The Yonex Astrox 3 DG ST is engineered for players who prefer a stiffer shaft for more controlled, precise, and powerful shots. Targeted at intermediate to advanced players, this racket combines stability, accuracy, and consistent repulsion with the lightweight feel of the Astrox 3 series. Its design emphasizes back-court power and fast shuttle response, making it ideal for aggressive clears, smashes, and offensive drives.
Built with HM Graphite and NANOMESH NEO technology, the frame offers enhanced durability and rigidity while keeping the racket lightweight.
