      ylnnnn 3366 （Experience：4-5 years） A well-balanced new series

      It was the first racket in the ASTROX series and the newest at the time, so I was curious and tried it. I thought it was easy to use in every respect. It's excellent for attacking shots (smash, push, drive) and defense too, and I found it very easy to use. Recommended for all-rounders.

      harro 123 A racket that's easy to smash with

      I thought it was an attack-oriented racket that makes smashing easy. Consecutive smashes are easy too, and I think it can be used for both singles and doubles.

      I'd say there's nothing more to ask for.
      Control
      You can put proper spin on the shuttle, so you can place your shots
      Power shots
      With smashes, I felt they were really fast right from the very first one. I use it in doubles, and I can hit good smashes from anywhere and adjust the height of my smashes just as I want.
      Swing speed
      Maybe thanks to the new weight distribution this time, I can hit strong drives quite easily when the rally gets low
      Maneuverability
      Since it's a 7 series racket, there's nothing more to ask for here
      Overall
      With past 7 series rackets, when I smashed, it felt like the power escaped as the shuttle got closer to the floor, but this ASTROX is different from that; I could hit powerful smashes at my opponent and really feel that I was putting pressure on them.

    • Kan

      Kan （Experience：11-20 years） A racket that handles everything smoothly

      It's a head-heavy racket in the 7 range, so I think it's a racket that handles just about everything smoothly. (The 4U, that is)

      I really feel the flex when using it, so combined with the weight of the head, I think the stiffness is set up to make good use of its characteristics.
      Overhead shots go without saying.
      That said, the head isn't that heavy, so with the 4U you can easily keep up with fast exchanges. If you play singles only, it might be worth considering the 3U.
      As for the Rotational Generator System that YONEX promotes, it feels like the racket swings through nicely.
      My impression was less that the swing itself gets faster and more that the follow-through comes through a little quicker.

      The frame is also very rigid, so it's nice that it can handle high tension.

    • murara3318

      murara3318 （Experience：11-20 years） Suited to singles

      I think this racket shows its strength in singles more than in the fast rallies of doubles. The feel on smashes is quite good, and it lets you make the most of your strengths, whether that's swing speed, power or speed. It's not that heavy either, so I recommend it to people who want to improve their performance with a good balance of attack and defense.

      Badoko （Experience：2-3 years） An easy-to-use racket

      I bought two, in yellow and blue. They have the same specs, but the blue one feels slightly heavier. The feel is pleasant and the control goes where I aim. I think it's an easy racket to use for everyone from adults to kids playing at junior level.

      Apple （Experience：2-3 years） An easy-to-use racket

      I'm using the ASTROX 77 in yellow. It's slightly heavier compared to the blue. Even though it's head-heavy, you don't really feel the weight much, and it's easy to swing. Maneuverability is no problem either. The color scheme looks cool too, so using it gets me pumped up.
