WEIGHT 3U vs 4U — which is right for you?
The Astrox 99 Pro is now available in both 3U and 4U
4U (80–84g) — Faster racket handling, easier maneuverability, and quicker recovery between shots. Preferred by players who value swing speed and fast exchanges alongside power.
3U (85–89g) — More hitting momentum and stability through the swing. Preferred by players who want heavier smash feel and stronger rear-court presence. Supports up to 29 lbs stringing tension.

TECHNOLOGIES Frame & shaft technologies
STRINGS Recommended string pairings
0.68mm with rigid Vectran fibers for direct raw power transfer. Pairs with the AX99 Pro’s head-heavy frame to maximize smash weight and rear-court pressure. BW starting recommendation: 25–26 lbs.
0.65mm with instant explosive repulsion. Softens the AX99 Pro’s stiff feel and adds a livelier string bed for players who want faster shuttle speed alongside the frame’s power character.
0.68mm with high repulsion, solid feel, and strong durability. Retains power on repeated hard smashes and holds tension well — ideal for aggressive players who break strings frequently.
BW Recommendation: Start with BG80 Power at 25–26 lbs for the best balance of smash weight, control, and durability on the AX99 Pro.
