Yonex ASTREL 120 3rd Gen Tennis Racquet

The Yonex ASTREL 120 (3rd Generation) is an oversized, ultra-lightweight performance racquet designed specifically for recreational players, beginners, and doubles specialists who prioritize effortless power and maximum arm comfort.

Released as part of the 2024 update to the Astrel line, it features several high-end technologies typical of Yonex's professional frames but tuned for a much more forgiving experience.

Core Technologies 

• Isometric™ Head Shape: Yonex’s signature square-shaped frame increases the sweet spot by 7%, providing more consistency on off-center hits—a huge benefit on a 120 sq. in. head.
• 2G-Namd™ Speed: A specialized graphite material that improves "snapback." It allows the frame to flex and quickly return to its original shape, adding "pop" to your shots without requiring a massive swing.
• Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM): Integrated into the handle, this stretchy mesh filters out approximately 30% of unwanted vibrations, making it one of the most arm-friendly racquets on the market.
• New Grommet Design: Features oval-shaped grommets on the top and trumpet-shaped grommets on the sides to increase string movement, which aids in ball pocketing and generating spin.

Who is this for? 

• This racquet is best suited for players with short, compact swings. Because it is head-heavy and has a massive 120-inch head, the racquet does most of the work for you. It’s a popular choice for:
• Doubles Players: Excellent for quick volleys and extra reach at the net.
• Senior Players: Ideal for maintaining pace and depth with less physical strain.
• Beginners: The large sweet spot reduces frustration by providing power even on "mishits."
