Racquet Finder Australia — Find Your Perfect Match
Not sure which Yonex racquet is right for you? Answer three simple questions and we'll point you straight to it. Every racquet below is genuine Yonex, pre-strung, and dispatched from Australia.
Step 1 — What's Your Level?
🏸 Never played before / just starting out
You want something lightweight, forgiving, and easy to swing. Technique doesn't matter yet — the racquet should do the work for you.
- Starting with a partner? → grab two Yonex GR 303i singles — the most cost-effective way to kit out two players, ready to play out of the box
- Want your own first racket? → the Yonex GR 303i is a forgiving, easy-to-swing aluminium frame, or the Yonex Nanoray Light 18i is ultra-lightweight and ideal for adults and juniors
- Want a graphite frame you won't outgrow as fast? → the Yonex Astrox Lite 27i and Astrox Lite 43i are light, graphite, and beginner-friendly but reward improving technique
- Beginner with an aggressive, attacking style? → the Yonex Astrox Attack 9 or Astrox Attack 10 DG — head-heavy graphite built for smash power from day one
🏃 Playing regularly / improving
You've got the basics down. Your clears are landing, your serve is consistent, and you want a racquet that rewards better technique with more power, speed, or control.
- All-round player? → Yonex Arcsaber 7 Play or Nanoray 72 Light — balanced frames that do a bit of everything
- Control and placement? → Yonex ArcSaber 11 Play — even balance, precision over power
- Speed and net play? → Yonex Nanoflare Speed 7 or Nanoflare 700 Play — head-light and fast, built for quick rallies
- Power and attacking play? → Astrox 77 Play, Astrox 99 Play, or the Voltric Lite 40i — head-heavy frames that add weight behind your smash
🔥 Serious / competitive
You play weekly or in competition and know your style. These are the top-tier frames in our range, engineered for players who can put them to work.
- Explosive attack: → Astrox 99 Game and Astrox 100 Game VA — premium head-heavy power frames
- Maximum speed: → Nanoflare 1000 Play and Nanoflare 800 Play — stiff shafts and enhanced repulsion for lightning-fast play
- Doubles power: → Astrox 88 Play — head-heavy control built for the front-and-back doubles game
