Crossing my fingers to September, YONEX officially revealed the two colourways of the pattern. As a key product after the Olympic Games, YONEX for the ASTROX 99 series of the latest launch of four models, ASTROX 99PRO / TOUR for high-level players and professional players, ASTROX 99GAME for intermediate level players, ASTROX 99PLAY for the entry-level players. The ASTROX 99PRO White Tiger and ASTROX Red are the two rackets that attracted the most attention from the players.
As the main colour white tiger pattern, is also ranked in the world ranking of Kento Momota will use the racket colour scheme, such as the official illustration of the visual pattern of white tiger, paint on the white background of black spots of the white tiger pattern, but also similar to the tribal totem pattern. The White Tiger is a pattern caused by the 1/4 white recessive gene, rare and mysterious, and the tiger as a powerful and brave king of the jungle also fits the symbolism of 99RO’s powerful strength and precise ball control. Sunburst Red is black + red embellished with gold, but after a different colour scheme brings a completely different visual experience, the white tiger pattern is more refreshing and modern, and the white + black embellished with fluorescent yellow is a bit of tribal warrior’s immediate sense of vision, and more of a wild and primitive mysterious colours.
According to the official information, the PRO/TOUR/GAME version uses a high-strength volumetric compression resin in the entire frame to achieve ultra-dense weight distribution for a smoother swing and improved continuous power attack. Volume compression resin is added to the frame to ensure that the strength of the frame will not be compromised even if large aperture wire holes are used. The frame shape of the PRO version for high level players has also been upgraded to be closer to the shape of a quad. This creates a larger and more forgiving sweet spot. The side of the frame has been thickened to increase frame rigidity, and the PRO version uses a thinner EXTRA SLIM SHAFT shaft than the old one, and a Power Conversion Cone PLUS cap for better shaft flex and rebound.
