Astrox 77 Pro

Yonex Astrox 77 Pro Badminton Racket

The Yonex Astrox 77 Pro is a head-heavy badminton racket designed for intermediate to advanced players who want a strong combination of power, responsiveness and handling. As the Pro model in the Astrox 77 range, it uses a medium-flex shaft and a 10 mm longer design to support powerful attacking shots while maintaining good manoeuvrability.

The racket features Yonex’s Rotational Generator System, which distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and joint. This helps the racket transition smoothly between shots, making it well suited to players who build pressure through consecutive attacking strokes. The head-heavy balance adds weight behind shots while retaining the handling needed for fast exchanges.

Its shaft combines HM Graphite, Namd™ and Ultra PE Fiber. Namd™ is designed to improve the shaft’s flex and snapback characteristics, helping generate power from the racket’s movement. The Energy Boost Cap Plus and Super Slim Shaft further contribute to the racket’s responsive feel, while Ultra PE Fiber is incorporated into the shaft construction.

The frame uses HM Graphite, Flex Fuse and Tungsten. Flex Fuse is incorporated around the joint to provide a softer, more comfortable hitting feel, while Tungsten contributes to the racket’s weight distribution. The ISOMETRIC™ frame increases the effective sweet spot, and the AERO+BOX Frame combines aerodynamic characteristics with a solid hitting response.

The Astrox 77 Pro is available in 4U (average 83 g) and 3U (average 88 g), with multiple grip sizes depending on weight. It is 10 mm longer than a standard racket and has a medium shaft flex. Yonex recommends 20–28 lbs for the 4U version and 21–29 lbs for the 3U version. Made in Japan and finished in High Orange, it is a strong option for players seeking a powerful but versatile attacking racket.
