Yonex Astrox 100 ZZ VA Edition Badminton Racquet

Namd – Revolutionary Graphite Technology

Namd™ is a groundbreaking graphite material that delivers exceptional flex and rapid snapback for explosive power generation. This world-first innovation, developed by Nitta Co., Ltd., enhances energy transfer and increases shot acceleration, creating a new dimension of performance in graphite technology.

NANOMETRIC is an advanced material that utilizes NANOALLOY™ technology developed by Toray Industries, Inc. to tightly bond carbon fibers at the molecular level. This structure enhances the racquet’s overall strength, reduces frame twisting upon impact, and enables a lighter design without compromising stability or control.

AERO+BOX Frame

The AERO+BOX Frame combines aerodynamic and box frame structures to deliver both faster swing speeds and a solid, stable feel at impact. This hybrid design minimizes air resistance for quicker maneuverability while maintaining rigidity for powerful and controlled shots.

Developed by Yonex over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ frame design increases the racquet’s sweet spot by approximately 7%compared to conventional round frames.* The square-shaped frame optimizes the intersection of the main and cross strings, expanding the effective hitting area for greater accuracy and forgiveness.

This technology delivers enhanced control without sacrificing power, helping many of the world’s top players achieve consistent, high-level performance.

The Rotational Generator System applies the counterbalance theory by distributing weight strategically across the grip end, frame top, and joint. This balanced weight configuration enhances overall control and stability, allowing players to execute smooth transitions between shots and maintain rapid, continuous play with precision and consistency.

Solid Feel Core – Vibration Reduction Technology

The Solid Feel Core is engineered to minimize vibrations that travel down the shaft upon impact, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable hitting sensation. This technology enhances player comfort and stability, ensuring greater control and consistency during extended play.

The Hyper Slim Shaft is engineered with a streamlined aerodynamic profile to minimize air resistance during swings. This ultra-thin design allows the racquet to cut through the air more efficiently, enabling faster head speed and greater power output for high-intensity, attacking play.

Black Micro Core – High-Density Vibration Dampening Material

Black Micro Core is a stiff, high-density material integrated into the upper half of the frame to enhance stability and power. It effectively absorbs vibrations during impact, providing players with a solid hitting feel, improved control, and greater power transfer for more consistent performance.

New Built-in T-Joint – Enhanced Stability and Control

The New Built-in T-Joint is a lightweight structural enhancement that reinforces the connection between the frame and shaft. This design improves shuttle stability upon impact, ensuring greater control, enhanced accuracy, and optimized power transfer through every shot.
