Yonex Astrox Nextage

The Astrox Nextage sits in its own corner of the Astrox range - part of Yonex's Nextage line, built around comfort and stable power rather than the fine control the rest of the Astrox family chases.

Head-heavy balance and a medium flex shaft give you power that doesn't depend on a fast, technically precise swing. An 80-hole head, a first for Astrox against the usual 76, spreads the sweet spot wider and makes off-centre hits more forgiving. Tungsten in the frame and Nanomesh Neo in the shaft add stability without extra weight, so smashes and clears still carry through when a shot isn't hit dead-centre.

Best for intermediate and advanced club players, particularly in doubles, who want dependable power and more forgiveness than a traditional Astrox frame. If precise touch matters more to you than stability, an Arcsaber or a Nanoflare will suit you better - this racket trades some of that fine control for a steadier, more powerful platform.
