Yonex Astrox Lite 45i Badminton Racquet

Attack Built on Recovery

The Yonex Astrox Lite 45i brings the Astrox attacking philosophy into an ultra-light 5U frame. Nanomesh Neo lets the shaft flex further and snap back faster, while the Rotational Generator System balances weight across the grip, joint and frame top so the racket settles quickly between shots — letting you go from defending to attacking in a single rally.

Key Features

• Ultra-light 5U frame (avg. 78 g) for fast handling with minimal strain
• Head-heavy balance delivers leverage for steep, committed smashes
• Nanomesh Neo builds a frame that is both stronger and more flexible for greater repulsion
• Rotational Generator System speeds up recovery between shots
• Aero+Box Frame blends a fast swing with a solid hitting feel
• Isometric head shape expands the sweet spot by around 7%
• Built-in T-Joint eliminates head twist for more accurate contact
• Strings up to 30 lbs for a crisper, more controlled string bed

Best For

Intermediate players developing an aggressive style who want Astrox attacking character without the weight of a full-size frame. Suits both singles rear-court play and doubles attacking rotations.
