Technologies:

Revolutionary Graphite

A world-first, new dimension graphite material, Namd, greatly improves the adhesion of the graphite fibers and resin by attaching nanomaterial directly to the graphite fiber.In high-performance racquets, it is common to combine nanomaterials with resin that connects graphite fibers, but in Namd, nanomaterials directly adhere to the graphite fibers, and resin is greatly increased. This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttle.

 Ensures a stronger more flexible frame, while increased shaft flex creates maximum power.

AERO+BOX Frame

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

Enlarged Sweet Spot

ISOMETRIC TM   technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC TM   design increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC TM   racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC TM   delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC TM   is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD. *Tested by Yonex

Built-in T-Joint

Increases strength between the frame and shaft eliminating head twist for more control.

DESCRIPTION

YONEX ASTROX 100 TOUR

1. Expanded Sweet Spot in Modified Frame

Compared to regular round frames, Yonex’s original ISOMETRIC frame creates a wider sweet spot. The ASTROX 100 frame has been slightly modified into an even more square-like shape, increasing the already wide sweet spot by 2.9% *1 , while maintaining the same overall frame size. Benefits of this evolved ISOMETRIC shape include increased power on strong and continuous shots even if they don’t hit the center of the racquet.

2. Newly Designed Cap: E.B.CAP PLUS

A new structure reduces shaft twisting and increases its flexibility. Thumb fitting shape transmits even more power to the shuttle.

The new innovative Rotational Generator System precisely distributes weight to the top of the frame, joints, and the end of the racquet grip.

In ASTROX 100 ZZ, Black Micro Core material at the top of the frame increases rigidity by 4% and vibration absorption by 2% *1 . While the use of Black Micro Core material puts more weight on the head of the frame. A new built-in T-joint, which is 1.3% *1  lighter than any other Yonex racquet, allows the racquet to have a lower weight distribution. By redesigning the racquet’s weight distribution in this manner, high rotational power needed for strong continuous smashes is generated.

4. Extra Slim Shaft

Thinnest, Strongest Ever Produced by Yonex

Cutting edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-tough, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot.

5.   Revolutionary New Graphite Namd

By utilizing high quality Namd graphite throughout the shaft and frame of both models more flex is produced with a faster snapback, unleashing dramatic steep power. The material stays flexible even with increased swing speed, bending when swing speed increases and restoring its original hard shape at the end of the swing. The ability to bend even further and snap back rapidly, produces stronger shots and greater smash speeds.

6. NANOMESH NEO Ensures a stronger more flexible frame, while increased shaft flex creates maximum power.

7. REXIS SHAFT

Still among the highest quality rackets, and with its head-heavy balance and stiff shaft, advanced players can enjoy attacking play with powerful shots from all around the court.

Yonex 2021 ASTROX 100 ZZ Unstrung Badminton Racket [Kurenai]

Kurenai as used by Viktor Axelsen

More precise weight distribution throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint increases the rotational power. These enhancements ensure the momentum for quicker consecutive shots. Namd *1 , which produces more flex and a faster snapback, is used throughout the frame and shaft, unleashing dramatic steep power. The synergy created from the Rotational Generator System enables continuous powerful attacks.  

The already slim shaft has been modified utilizing a high-quality graphite material, creating the slimmest shaft *2   to date in Yonex. It provides a smoother follow-through by reducing air resistance and generates rotational power through more flex and a faster snapback.

The original ISOMETRIC frame has also evolved into a more ISOMETRIC shape, expanding the sweet spot. Designed for reduced power loss from off-center shots, the 2.9% larger sweet spot increases power.

ASTROX 100 ZZ

For advanced players looking for immediate access to power to maintain a relentless attack

4. Improved Swing-ability and Resilience: Slim Shaft

Designed with the slimmest shaft in the history of Yonex racquets *1 , this ASTROX model, traditionally hollow inside, uses graphite material in the core, resulting in an 11.8% *1   reduction in air resistance. By making the shaft solid, resilience is increased, further allowing strong continuous shots.

ASTROX 100 ZX: Extra Slim and Rexis Shaft

Rexis is a high-performance shaft precisely designed through an advanced molding technique with High-Quality, ingenuitive, Performance Graphite material. It has surpassed Yonex’s quality standards.

5.   Revolutionary New Graphite Namd

Yonex Astrox 100ZZ vs Astrox 100 Tour vs Astrox 100 Game Badminton Rackets Review & Comparison

Updated: Oct 4, 2022

Many of you would be familiar with the Astrox 100ZZ , which is the Japan-made model of the Astrox 100 series. Recently, Yonex decided to produce some of its flagship Astrox series rackets in Taiwan, these include the Astrox 88 series and the Astrox 100 series . Thus, the Tour and Game rackets were born. For the Astrox 88 series, apart from the top-range Astrox 88S Pro and Astrox 88D Pro , Yonex has also presented the made in Taiwan Astrox 88S Tour , Astrox 88S Game , Astrox 88D Tour and Astrox 88D Game . Similarly, for the Astrox 100 series, apart from the Astrox 100ZZ , we also have the Astrox 100 Tour and Astrox 100 Game.

Check out the Astrox 100ZZ :

The Tour rackets are the mid-range products, whereas the Game rackets are the lower-range products in their respective series. Therefore, in terms of price, quality of production and materials, the Japan-made flagship models definitely top the chart, followed by the Tour rackets and then lastly, the Game rackets. However, I must say that I am really impressed with the Tour and Game rackets - they are very affordable and at the same time, very well-made with similar finishes compared to the Japan-made flagship rackets.

Let's talk about the Astrox 100 Tour and Game rackets now.

Before we get into the nitty gritty of the review, If you are like me who used to wonder how to tell each of the three rackets apart visually, let me break it down for you.

The most obvious way to tell the Tour and Game rackets apart is, of course, by looking at the decal on the racket frame and shaft. The word "Tour" is painted on the frame and shaft of the Tour rackets, and the word "Game" is painted on the frame and shaft of the Game rackets.

Next is to look at the support cap right above the wooden handle on the racket. The Tour rackets have a similar support cap to the Japan-made flagship made rackets, and the Game rackets have the older generation boxy design racket support cap on them which, coincidently, is the same one used on the second generation Astrox 88S and Astrox 88D .

Thirdly, you will notice that the Japan-made flagship and Tour models have a fully recessed racket frame profile whilst the Game models only have the top half of the racket frame recessed.

Fourthly, in terms of shaft thickness, expect the Japan-made models to have the thinnest shafts. The Tour rackets will then have a thinner shaft compared to the Game rackets.

So far, the same physical features have been used in the flagship, Tour and Game models of the Astrox 88S, Astrox 88D and Astrox 100 series so it looks like Yonex might carry on with this trend going forward.

Moving on to the review of the rackets now.

The Astrox 100ZZ is an extremely fast racket, with plenty of easy big power albeit a smaller sweet spot compared to the traditional Yonex rackets. The racket shaft is stiff but still very nice to play with overall.

For me, the 3U weight class of the Astrox 100ZZ is too heavy. The 3U Astrox 100 ZZ is a much bigger beast compare to the 4U version, essentially everything is souped up – the weight, the solid feel, the oomph behind it, as well as the energy required to play well with it too! It is certainly too much for me to handle, as I'm not able to generate enough racket head speed, especially in the short sharp shots to do this amazing racket justice. In tricky situations where I had to dig out very very late, I wasn't able to play very well with this head heavy racket. The 4U is the preferred weight class for me. However, people who are super strong will absolutely love this racket. Viktor Axelsen , for instance, plays amazingly well with this racket. The amount of power and the crisp feeling you get out of this racket is absolutely insane.

For the Astrox 100 Tour , as mentioned before, is made in Taiwan. You can see it has the words "Nanomesh Neo" printed on the racket and the material itself is used in the frame of the racket. The shaft is what Yonex calls the Rexis shaft which is slightly thicker than the one used on the Astrox 100ZZ at 6.7 mm, but it does contain the innovative Namd material as well.

For me, the Astrox 100 Tour 4U model plays really really well, just a touch slower compared to the Astrox 100ZZ . It felt decently head heavy and has no problem generating a lot of power with good timing. I thought the shaft of the racket was pretty stiff and the swing of the racket felt super smooth. Overall, a very nice racket to play with.

The 3U version of the Astrox 100 Tour , on the other hand, was heavier, more solid and slightly stiffer compared to the 4U version. It really reminded me a lot of the Astrox 100ZX to be honest. I believe they might have very similar design philosophies and I wouldn't be surprised if it was made exactly the same as the Astrox 100ZX model, just painted differently. Again, stronger players will really like this racket.

Let's now look at the Astrox 100 Game model rackets. In this model, there is no Rexis or Namd materials in the racket shaft or the racket itself. It is replaced by the Nanomesh Neo material in both the frame and shaft and the shaft thickness is 7.2 mm, the thickest amongst the three models.

Besides this, it also has the biggest frame amongst the three models at 24 cm x 18.7 cm. Ironically though, it has the thinnest frame at only 9.8mm compared to 10.5mm and 10.6mm for the Astrox 100ZZ and the Astrox 100 Tour rackets. I guess Yonex thought having a thinner frame might speed this racket up considering its bigger frame.

In terms of playability, I thought the Astrox 100 Game rackets have a slightly lighter head in comparison to the Astrox 100 Tour and the Astrox 100ZZ models. They are also just a touch less stiff compared to the Tour models. Out of the three models, I think the Astrox 100 Game rackets are the easiest ones to play with, but have the least power and stiffness.

If we look at the Astrox100 Game 3U rackets, they are, overall, heavier compared to the 4U rackets but still very nice to play with. Punchy and solid. Again, stronger players will really enjoy the 3U models.

Here is a table showing the rackets' measurements for you to easily compare them against each other.

As these rackets are so new, Yonex hasn't even put them on the racket matrix, so here is my interpretation of where the Astrox 100 Tour and Astrox 100 Game rackets might stand in the racket matrix.

In terms of pricing, I believe the Tour rackets are about 25 to 30% less compared to the Japan-made flagship models, and the Game rackets are in turn 25% to 30% cheaper compared to the Tour rackets. So the Tour and Game rackets are actually really good options if you have a tighter budget.

I would also add that both the Astrox 100 Tour and Astrox 100 Game rackets are head-heavier than the Astrox 88S and Astrox 88D Tour and Game models.

Overall, I am really impressed with these apparently lower-range, made in Taiwan models of the Astrox 100 series rackets. My only disappointment would probably be that the Tour and Game rackets come pre-strung with factory strings. I guess it's probably a nice idea to have free strings but when you're buying a racket that is retailed between £140 to £180, you would expect to get fairly decent strings on a pre-strung racket. However, what you are getting is in fact unbranded, unmodelled strings, which are not even one of Yonex's cheaper strings such as the BG65 or BG3 .

The ones I got are also strung at an extremely low tension which is almost unplayable. It really is a shame, because bad strings ruin the feel of good rackets. Imagine buying a Ferrari, and they put on really poor, cheap tires that make the car un-drivable. So my advice to anyone who is buying the Tour and Game rackets would be to get them re-strung with a string of your own preference at your own tensions. This will maximise the enjoyment you will get out of these rackets.

Discovering the historic neighborhoods of Perm

Perm. Building of the Nobility Assembly, Siberia Street 20. August 1999

The city of Perm, a major industrial and administrative center located just on the European side of the northern Urals, extends for miles along the high east bank of the Kama River. It was a destination of particular interest for Russian photographer and chemist Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky (see box text below), who visited the city on his first trip to the Ural Mountains in 1909. 

Prokudin-Gorsky captured a series of riverfront vistas from the just-completed massive railroad bridge across the Kama. But he also took his tripod-mounted camera to the hillocks to the east of the city, where he photographed panoramic views of the central district that give a sense of Perm’s urban neighborhoods.

My first visit to the Perm region occurred nine decades after Prokudin-Gorsky, in the summer of 1999. Subsequent trips, in 2014 and 2017, revealed a city marked by major new construction. 

The name “Perm” is documented as early as the 12th-century chronicle “Tale of Bygone Years” and is apparently derived from Finno-Ugric words pera ma , meaning "distant land." In the medieval period "Perm" designated territory in the northern Urals controlled by the economic power of Novgorod, whose hunters and traders reaped the bounty of its valuable furs. By the 17th century, much of the area belonged to the vast Stroganov holdings in the northern Urals.

Founded for industry          

The settlement of Perm originated in the early 18th century as part of the quest by Peter the Great to exploit ore deposits in the Ural Mountains. These raw materials provided secure sources of essential industrial-grade metals needed above all for the army. 

The guiding force in developing this area was Vasily Tatishchev (1686-1750), one of Russia's early professional historians. A scholar with a gift for practical activity, Tatishchev admired Peter the Great and was an influential proponent of the central role of autocrat and state in Russian history. 

During the 1720s, Tatishchev established settlements at mines, smelters, and metal-working plants throughout the Urals, including Yekaterinburg. In 1720, he chose the 17th-century village of Yegoshikha, located near the small Yegoshikha River, a tributary of the Kama. The stream is hardly visible in the ravine in the foreground of Prokudin-Gorsky’s rich panoramas.

Construction began on the main Yegoshikha factory on May 4, 1723, which is considered Perm’s founding date. The name “Perm,” however, was officially adopted only in 1781 after a command by Catherine the Great that transformed the factory settlement into an administrative center for the Urals. 

Because of its favorable location within the Volga River basin, Perm during the 19th century developed into a transportation center for salt and other minerals, ​as well as ​metal ore​ and the products of metal factories throughout the western Ural Mountains. In 1846 regular steamboat service appeared on the Kama. 

Expansion and development

Much of Perm burned during a fire in 1842, but the town quickly recovered. In 1863, Perm was included in the main Siberian highway, and in 1878, construction was completed on the first phase of the Urals Railroad from Perm to Ekaterinburg, part of a railroad construction boom that culminated in the early 20th century with the completion of the TransSiberian Railway. 

Perm’s growth at the turn of the 20th century was reflected in Prokudin-Gorsky’s overviews of the central city, with its belching smokestacks. Despite sweeping changes in the century following Prokudin-Gorsky’s visit, several of the buildings captured in his photographs remain. 

A historical record in images

The photograph richest in detail is a panoramic view taken due west from the city hillocks located to the east of the central district. On the far right is Monastery Street with its dominant landmark, the Transfiguration Cathedral, visible through the haze of industrial smoke. This street links a series of monuments surveyed in my previous Perm article . 

The next thoroughfare to the left was Trading (now Soviet) Street. Its main landmark (apart from a belching smokestack) is the bell tower and cupolas of the Church of St. Nicholas, built in 1895-99 to commemorate the marriage of soon-to-be-emperor Nicholas and Alexandra in 1894. The church was attached to the large Mariinsky Women’s High School.

With the establishment of Soviet power, the St. Nicholas bell tower and cupolas were demolished, and the entire building was converted for the use of the Agriculture Academy (now a university). My photographs from 1999 reveal that most of the basic red brick structure has survived. 

Dimly visible just beyond is the red brick watch tower of the central Perm fire station. Completed in 1883, the tower and its surrounding depot are still maintained in their original function, as my 1999 photograph shows. 

Central fire station & watchtower. August 1999

In the center of Prokudin-Gorsky’s photograph is a boulevard whose segments were called Great Nobility Street and Peter-Paul Street, the latter named after the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul, a sliver of whose bell tower is at the photograph’s right edge. Built in 1757-64, it is the oldest surviving brick church in Perm. I have included my black-and-white photograph of the cathedral. (Its bell tower, destroyed in the Soviet period, has not yet been rebuilt.) Renamed Communist Street during the Soviet period, the entire boulevard is now called Peter-Paul Street.

On the left of Prokudin-Gorsky’s panorama is Intercession (now Lenin) Street. In the distance is the bell tower steeple and dome of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin (Lenin Street 48), built with merchant donations over a long period from 1787 to 1816.

This second brick church in Perm was closed in 1928, its bell tower and cupolas were demolished and the structure was converted into a student dormitory. My photograph from 2014 shows the restored church without the bell tower, which was rebuilt at the end of the year.

On the far left, two small green domes indicate the Church of St. Mary Magdalene (Lenin Street 11), built in a neoclassical style in 1889-92 as part of a large orphanage. Prokudin-Gorsky’s took two close views that are especially valuable in view of the structure’s subsequent history. In the 1930s the cupola and bell tower were demolished, and a third story was added — as seen in my 1999 photograph. The building now serves as the Institute of Ecology and Genetics.

Revelations of past splendor

A bit farther down the same block is the splendid Gribushin mansion, hidden by the trees in Prokudin-Gorsky’s photograph. Originally built in 1895-97, the house was rebuilt in 1905 in a lavish baroque manner for the merchant Sergey Gribushin. Referred to in Boris Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago as the "house with statues" (in the town of “Yuriatin”), the mansion serves as the headquarters of the Urals Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

And if Prokudin-Gorsky and his assistants had maneuvered his bulky camera just three more blocks, to the intersection of Siberia and Ascension (now Lunacharsky) Streets, they would have photographed two more cultural monuments. On one side is the elegant neoclassical building of the Nobility Assembly, built by Ivan Sviyazev in 1832-37.

On the other side of Siberia Street is the house built in 1852 and acquired in 1862 by Pavel Diaghilev, grandfather of the renowned impresario Serge Diaghilev, who spent much of his childhood there.

Prokudin-Gorsky’s photographs of pre-revolutionary Perm convey an invaluable sense of a provincial Russian city, with its mixture of traditional architecture and rapid industrial expansion. These richly detailed views of the city’s neighborhoods have become a unique record of a historic milieu that fades with each passing year. 

In the early 20th century the Russian photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky devised a complex process for color photography. Between 1903 and 1916 he traveled through the Russian Empire and took over 2,000 photographs with the process, which involved three exposures on a glass plate. In August 1918, he left Russia and ultimately resettled in France where he was reunited with a large part of his collection of glass negatives, as well as 13 albums of contact prints. After his death in Paris in 1944, his heirs sold the collection to the Library of Congress. In the early 21st century the Library digitized the Prokudin-Gorsky Collection and made it freely available to the global public. A few Russian websites now have versions of the collection. In 1986 the architectural historian and photographer William Brumfield organized the first exhibit of Prokudin-Gorsky photographs at the Library of Congress. Over a period of work in Russia beginning in 1970, Brumfield has photographed most of the sites visited by Prokudin-Gorsky. This series of articles juxtaposes Prokudin-Gorsky’s views of architectural monuments with photographs taken by Brumfield decades later.

NANOMESH NEO: Ensures a stronger more flexible frame, while increased shaft flex creates maximum power.

AERO+BOX FRAME: A combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel.

ISOMETRIC™: Square shaped head increases the size of your sweet spot by optimising the intersection of the main and cross strings.

ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM: 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.

SOLID FEEL CORE: Reduces vibrations traveling down the shaft for improved comfort.

ENERGY BOOST CAP: Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.

EXTRA SLIM SHAFT: Cutting edge NANOMETRIC carbon technology is used to produce an ultra-thin, ultra-tough, aerodynamic shaft, created for a stronger and more intense shot.

REXIS SHAFT: A high-performance shaft precisely designed with an original Yonex moulding technique. Improves shot performance and dominates the game.

BUILT IN T-JOINT: The lightweight T-Joint increases stability of the shuttle on the strings, maximizing power and control.

Badminton racket grips/sizes should be big enough so that when holding the handle correctly (like shaking someone’s hand), the tip of your ring finger shouldn't touch your palm.

These days, most manufacturers are making rackets in a single size, so if you find the grip is too thin then you could apply an overgrip to the handle until you find a grip size/weight that you’re comfortable with.

Badminton racket sizes made simple:

3u5 = 85-89g racket weight, 83mm circumferential grip size.

4u5 = 80-84g racket weight, 83mm circumferential grip size.
