Yonex Astrox 100 Game summary
The Yonex Astrox 100 Game is the wallet- and human-friendly version of Viktor Axelsen’s preferred racket at the time of writing this, the Astrox 100ZZ.
The Astrox 100 Game is intended as a racket for the intermediate player who loves power and wants as much of it as possible. It currently carries the most head weight of all Yonex’s rackets for that skill level. The more expensive Astrox 100 Tour and 100ZZ are stiffer and intended for more skilled players.
Who this racket is best for
This racket is well-suited for intermediate players who like attacking and don’t expect to win too many rallies through tight net play. If you’d like to add extra power to your game, such as if you’re struggling clearing from backline to backline, this racket could be a good choice.
Who this racket isn’t suitable for
If you’re an advanced player, you’d probably prefer the Astrox 100 Tour or 100ZZ as they are stiffer versions of the same racket.
If you’re a beginner hovering around the advanced-beginner to low-intermediate level and are looking for something similar, you might want to consider a more flexible racket like the Yonex Astrox 77 Play or the Yonex Astrox 99 Play.
If you have no problem generating power through technique alone or if you just prefer a different playing style than smashing your way to points, this racket likely isn’t what you’re looking for.
