YONEX Astrox 100 ZZ Viktor Axelsen Badminton Racket
Description
The YONEX Astrox 100 ZZ Viktor Axelsen Badminton Racket is a top-of-the-line performance racket built for elite attacking players who demand maximum power and precision. Endorsed by Olympic and World Champion Viktor Axelsen, this professional-grade racket is designed to dominate rallies with explosive smashes while maintaining exceptional control. Its bold design reflects its high-performance DNA, making it a preferred choice for advanced and tournament-level players. Engineered with the Rotational Generator System, the Astrox 100 ZZ features counterbalanced weight distribution across the grip, frame, and joint for superior balance and fast shot recovery. The extra-slim shaft reduces air resistance, enabling faster swing speeds and sharper shot execution. Combined with a stiff shaft profile, the racket delivers instant repulsion and precise feedback, ideal for aggressive, high-tempo play.
Constructed using advanced high-modulus graphite and cutting-edge YONEX technologies, the Astrox 100 ZZ offers outstanding stability, durability, and responsiveness. Its head-heavy balance maximizes power transfer for steep, penetrating smashes, while the optimized frame design ensures accuracy and consistency in both offensive and defensive situations. This racket is built for players who want uncompromising performance at the highest level of the game.
Technologies
NAMD REVOLUTIONARY GRAPHITE – EXPLOSIVE FLEX & POWER: Namd Revolutionary Graphite is a groundbreaking material innovation that introduces a new dimension of performance to badminton rackets. As a world-first graphite technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd., Namd enhances the bonding between graphite fibers and resin, allowing the shaft to flex more effectively under load. This increased flex is paired with a significantly faster snapback at impact, enabling explosive energy release and dramatic power generation. The result is sharper smashes, deeper clears, and improved shot penetration, giving aggressive players the advantage of maximum power without sacrificing control or responsiveness.
NANOMETRIC – LIGHTWEIGHT STRENGTH & DURABILITY: The NANOMETRIC material technology is designed to deliver a lightweight yet exceptionally strong racket structure. By tightly bonding the graphite fibers at a microscopic level, this innovation enhances overall frame strength while reducing unnecessary weight, allowing players to move the racket faster and react more quickly during rallies. In addition, NANOMETRIC minimizes frame twisting at impact, resulting in improved stability and shot accuracy. Developed using NANOALLOY technology from Toray Industries, Inc., this advanced material ensures a solid feel, consistent control, and reliable performance, even during high-intensity play.
AERO+BOX FRAME – SPEED WITH SOLID CONTROL: The AERO+BOX Frame technology combines aerodynamic efficiency with structural stability to deliver faster swing speeds without compromising control. Its streamlined aero shape reduces air resistance, allowing players to generate quicker racket head speed for rapid reactions and sharper attacking shots. At the same time, the box frame construction enhances rigidity and provides a solid, stable feel at impact. This balance of speed and strength ensures improved accuracy, consistent shot placement, and confident performance during both aggressive rallies and controlled exchanges.
ISOMETRIC – ENLARGED SWEET SPOT FOR CONSISTENCY: ISOMETRIC technology is engineered to enhance consistency and performance by significantly enlarging the racket’s sweet spot. Developed by YONEX over 30 years ago, this iconic innovation has been trusted by the world’s greatest players to deliver reliable results at the highest level of the game. By increasing the sweet spot by 7%*, ISOMETRIC™ helps players achieve cleaner, more accurate shots even on off-center hits. Unlike conventional round frames, the square-shaped ISOMETRIC design optimizes the intersection of the main and cross strings, creating a larger and more forgiving hitting area. This advanced frame structure delivers superior control without sacrificing power, allowing players to maintain precision, confidence, and shot quality throughout fast-paced rallies.
ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM – CONTROL & STABILITY: The Rotational Generator System is designed around advanced counterbalanced weight distribution to deliver superior control and balance. By strategically distributing weight across the grip end, frame top, and the joint, the racket achieves optimal stability, allowing players to maintain precision and confidence during fast-paced exchanges. This intelligent weight distribution enables smoother transitions between shots, making it easier to recover and prepare for the next stroke in rapid succession. As a result, players benefit from improved maneuverability, quicker reactions, and consistent performance throughout intense rallies.
ENERGY BOOST CAP PLUS – MAXIMIZED FLEX & POWER: The Energy Boost CAP PLUS is an advanced racket cap design engineered to maximize shaft performance and enhance overall playability. Its unique front structure allows the shaft to flex efficiently, enabling players to generate greater power and faster shuttle acceleration with minimal effort. The arched side curves of the Energy Boost CAP PLUS provide additional stability by preventing unwanted shaft twisting during impact. This design ensures improved accuracy, consistent shot placement, and a solid, controlled feel, even during high-speed rallies and off-center hits.
BLACK MICRO CORE – STABILITY AND POWERFUL IMPACT: The BLACK MICRO CORE is a high-density, vibration-dampening material strategically placed in the upper half of the racket frame. Its advanced construction reduces unwanted vibrations upon impact, providing players with a more stable and controlled feel during fast-paced shots. By combining stiffness with effective damping, BLACK MICRO CORE enhances shot precision while allowing players to generate powerful smashes with confidence. This technology ensures consistent performance, a solid hitting sensation, and improved comfort, even during intense rallies.
