Description

The iconic ISOMETRIC head shape is enhanced for a larger, more forgiving sweet spot. Frame sides are strategically reinforced with wider areas for a stronger construct.

Like the ASTROX 88 S/D models, the new ASTROX 99 will be available to a wider audience with versions PRO, TOUR, GAME, and PLAY, designed and crafted with the same performance concept for different levels of play. The ASTROX 99 is a head-heavy power racquet, boasting the heaviest swing weight of the ASTROX series. It’s 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 racquet that would give him both power and the ability to convert defensive plays into offense; the result is an improved ASTROX 99 where decisive power is accompanied by extended shuttle hold for enhanced defensive shot-making. Intricate weight distribution technology designed with the counterbalance theory that allows head-heavy racquets to recover faster between shots. By employing the VOLUME CUT RESIN and POWER-ASSIST BUMPER, the new ASTROX 99 models have a further refined Rotational Generator System where intricate weight distribution can be taken to the next level.

Overall Thoughts

Hitting drop shots proved interesting. The feel was there, delivery good and the shuttle felt solid on the stringbed. Again, there doesn’t appear to be the same speed as Astrox 88D and was possibly a touch slower and similar to 88S. The shots were still very good and I did detect a slightly better angle on some of the shots, or am I being swayed by the marketing? With the 3U version expected in Europe in October/November, it’s going to be a tough choice which version to choose. Most likely I’d take the 3U but I would also have preferred a choice in grip sizes. The Extra Slim Shaft uses Nanometric carbon technology to maintain strength and is featured on all Astrox Pro and Tour models. TOKYO, Japan – 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 No1. Kento Momota. The new ASTROX 99 goes a step beyond unequivocal raw power, gaining the ability to control the pace of the game. The new ASTROX 99 will be available in late-September with a design reveal on September 1st.
