      Kaori （Experience：11-20 years） A racket with great all-round balance.

      I recently bought the YONEX ASTROX 77. When I used it, compared to my previous racket, I could clearly feel more power going into my smashes, and the feel is outstanding. Both the maneuverability and the swing feel great. In rallies it's maneuverable, so I can return the shuttle to the opponent's court without getting tired. I thought it was perfect for me.

      Ai-chan （Experience：2-3 years） YONEX, as expected

      This racket isn't cheap, but its performance is good too. The swing, the control, every aspect is outstanding. Thanks to this racket I can win matches, and above all, its durability is excellent. I want to keep using YONEX rackets from now on.

      Jessica （Experience：4-5 years） This racket is amazing!

      I wanted a high-performance racket, and when I looked online, people said this one was good, so I gave it a try. It's very easy to swing, and really good smashes go to great spots. Going to practice with this racket has become something I look forward to.

      Aikawa （Experience：4-5 years） My smash speed went up!

      I told the shop staff I wanted a racket that makes smashing easy, and they recommended the ASTROX 77. My impression after actually hitting with it is that it's light, so it's really easy to swing. Because it's light and easy to swing, my smash speed has gone up compared to before. I'm satisfied with the maneuverability too, and it's a racket with high control.

      karz （Experience：More than 20 years） An easy-to-use racket.

      I've played badminton as a hobby for about 30 years, since my junior high school club, and I've been buying rackets for a long time; every time I buy one, I'm amazed at how much racket performance has improved. The one I'm using now is the YONEX ASTROX 77. I was torn between MIZUNO and Wilson, but I think buying this was the right call. My first impression was that it really makes the shuttle fly, and that it's light with very good flex, so it's easy to use. Smashes were sharp, and control was good too. This racket distributes weight in three places, the top of the frame, the joint, and the end of the grip, so I think it feels light. It's a very easy-to-use racket.

      custard （Experience：11-20 years） You can't feel the weight!!

      My first impression was simply that it's a racket where you don't feel the weight. The balance should lean head-heavy, yet it feels almost like even balance, and the maneuverability is good. As advertised, consecutive smashes are easy to hit, and personally I found smash receives and drives in doubles very easy. The way the shaft flexes may take some getting used to, but other than that it has no particular quirks, and I think it's a racket anyone can handle easily, whether doubles or singles, and whether or not you're a hard hitter.

      Nama Hamu Ｚ （Experience：Less than a year） An easy-to-use racket even for beginners!

      At first I wondered whether I could really handle such a good racket, but when I used it, I was surprised by the flexible shaft, the weight, and how easy it is to swing. And this is just my personal impression, but I think this racket is very similar to the VOLTRIC 70 E-TUNE.
