Yonex Astrox Lite 37i

The Yonex Astrox Lite 37i is a premium Japanese-engineered badminton racquet crafted for players who refuse to compromise between speed and power. Part of the prestigious Astrox iSeries, this racquet features a 5U ultra-lightweight build (78g) combined with a head-heavy balance — giving you the agility needed for rapid defensive blocks and the momentum required for steep, aggressive smashes.

Built with High-Modulus Graphite frame and shaft enhanced by Nanomesh Neo technology, the Astrox Lite 37i is a powerhouse that can withstand string tensions up to 30 lbs, providing the crisp feel and control typically reserved for professional-grade gear. The Hi-Flex shaft ensures a quicker take-back and more fluid swing — so intermediate players can generate explosive power without requiring aggressive wrist technique.

Whether you're dominating the back court with steep smashes, driving hard from mid-court, or transitioning rapidly to defensive blocks at the net, the Astrox Lite 37i keeps up with every intention. Its head-heavy balance point (310mm) amplifies smash power and steep angles, while the Aero+Box Frame slashes through air resistance to accelerate head speed on every stroke.

Strung and ready to play, this racquet is the ideal upgrade for any intermediate player serious about adding explosive power to their attacking game — without sacrificing the speed and manoeuvrability they rely on.
