The ASTROX 99 TOUR (2nd generation) is the Taiwan-made version of the ASTROX 99 PRO, keeping the stiff shaft and head-heavy balance. It suits strong intermediate and advanced players who want a powerful smash for singles or rear-court doubles play.
Key features
- Namd graphite – a quick-recovering graphite that adds pace when the shaft snaps back.
- Rotational Generator System – counterbalanced weight helps the head-heavy frame stay manageable in fast exchanges.
- Stiff shaft – precise and powerful for players with a fast swing.
- Isometric head shape – a squarer head for a larger sweet spot.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
Attack. It is stiff and head-heavy, built for players who like to smash and clear hard.
What weight and grip is it?
We list 3U and 4U with a G5 grip. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g; G5 is a thinner grip than G4. Please check which version you are ordering.
What string tension do you recommend?
Retail spec sheets give 20–28 lbs for the 4U version. Please do not exceed 28 lbs.
How is it different from the ASTROX 99 PRO?
Both have a stiff shaft and a head-heavy balance. The TOUR is made in Taiwan and costs less; the PRO is made in Japan.
Does it come strung? Can you string it for me?
If you want to confirm whether it is supplied strung, contact us before ordering. To have it strung, choose "Add professional stringing" on this page and pick your string and tension, and we will string it at our Point Cook shop.
