Yonex Astrox 77 Tour Limited Edition Badminton Racket :
Control That You Can Actually Feel at Impact
The Yonex Astrox 77 Tour Limited Edition is built around one idea — shuttle hold. More contact time means more control over where the shuttle goes, and the Astrox 77 Tour delivers this without sacrificing swing speed. Even balance, medium flex, HM Graphite frame and shaft. It's the racket for intermediate to advanced players who want precision over raw power.

Key Technologies
POCKETING BOOSTER + Enhanced Astrox Frame — A proprietary rubber-like material lines the inside of the frame, adding elasticity at the sides. Combined with a deliberately stiffer build at the top and bottom, the frame holds the shuttle on the string bed fractionally longer before releasing it — giving you better directional control on drops, clears, and cross-court placements.
T-ANCHOR — A composite material built into the T-joint that reduces torque on off-center contacts. When you don't hit the sweet spot perfectly, the frame twists less, so the shuttle still goes roughly where you aimed it.
Built-in T-Joint — Reinforced connection between frame and shaft eliminates head twist on impact, adding another layer of stability during fast exchanges.
HM Graphite Frame + Shaft — High-modulus graphite in both the frame and the shaft makes this stiffer than standard graphite at the same weight. You get a solid, connected feel on impact without a heavy racket.
Isometric Head Shape — Sweet spot enlarged by 7% over a conventional oval frame. Consistent results even when the contact point shifts during extended rallies.
Who Is This Racket For?
The Astrox 77 Tour suits players who rely on placement over power — cross-court drops, tight net shots, controlled clears to the back tramlines. The even balance makes it equally comfortable in singles baseline play and doubles front-court defence. Medium flex means the shaft bends enough to help you generate pace without needing a fast arm, which is why it works well for intermediate players moving toward competitive play.
If you hit with a lot of wrist and rely on deception, the extra shuttle hold from POCKETING BOOSTER will amplify that. If you're a hard-hitting rear-court smasher, the Astrox series will serve you better.
