The ASTROX 3 DG HF pairs a flexible shaft with a frame rated for unusually high string tension, up to 35 lbs. It suits improving players who want an attacking ASTROX feel and the option to string tighter as their technique develops, at a budget-friendly level.
Key features
-
High-tension frame – YONEX rates it for 20–35 lbs, a much wider range than most rackets.
-
Flexible (Hi-Flex) shaft – bends easily, so clears and lifts reach the back of the court without a full, fast swing.
-
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.
-
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
This is the strung version of the racket. 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
Who is this racket for?
Improving players who like an attacking feel and want a frame that can handle a higher tension later on.
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 rates this frame for 20–35 lbs. Please don't go above 35 lbs. A higher tension needs good timing, so most club players stay well below the maximum.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
Yes, this is the strung version. If you would rather have a different string or tension, you can choose "Add professional stringing" on this page. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included, and regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days.
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.
