The pink-and-white Ability version of the entry-level 02 Astrox, listed on Yonex's Taiwan site beside the Clear and Feel. A very soft shaft and head-heavy balance make clears and smashes easy for newer players, and the frame is light enough for school and club use.
- Soft shaft gives easy depth on clears for players still building their swing
- Head-heavy balance adds free power
- Light 4U weight and low price
- Basic graphite build lacks precision on fast, flat exchanges
- Very soft shaft twists under a hard, fast swing
- Not sold by Yonex UK (only the Clear and Feel are)
Where to buy
