Astrox 22 LT: Geoffrey's review
The Astrox 22 LT is a unique racket in the shop: it weighs only 63g. When you pick it up for the first time, it feels like you're holding nothing at all.
What you'll feel
Incredible swing speed: you wind up and strike very quickly, giving you more time on every shuttlecock. It is head-heavy and medium-stiff, so despite its featherweight, your shots remain responsive. And during a long session, your arm and shoulder will thank you.
Who is it for?
Experienced players who want speed, players who have minor arm pain and are looking for a lightweight racket, and anyone who finds classic rackets too heavy.
My advice
Since it is very light, a moderate tension between 9.5 and 10.5 kg helps it maintain power. The BG65 Titanium is a good choice.
You choose your string, your tension, the color of your overgrip, and even your name on the shaft directly above: I prepare it in the workshop and it ships ready to play.
