Yonex Astrox 02 Clear - Technical Review & Full Performance Breakdown

The Yonex Astrox 02 Clear is a 2025-era badminton racket designed for beginner to intermediate players seeking accessible power, forgiving handling and improved shuttle lift. Featuring a Hi-Flex shaft (mapped here as "flexible") and a head-easy swing weight, it helps generate depth and trajectory without sacrificing control.

Offered in a 4U weight class (average ~83g) with grip size options G4 and G5, the racquet supports a maximum recommended string tension of up to 30lbs - accommodating players who may upgrade their string setup as their technique improves.

With its extended 10 mm longer frame length, the Astrox 02 Clear enhances shuttle acceleration during clears and smashes while maintaining user-friendly manoeuvrability. Its construction prioritises ease-of-use and value, making it a strong choice for improving players who want trusted build quality without advanced-level stiffness.
