Yonex Astrel 105 2023

Introducing the Yonex Astrel 105 2023! Defined by its user-friendly combination of speed, comfort, and power, this racquet will give beginners and early intermediate players the needed maneuverability to address the ball with confidence. It comes with a forgiving 105in head size, making it easier to achieve clean contact on groundies and volleys. Compared to the previous generation, this update features a more open string pattern, making it easier to achieve effective depth and bring the ball down on target. 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.
Ultimately, with some impressive tweaks to the feel and performance, Yonex has created a very user-friendly option for beginners and early intermediate tennis players.
