Yonex Astrox 22 LT

Aggressive attacking play with steep smashes

Yonex Astrox Verified spec
Best for Beginner-Intermediate Power / Attack

BadmintonLabs TakeMedium-flex, head-light power frame — whips through fast for quick hands and defense. Strung up to 26 lb.

Community verdict ★ 4.2 (75) Ultralight (~70g!) — easy on the arm; not a powerful smasher. Good for arm injuries.
What makes it special
  • Namd — Graphite that disperses carbon nanotubes evenly, more flex AND faster snapback. Pro-tier Astrox.
  • Tungsten — Tungsten weighting in the frame for swing-weight tuning.
  • NANOMESH NEO — Nano-mesh resin in mid-tier graphite for added durability.
