By applying counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly with a rapid succession. Available in the Astrox Series Racket.
The weight distribution enable the player to generate 2.3° Steeper Smash Angle. |
A new dimension graphite, NAMD, is created by attaching nano material directly to the graphite fibre to produce a greatly improved adhesion of the graphite fibre and resin. This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttlecock.
On high speed video smash comparision, the racket with NAMD shaft makes a longer stroke compare to normal shaft. The result is shuttlecock speed is increased by 7.1%.

Hi!
Why Atrox tour 9100 is mainly available in Indian Subcontinent and it’s not listed in any of the racket performance charts? Is it a substandard cheap racket which cannot be compared with good ones?
Hi Rohitha,
Astrox Tour 9100 is a limited edition racket only availble in countries under the distribution of Sunrise’s companies.
Hope this helps…
