The ASTROX 100 GAME gives you the head-heavy ASTROX 100 frame with a medium-flex shaft, so it is far easier to use than the extra-stiff TOUR and ZZ. It suits intermediate players who enjoy attacking from the back and want more weight behind their smashes while still developing swing speed.
Key features
-
NANOMESH NEO – a graphite material that gives good repulsion with a more forgiving feel than the stiffest frames.
-
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.
-
10 mm longer than standard – a little extra reach and leverage on overhead shots.

Stringing
This is the strung version of the racket. You can add professional stringing on this page: choose your string and tension, and we string it at our Point Cook shop. See our racket stringing service.
Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play, and who is it for?
Attack, with a forgiving medium-flex shaft. YONEX places the 100 GAME at intermediate to advanced level.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 3U G5 or 4U G5. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g. G5 is one of the thinner YONEX grip sizes (thinner than G4).
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX advises 20–28 lbs for 4U and 21–29 lbs for 3U. Please don't string above the top of that range. YONEX suggests Aerobite Boost for control players and BG66 Force for hard hitters.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
Yes, this is the strung version. If you would rather have a different string or tension, you can choose "Add professional stringing" on this page. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included, and regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days.
How is it different from the ASTROX 100 ZZ and 100 TOUR?
YONEX lists the 100 ZZ with an extra-stiff Namd shaft, Black Micro Core and Nanometric in the frame, made in Japan. The 100 TOUR is also extra stiff with a Namd shaft but uses NANOMESH NEO in the frame. The 100 GAME has a medium-flex NANOMESH NEO shaft, making it the most forgiving of the three.
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.
