Technical data

Racket test from the 100 series on video

The test puts the Astrox 100 ZZ up against the 99 Pro and not the Tour itself – but since both Kurenai models are head-heavy, run an extra stiff shaft and sit in the 4U weight range, it still gives you a useful idea of how the Tour plays.

Where the 100 Tour parts ways with the 100 ZZ

On both rackets the mass sits up in the head: 4U weight, extra stiff shaft, Rotational Generator System, and a build aimed at finishing the rally from the back of the court. That shared layout puts them in the same family once you play them – what separates them is the frame material and the length.

• 100 ZZ: Namd in shaft and frame, with Tungsten, Black Micro Core and Nanometric added in the frame.
• 100 Tour: High Modulus Graphite throughout, plus 10 mm of extra length.

What the higher price of the ZZ buys you is the material package: Namd snaps the shaft back faster, while Tungsten, Black Micro Core and Nanometric keep the head settled at impact. That pays off once you meet the shuttle in the middle of the string bed and can actually use that direct response – miss the sweet spot and the ZZ lets you know. The Tour is the smarter buy when you need reach at the back or often finish on the move: the extra 10 mm give you leverage and a bit more angle from a high contact point, without softening the attacking character.

Why this racket?

• Head-Heavy Balance: More pressure from the backcourt, steeper angles for smashes and clears.
• Extra stiff shaft: Direct energy transfer, crisp impact feedback, precise placement.
• 10 mm longer: A little more reach and leverage for powerful, steep shots.
• 84 g (4U): Stable, tour-ready weight for hard hits without unstable handling.
• Rotational Generator System: Balanced mass distribution for faster recovery after impact.

Gameplay & Target Audience

If your game is based on pressure, pace, and hard winners , the Yonex Astrox 100 Tour provides the perfect tool: head-heavy for power from the backcourt, extra stiff for direct control. Ideal for singles and attacking doubles when you want to actively dominate rallies.

Stringing (recommendation)

• 9.5–10.5 kg: slightly more catapult effect and comfort, ideal for longer sessions.
• 11–12.5 kg: firm feedback & control for precise, hard finishes.
  We will gladly string your badminton racket with your desired string and exact kg weight .

Which kg figure ends up suiting you is decided by the way you hit, not by the frame. The video sorts through the common tensions and string types so you can put a considered number on your order.

The Yonex Astrox 100 Tour is head-heavy and built for an attacking game. See all models in our racket overview, comparable models under attacking rackets and the full range under Yonex rackets.
