The ASTROX 77 TOUR offers the head-heavy, fast-handling ASTROX 77 design with a medium-flex NANOMESH NEO shaft. It suits intermediate players who like to attack and want a comfortable, forgiving feel in quick rallies.
Key features
-
LIGHT Feel CARBON NEO – a carbon material in the frame for a lighter, more comfortable feel at impact.
-
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.

Stringing
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?
Attack with a comfortable feel; the medium-flex shaft is forgiving on timing.
What colours and sizes are available?
We offer it in High Orange and Light Beige, in 3U G5 or 4U G6. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g and 4U means 80–84 g. On YONEX grips, 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 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 PRO 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.
