This third-generation model features an improved Rotational Generator System with weight distribution at the grip end, frame top, and joint. Furthermore, the Power Assist Bumper adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer while reducing air resistance. The
shaft and frame are equipped with the advanced carbon material 2G-Namd™ Flex Force*1, improving ball control and release. The lightweight end cap achieves a more head-heavy weight distribution than previous models. The maximum head weight increases flexibility, while the high-rigidity shaft suppresses face wobble, resulting in a highly accurate feel and powerful smashes.
The color scheme is based on green and black, evoking the image of a planet colliding with a meteorite, with a marble-like finish for a dignified feel. Orange accents from the frame to the grip convey the image of ball-hitting information.
The lineup expands to include PRO and GAME, with the addition of the new TOUR model. The PRO model will be used by 2019 World Championship winners Pusarla V. Sindhu (India) and Alex Lanier (France).
*1 Namd™ and 2G-Namd™ are technologies developed by Nitta Corporation that "uniformly integrate nano-dispersed carbon nanotubes into carbon fiber." 2G-Namd™ Flex Force dramatically improves resilience to deformation by applying 2G-Namd™, an evolution of Namd™'s CNT layer structure into a three-dimensional structure. Namd™ and 2G-Namd™ are registered trademarks of Nitta Corporation in Japan.

Astrox 99 Pro 3rd Gen product Technology:
rotational generator system
QUICK BENEFIT
Continuous powerful attacks
PROPERTIES
- Weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for continued powerful attacks
- POWER-ASSIST BUMPER adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer to the shuttle while reducing air resistance
- The LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP enables an extremely head-heavy weight distribution
RESULT
Enhanced Rotational Generator System guiding smooth transitions from shot to shot
2G Namd Flex Force
QUICK BENEFIT
Uncompromised shot power and increased shot information
PROPERTIES
- Graphite characterized by its quick flex and snapback.
- The Carbon Nanotube binding the graphite together reduces energy loss and enhances its resilience.
RESULT
Used in the whole racquet, the rapid flex and snapback allows more shuttle hold to feel the shuttle and transmit maximum power.
*Used in PRO/TOUR models
*Namdis technology developed by Nitta Co., Ltd. to uniformly disperse carbon nanotubes in carbon fiber composites.
LIGHTWEIGHT END CAP
QUICK BENEFIT
Increased power
PROPERTIES
A newly designed end cap which is made lighter by removing the weight inside
RESULT
Balance is shifted towards the racquet head, making this model the most head-heavy racquet within the current line-up
CONCENTRATED SWEET SPOT FOR POWER
QUICK BENEFIT
Increased shot power
PROPERTIES
Concentrating power to the sweet spot by revising the frame shape.
RESULT
Meeting the demand of heavy smashers with an increased shot power
SHOT INFORMATION CONNECTOR
QUICK BENEFIT
Increased shot information
PROPERTIES
- Weight is concentrated in the racquet head by taking out weight from the shaft and end cap to increase flex
- The ANTI-TORSION SHAFT using high rigidity graphiteis designed to lower the torque, keeping the racquet face straight
RESULT
Provides confidence with increased shot information by extending contact time between the shuttle and the string to transfer information without loss
