The Yonex ASTROX Nextage is a new addition to the ASTROX line geared towards intermidiate players looking for more power and comfort. This beautifully matted racquet has a medium flex shaft to help players generate power to their smashes and clears, while the wide diameter grommets located on the side of the frame allows more string movement and shuttle hold time for added control. This racquet is similar to the ASTROX 77 Tour but more user arm friendly thanks to the added Vibrating Dampening Mesh (VDM) rolled into the graphite.
