The ASTROX 01 FEEL is a beginner-friendly ASTROX racket with a flexible shaft and a slightly head-weighted feel. It helps newer players get the shuttle to the back of the court with less effort, and suits school, social and early club play.
Key features
-
Flexible (Hi-Flex) shaft – bends easily, so clears and lifts reach the back of the court without a full, fast swing.
-
ASTROX head-heavy feel – a little extra head weight adds carry on clears and smashes.
-
10 mm longer than standard – a little extra reach and leverage on overhead shots.
-
Graphite frame and shaft – light (average 83 g for 4U) and easy to handle.

Questions & answers
Who is this racket for?
YONEX rates the ASTROX 01 series for beginner to intermediate players.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 4U G5. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g. G5 is one of the thinner YONEX grip sizes (thinner than G4).
What string tension do you recommend?
YONEX advises 20–28 lbs. Please don't string above 28 lbs.
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 the FEEL different from the ASTROX 01 CLEAR?
On yonex.com both share the same listed specs (Hi-Flex graphite, 4U avg. 83 g, 10 mm longer, 20–28 lbs). The difference shown is the colourway; this one is White / Mint.
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.
