Yonex Astrox 70

Aggressive attacking play with steep smashes

Yonex Astrox Verified spec
Best for Intermediate Power / Attack

BadmintonLabs TakeVery flexible, head-heavy power frame — puts mass behind the smash. A light 4U build, strung up to 26 lb.

Community verdict ★ 3.9 (34) Astrox 70 — older head-heavy attack frame, still a fair intermediate power pick.
What makes it special
  • Namd — Graphite that disperses carbon nanotubes evenly, more flex AND faster snapback. Pro-tier Astrox.
  • VDM (Vibration Dampening Material) — Layer between graphite layers that filters unwanted vibration.
  • Tungsten — Tungsten weighting in the frame for swing-weight tuning.
