The Yonex Astrox Nextage 4U Badminton Racket is the key to unfiltered power with an addictive feel. This racket is designed for intermediate players looking for more power and to bring their game to the next level.
The Nextage is designed in a muted colorway consisting of a black base with dark green accents, finished off with a matte finish, creating a luxurious and chic aesthetic, packed with incredible technologies to ensure premium feel and advanced level play.
Nanomesh NEO - Ensures a stronger more flexible frame, while increased shaft flex creates maximum power.
AERO + BOX Frame - Combines a solid hitting feel and a quick swing.
Rotational Generator System - Counterbalanced weight distribution. By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly with rapid succession.
Super Slim Shaft - Reduced air resistance. The slimmest racket ever produced by Yonex vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum feel.
Energy Boost Cap Plus - Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance.The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racket face by preventing the shaft from twisting.
Vibration Dampening Mesh - Vibration Dampening Mesh, VDM, is a stretchy mesh material rolled with the carbon to reduce unwanted vibrations.

BUYING GUIDE
Badminton Rackets Buying Guide
The key question to ask firstly is what style of player are you, or what type of player do you want to become?
- Power Attacking
- All Round
- Fast Reactions to Rallies
- Control and Touch, by moving players around the court to create space
As a general guide for your playing style below is the kind of racket you'll want to look at purchasing:
| Playing Style | Racket Balance | Racket Flexibility | Racket Weight |
| Power Attacking | Head Heavy | Stiff | 85g – 89g (3U) |
| All Round | Balanced | Medium | 80g – 84g (4U) |
| Speed & Fast Reactions | Head Light | Medium | 79g or below (5U and up) |
| Control & Touch | Head Light | Hi Flex | 79g or below (5U and up) |
In simple terms is means this:
Player with Explosive Backswing Hitting = Stiffer Shaft needed as it'll unload faster for more power.
Player with Slower Backswing Hitting = More Flexible Shaft needed so that it'll unload fully at impact.
If you're still unsure what to choose for yourself, we'd recommend going for a medium flex badminton racket to minimise the chances of choosing incorrectly what's right for you.
Weight:
Weight can make a real difference to reaction speeds, and power behind the hit of a shuttle. Too light a racket and it won't go far or powerful enough. However too heavy a racket and you'll find you'll be reacting too slow in fast flat rallies, where reaction speed is everything.:
Most rackets are weighted around 3U (85-89g) or 4U (80-84g), this is because it's a good weight balance for players to hit hard and also be able to react fast too.:
Typically singles players will use heavier rackets 3U (85-89g), this provides the player with more stability and accuracy, with a little more weight for power behind it, without compromising on racket speed too much, as quick racket head speed isn't needed as much in the singles game:
Doubles players however will usually want lighter rackets, the most popular weight for this being 4U (80-84g), this is because the Badminton Racket will offer more speed and quicker reactions in around the net and for defence against smashes.:
Racket Strings Used & Tension:
Again like the grip, this is customisable on any racket. However do look out for racket tension ranges on the product as this could potentially limit your ability to have the racket strung at a desired tension.:
For a full breakdown on strings and tensions, see our buying guide specifically on this.:
To put it simply however, if you're unsure what to choose when buying a racket you like, either go for the “Original Strings” option or “Stringers Professional Decision” for which we'll choose the string that best suits getting the maximum performance out of the racket for you.:
