The ASTROX 100VA ZZ is the top model of YONEX's Viktor Axelsen ASTROX 100VA collection, built on an extra-stiff Namd shaft and made in Japan. It is aimed at advanced attacking players with a fast, efficient swing who want maximum weight behind smashes and steep angles from the back of the court.
Key features
- Namd graphite shaft – a carbon material that bends and recovers quickly, helping you put more pace on the shuttle.
- Black Micro Core and Nanometric – frame materials used to keep the head solid and stable on full-power hits.
- Tungsten in the frame – extra mass near the head adds weight behind smashes and clears.
- 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.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
Advanced attacking players. The extra-stiff shaft needs a fast, well-timed swing; players still building technique will find the 100VA GAME or TOUR easier.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 3U G5 or 4U G6. 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 20–28 lbs for 4U and 21–29 lbs for 3U. Please don't string above the top of that range. YONEX suggests AEROBITE for control players and BG66 FORCE 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 100VA GAME and 100VA TOUR?
All three share the 10 mm longer ASTROX 100VA frame. YONEX lists the GAME with a medium-flex NANOMESH NEO shaft, the TOUR with a stiff Namd shaft, and the ZZ with an extra-stiff Namd shaft plus Black Micro Core and Nanometric in the frame (made in Japan). The stiffer the shaft, the more swing speed and technique it needs to get the best from it.
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.
