    • Matured

      Matured （Experience：More than 20 years） A downgraded 88S

      I've tried the whole ASTROX series.
      I bought and used the 77 in 4U.
      To put it nicely, it's an all-round racket with no quirks and no weak points.
      To put it badly, it's a racket with no standout feature (strength).
      It's an intermediate racket that's basically a downgraded version of the advanced 88S, so I guess that can't be helped.
      It doesn't feel bad to use, but something felt missing.

    • I'm the captain of the badminton club

      I'm the captain of the badminton club （Experience：2-3 years） A racket anyone can use consistently

      I started in junior high. First I had a NANORAY 180, then a DUORA 7, and then an ASTROX 77. I still can't forget how impressed I was when I hit a drive with it after borrowing it from an upperclassman. My impression was that it's very easy to hit with and easy to react to the next shot. Smashes are perfectly fine too; even a weak player like me could hit fairly fast ones. Also, the shuttle seems to drop more when you relax a little rather than swinging all out, so I'd say it's for all-rounders.

    • Datsu

      Datsu （Experience：4-5 years） Easy to use

      It is quite easy to use, even within the ASTROX series. Some of the weight is distributed to the grip, so even though it is head-heavy, you do not feel the weight much. The shaft also flexes quite a bit, so you can send clears far with little power. It is a little more head-heavy than the 88S, so I think it is easy to use in singles too.

    • Badminton Uncle

      Badminton Uncle Easy to use overall

      This racket is easy to use in every event. The weight distribution is very good, and I hardly felt any strain. The feel is on the firmer side, so it was easy to hit hard.

    • No. 2

      No. 2 （Experience：6-10 years） An easy racket that doesn't need power

      I only play doubles, so this is a review of how it feels in doubles. I recommend it to people who like a head with a fair amount of weight that isn't too stiff. The head is heavy, so smashes travel well to some extent, and since it isn't too stiff, pushes, drives, and receives feel easy even when I'm not in great form. I use the 4U, so it's light and I can make finer plays too. The repulsion is good too

    • Kanabun

      Kanabun （Experience：11-20 years） Easy to use, without feeling head-heavy

      I use the 4U. It doesn't feel that heavy when you hold it, so light that you doubt whether it's really head-heavy. Maneuverability is not much different from the DUORA 7, so it was very easy to use. Overhead shots of course, and also receives, lobs, drives and so on are easy to return thanks to the head weight. It's designed to feel even less head-heavy than the VOLTRIC 70 E-TUNE, and I felt the evolution of technology.

    • Dying to Play Badminton

      Dying to Play Badminton （Experience：2-3 years） A racket I'd recommend to all-rounders❗

      I use the 4U5. This racket leans head-heavy and is an offensive racket, but it isn't too heavy, so you can switch to defense instantly. Thanks to the Rotational Generator System, which divides the weight into three parts, it doesn't feel that head-heavy. You can hit smashes in succession, and control is solid, so it's an honest racket that lets you hit exactly as you intend. I currently own the ASTROX 55, 77, and 88S from the ASTROX series, and the ASTROX 77 is the best one. It handles fine in both doubles and singles, and it's a racket that brings out a tenacious style of play. If you find this racket heavy, I recommend the ASTROX 55. It's a racket with wonderful power that I can't fully describe here, so I highly recommend buying it❗
