Yonex ASTROX 77 Pro Unstrung Badminton Racket [High Orange]

The Astrox 77 pro strung with Xb63 is an absolute beast. My smash had a visible improvement, the racket feels easy to use for a head heavy attacking racket. For reference, I strung it at 24/26.

I recently went from a stiff head-light racket (Yonex Nanoflare 700) to a stiff slightly head-heavy racket (Victor Thruster TTY-A) and loved everything about the new racket but started experiencing elbow pain in my racket arm. I lowered the tension but the pain persisted. I figured if I could get my hands on a racket with similar weight distribution to the Thruster TTY but with more flex, it would help alleviate the elbow pain and help me make the transition to the Thruster TTY. So I got myself an Astrox 77 Pro. One thing I did not account for was the fact that the timing of the swing would be quite different between a flexible and a stiff racket, and boy is the Astrox 77 Pro more flexible than all my other rackets. Yonex claims the racket is medium flex, but it should be labelled high flex. I have played with medium flex rackets that were significantly stiffer than the Astrox 77 Pro.

My son loves it
