Yonex Astrox 77 Tour - Performance & Technical Overview
The Yonex Astrox 77 Tour is designed for aggressive players seeking strong rear-court crashing smashes paired with solid control. According to Yonex's official spec page, it features a medium flex shaft.
It comes in two variants: 4U (G5, G6) and 3U (G4, G5, G6). The official stringing advice is up to 20-28 lbs for 4U and 21-29 lbs for 3U.
While Yonex does not explicitly label the balance category in the spec sheet, retail listings frequently describe this model as having a head-heavy balance, making it well suited for steeper attacks and aggressive play.
Key tech includes: HM Graphite frame, Light Feel Carbon NEO, Nanomesh NEO shaft, Built-In T-Joint, and 10 mm longer length (for improved shuttle hold and leverage).
