Description
The Astrox 99 Game (3rd Gen) brings the attacking DNA of the Astrox 99 line to intermediate players. A medium flex and head-heavy balance give you steep, powerful smashes from the rear court while staying forgiving enough to keep improving on.

Why Players Choose the Astrox 99 Game
The Rotational Generator System spreads weight across the grip end, frame top and joint, so you recover quickly between attacking shots. The Power-Assist Bumper adds mass at the frame top to push more energy into the shuttle, and the ISOMETRIC frame shape enlarges the sweet spot for better control on off-centre hits.
2G-NANOMESH NEO in the frame and shaft builds a stronger, more flexible frame with higher repulsion. Compared to the Tour and Pro models, the Game's medium flex is far more forgiving of slower swing speeds, which is exactly what makes it the right entry point into the 99 series.
Who Is This For?
- Intermediate players building an attacking, rear-court game
- Anyone who wants Astrox 99 power without a stiff shaft to fight
- Players stepping up from the Astrox 99 Play
If you already have fast, strong swing mechanics and want maximum smash weight, look at the Astrox 99 Tour or Astrox 99 Pro instead.
FAQ Section
Q1: Does it come strung? Yes. This racket ships prestrung and ready to play straight out of the cover.
Q2: How is the Game different from the Tour (3rd Gen)? The Game has a medium flex shaft; the Tour is stiff and aimed at advanced players. The Game is more forgiving and easier to generate power with at moderate swing speeds.
Q3: How is the 3rd Gen different from the White Tiger and Cherry Sunburst versions? The 3rd Gen is the current Black/Green generation, updated with CSR in the frame and 2G-NANOMESH NEO through the frame and shaft.
Q4: What tension should I use if I restring it? Yonex advises 20-28 lbs for the 4U frame. Exceeding the recommended range shortens frame life and is not covered by warranty.
Q5: What string does Yonex recommend? AEROBITE for control players, EXBOLT 68 for hard hitters.
Q6: Is it good for doubles? It can be used for doubles, but the head-heavy balance favours attacking singles. For a faster defensive racket, look at the Nanoflare series.
