The ASTROX 77 PRO is a made-in-Japan attacking racket that balances head-heavy power with quick handling, thanks to a medium-flex Namd shaft. It suits intermediate to advanced players who like fast, aggressive rallies and want a racket that is easier to swing than the stiffest ASTROX models.
Key features
-
Flex Fuse frame with Namd shaft – materials chosen for quick snap-back and fast handling.
-
Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft – helps damp vibration, so hits feel cleaner in the hand.
-
Tungsten in the frame – extra mass near the head adds weight behind smashes and clears.
-
Rotational Generator System – the ASTROX weighting is spread across the grip end, the frame top and the joint, so the racket comes back into position quickly between shots.
-
Built-in T-Joint – the shaft is set inside the throat of the frame, which keeps the head steady and the shot direction consistent.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play, and who is it for?
Attack with good manoeuvrability. The medium-flex shaft makes the power easier to access. YONEX places the 77 PRO at intermediate to advanced level.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 4U G6 or 3U G5. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g. On YONEX grips, a higher G number is thinner, so G6 is thinner than G5.
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX advises 19–27 lbs for 4U and 20–28 lbs for 3U. Please don't string above the top of that range. YONEX suggests AEROBITE for control players and EXBOLT 65 for hard hitters.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
If you want to confirm whether it is supplied strung, contact us before ordering. We can string it for you: on this page choose "Add professional stringing", then pick your string and tension, or choose "Keep original condition" to leave it as supplied. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included (YONEX BG65 $27, BG65Ti $29, BG80/Exbolt/Nanogy $30, Aerobite $32, Aerobite Boost $34). Regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days; a faster service is available for a fee when we have capacity.
How is it different from the ASTROX 77 TOUR and PLAY?
YONEX lists the 77 PRO with a Flex Fuse/Tungsten frame and a Namd + Ultra PE Fiber shaft, made in Japan. The 77 TOUR uses LIGHT Feel CARBON NEO in the frame and a NANOMESH NEO shaft. Both are medium flex. The 77 PLAY is a Hi-Flex graphite version for newer players, available in 4U only.
How long does delivery take, and can I pick it up?
Items in our Australian stock ship Australia-wide, usually within 2–6 business days. You can also contact us to arrange pickup from our shop at 15 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook VIC 3030.
