The ASTROX E13 is an entry-level YONEX racket that pairs a tough aluminium head with a graphite shaft. It suits beginners, school players and social games, giving a durable frame with some of the ASTROX range's head-weighted feel.
Key features
- Aluminium frame – resists knocks from clashes and floor contact, ideal for new players.
- Graphite shaft – lighter and more responsive than an all-steel shaft.
- Rotational Generator System – YONEX's counterbalanced weight layout from the ASTROX range.
- Isometric head and Control Support Cap – a larger sweet spot plus a wider, flatter grip end for better racket control.
