Frequently Asked Questions: Astrox 100 Tour
Q: What is the difference between the Astrox 100 Tour and the Astrox 100ZZ (Pro)? A: The 100ZZ is Made in Japan with Hyper-MG graphite and a solid core shaft. The 100 Tour is Made in Taiwan. However, unlike most Tour models, this specific racket does feature the premium Rexis Shaft, making it feel incredibly close to the Pro version in terms of stiffness and snapback.
Q: Is the "Dark Olive" colorway different from the Kurenai or Navy models? A: The specs are identical to the standard Astrox 100 Tour. "Dark Olive" is the limited edition colorway designed in collaboration with Viktor Axelsen for his "VA" collection.
Q: Is this racket head-heavy? A: Yes. It features the Rotational Generator System which distributes weight to the top of the frame, the joint, and the grip. It feels slightly head-heavy but maneuvers quickly for defense.
Q: Is it suitable for intermediate players? A: It is listed as Extra Stiff, but many players find the Tour version slightly more forgiving than the Japanese 100ZZ. It is ideal for aggressive intermediate players looking to upgrade their smash.
