Yonex Astrel 105 2023

Description

Introducing the 2023 Astrel 105! Defined by its user-friendly combination of speed, comfort, and power, this racquet will give beginners and early intermediates the needed maneuverability to address the ball with confidence. It comes with a forgiving 105in² head, making it easier to achieve clean contact on grounds and volleys. Compared to the previous generation, this update features a more open string pattern, making achieving effective depth and bringing the ball down on target easier. It also sports a host of features that elevate performance and feel. First, oval-shaped grommets enable enhanced string movement, resulting in improved ball pocketing and spin. Additionally, the 2G-NAMD Speed material technology optimizes racquet flex during impact, delivering greater energy transfer to the ball. To help soften harsh vibrations, the Astrel 105 comes with a Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle. The signature technology is Yonex's Isometric head shape, a time-tested design that offers a larger sweetspot compared to conventionally shaped equivalents. Ultimately, with some impressive tweaks to the feel and performance, Yonex has created a very user-friendly option for beginners and early intermediate players.
