The ASTROX 99 GAME (2nd generation) in White Tiger is a head-heavy attacking racket built around the same design idea as the ASTROX 99 PRO, using simpler materials and a more flexible shaft. It suits intermediate players who want steep smashes and heavy clears in singles or doubles without the demands of a very stiff frame.
Key features
- Rotational Generator System – weight is spread across the head, joint and grip end so the frame recovers quickly between powerful shots.
- Tungsten in the head (Power-Assist Bumper area) – extra mass at the top of the frame adds weight behind smashes and clears.
- HM Graphite with NANOMESH NEO – a lighter, more forgiving build than the Pro, with a slightly softer shaft that is easier to load.
- Isometric head shape – a squarer head that enlarges the sweet spot, so off-centre hits still travel well.

Questions & answers
Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
It is an attacking racket. The head-heavy balance and Rotational Generator System are aimed at players who like to smash and clear from the back of the court.
What weight and grip is it?
This racket is 4U with a G5 grip. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g; G5 is a thinner grip than G4.
What string tension do you recommend?
Retail spec sheets for this model give 20–28 lbs for the 4U version. Please do not string above 28 lbs.
How is it different from the ASTROX 99 PRO?
The PRO (made in Japan) uses HM Graphite with Namd and has a stiff shaft. The GAME is made in Taiwan with HM Graphite and NANOMESH NEO, giving a softer, easier-to-use feel.
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.
