Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen

Yonex Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen Badminton Racket

The Yonex Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen is a premium, head-heavy badminton racket designed for intermediate to advanced players who build their game around powerful attacking shots. As part of the third-generation Astrox 99 series, it is engineered to deliver explosive smash power while maintaining a stable, precise response through the rally.

The racket features Yonex’s enhanced Rotational Generator System, which distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and joint. Combined with the Power Assist Bumper, this construction concentrates weight towards the racket head to improve power transfer while helping the racket recover between consecutive shots.

The Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen incorporates 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE in the frame and shaft. This graphite technology is designed for rapid flex and snapback, helping the racket store and release energy efficiently. A Lightweight End Cap further shifts the balance towards the head, while the Anti-Torsion Shaft is designed to reduce twisting and help maintain a stable racket face at impact.

The Shot Information Connector is another key feature of the third-generation model. By reducing weight in the shaft and end cap while using high-rigidity graphite in the shaft, the design is intended to provide clearer feedback at impact and greater stability through contact. The ISOMETRIC™ frame also provides a larger effective sweet spot for more consistent contact.

The Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen has a stiff shaft, is 10 mm longer than a standard racket and is available in 4U and 3U weight options. Yonex recommends 20–28 lbs for 4U and 21–29 lbs for 3U. Made in Japan and finished in Black/Green, it is a strong choice for experienced attacking players who want maximum emphasis on smash power, head-heavy balance and a precise, stable response.
