The Astrox 99 Pro badminton racket features several high-quality materials that contribute to its overall performance.

Additionally, the racket's grommets are made of a high-strength material to reduce friction and improve string durability.
Technologies:
-
Namd: Yonex's signature Namd technology is used in the Astrox 99 Pro. Namd is a graphite material that provides a unique flex and fast snapback, allowing for quicker and more powerful shots.
-
Rotational Generator System: The Rotational Generator System is designed to distribute weight throughout the racket to create a perfect balance for players. This system enables faster acceleration and increased power in shots.
-
Modified Isometric Frame shape: The Modified ISOMETRIC frame shape of the Astrox 99 Pro provides a larger sweet spot compared to conventional rackets. This means players can achieve greater power and control even when hitting off-center shots. Additionally, the frame shape helps to reduce air resistance, allowing for faster swing speeds and more explosive shots. This feature is particularly useful for players who want to generate a lot of power in their shots.
- Dual Optimum System:
The Dual Optimum System is another technology featured in the Astrox 99 Pro. It is a combination of two different racquet properties - box-shaped and aero-shaped - to create a balanced and responsive frame. The box-shaped design creates a solid hitting feel with minimal torque, while the aero-shaped design reduces air resistance for a faster swing. By combining these two properties, the Dual Optimum System helps players achieve a higher level of control and power in their shots.
-
POWER-ASSIST BUMPER: The Astrox 99 Pro badminton racket features a Power Assist Bumper, which is designed to provide increased swing speed and power. This technology works by absorbing shock during impact and converting it into additional energy that is transferred back to the shuttlecock upon contact. This results in a more powerful shot with less effort from the player. Additionally, the Power Assist Bumper helps to reduce fatigue in the player's arm and wrist, allowing for longer, more intense play sessions
