Who Should Choose This Racquet?
Built for advanced attacking players who rely on the smash to win points. The extra-stiff shaft needs a fast, technically sound swing. It suits singles attackers and doubles rear-court players. Developing players may find a medium-flex option such as the Astrox 77 Pro easier to use.
Specialisation
The 99 Pro combines Namd, Tungsten, a Power-Assist Bumper and Volume Cut Resin in a head-heavy layout. The Extra Slim Shaft lowers drag while the extra-stiff flex delivers direct energy transfer. The Aero+ Box Frame keeps the head stable on off-centre hits.
