Yonex Astrox Attack 9 Badminton Racket

Yonex Astrox Attack 9 Badminton Racket

Smashes that sound like a gunshot shouldn't cost a fortune. The Yonex Astrox Attack 9 is a "Made in India" revolution, bringing the legendary Astrox power to a budget-friendly price point. Unlike aluminium rackets that warp under pressure, this is a 100% Graphite weapon designed for intermediate players who want to dominate the rear court.

With the ability to withstand high string tension (up to 32 lbs) and a Head Heavy balance, this racket is the perfect upgrade from the Muscle Power or GR series.

Why Buy the Yonex Astrox Attack 9?

• High Tension Support (32 Lbs): Most rackets under ₹2000 are limited to 24-26 lbs. The Astrox Attack 9 is built to withstand tougher conditions. Its reinforced graphite frame allows you to string tight for that crisp, professional hitting sound and superior control.
• Rotational Generator System: Just like the high-end Astrox 100ZZ, this racket uses Yonex's signature weight distribution tech. By counterbalancing the head, T-joint, and handle, it gives you the power of a sledgehammer but the recovery speed of a whip.
• Hi-Flex Shaft for Easy Power: You don't need the arm strength of Lin Dan to use this. The flexible shaft bends on impact and snaps back vigorously, adding extra power to your clears and smashes even if your technique is still developing.
• Made in India, For India: Developed by Yonex specifically for the Indian market, this model offers the same graphite quality as imported versions but without the import duty costs—giving you the best value for money.

"We often get asked: 'What is the best smashing racket under ₹2000?' The Astrox Attack 9 is the answer. It feels more solid than the Astrox Lite 21/27 series and handles high tension much better. If you are an aggressive player on a budget, this is the safest and strongest choice."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the Yonex Astrox Attack 9 full graphite?

A: Yes, absolutely. Unlike the Yonex GR or ZR series which are aluminium/alloy, the Astrox Attack 9 is made of 100% Graphite. This makes it lighter, stronger, and better at absorbing vibration.

Q: Can I string this racket at 32 lbs?

A: Yes, the frame is rated to handle high tension up to 32 lbs. However, for intermediate players, we recommend a tension of 24-26 lbs to get the best balance of power and durability. You can select your preferred tension in our "Custom Stringing" option above.

Q: Is this racket suitable for doubles?

A: Yes. At 4U (80g), it is light enough for quick defense in doubles, while the head-heavy balance ensures you still have enough power for smashes from the back court.
