The popular ASTROX 99 series known for generating dominating smash power, is coming out with new technology and a new look in collaboration with men’s singles World No 1. Kento Momota. The new ASTROX 99 Pro goes a step beyond unequivocal raw power, gaining the ability to control the pace of the game.

The ASTROX 99 Pro is a head-heavy power racket, boasting the heaviest swing weight of the ASTROX series. It is known to generate a single, powerful smash, often too heavy to be speedy in recovery. In response, Yonex worked hand in hand with Kento Momota to craft a racket that would give him both power and the ability to convert defensive plays into offense; the result is an improved ASTROX 99 Pro where decisive power is accompanied by extended shuttle hold for enhanced defensive shot-making.

ISOMETRIC

Enlarged Sweet Spot

ISOMETRIC^TMtechnology continues to help the worlds greatest players achieve global success.

Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC^TMdesign increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC^TMracquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.

ISOMETRIC^TMdelivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC^TMis a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD.

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. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly, with rapid succession

Control Support CAP

Sharp Maneuverability

The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.
