieve ultra-dense weight distribution, making the swing smoother and improving continuous attack.
The world's No. 1 men's singles player Kento Momota (NTT East) will use Astro 99 PRO (color: white tiger pattern).
※The large-diameter wire hole design refers to increasing the diameter of the wire hole in the sweet spot of the horizontal line.
1. Ultra-dense weight distribution design for smoother swing (applied to PRO·TOUR·GAME)
Using high-strength volume compression resin in the frame, the ultra-dense weight distribution design makes the swing smoother and improves the ability of continuous attack. In addition, the tungsten-containing spikes on the top of the frame are heavier than the traditional single-body wire guard tube, which provides an enhancement for the rotational force generation system and quickly transmits the hitting force to the ball head.
Upgrade the rotational force generation system and achieve a higher level of weight distribution design
2. New wire hole design improves ball holding (applied to PRO·TOUR·GAME)
By adding volume compression resin to the frame, the strength of the frame has been improved, so the use of large-diameter wire holes on both sides of the frame will not affect the strength of the frame. By expanding the movable range of the racket string, the contact time between the racket face and the ball head when hitting the ball is increased.
3. Frame design for high-level players (applied only to PRO)
Compared with the old model, the frame is closer to a quadrilateral. YONEX's iconic square head has been upgraded to form a larger and more forgiving sweet spot. Even if you don't hit the center of the racket face, you can still hit the ball powerfully and stably. The thickened design on the side of the racket frame improves the rigidity of the racket frame.
4. The new racket shaft and cone cover bring a better swing feel, achieving better racket shaft bending and rebound (only for PRO)
The racket shaft uses a thinner EXTRA SLIM SHAFT than the old model, which makes the swing feel better. And the power conversion cone cover PLUS is used to bring better racket shaft bending and rebound.
