The Yonex ASTROX Nextage is the latest in the ASTROX series, designed for intermediate players seeking increased power and comfort. Its sleek, matte finish and medium flex shaft enable players to generate powerful smashes and clears, while the wide diameter grommets on the side of the frame enhance string movement and shuttle hold for improved control. The racquet is comparable to the ASTROX 77 Tour but has the added benefit of the Vibrating Dampening Mesh (VDM) incorporated into the graphite, making it more user-friendly for the arms.
