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.

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.
