Graphite Badminton Racquet Astrox Lite 27i (G4 , 77 Grams , 30 lbs Tension , Blue)

I recently purchased the Yonex Astrox Lite 27i, and honestly, I’m very impressed. The first feel in hand is unreal — it’s so light that it almost feels like you’re holding nothing. Swing speed is extremely fast, recovery is effortless, and it feels perfect for doubles play. The factory strings are very tight (feels around 29–30 lbs), and because of that, the control and placement are amazing. If you’re someone who prefers accuracy, defense, deception, and precise shot placement over raw power, this racket is a dream. I can place the shuttle exactly where I want — net shots, blocks, pushes, and controlled smashes feel very confident. The balance feels neutral and smooth, not overly head-heavy, which makes it excellent for quick defensive reactions and fast rallies. The overall build quality, finish, and grip are also solid and premium. This racket is absolutely worth the money for intermediate players who play doubles and value control and speed. If you’re a power-only smasher, look elsewhere — but if you’re a controller-type player, this is a fantastic choice. Very happy with the purchase. Highly recommended.

Good and durable bat

Based on your specified variant (G4 grip, ~77 g, blue, up to 30 lbs) here’s how it aligns with different player types: If you are a beginner to intermediate player, or you play mostly doubles or have less swing speed then this racket is a very good fit. The lightweight + head-heavy combo gives you good assist with smashes/clears while being easier on your arm. If you are an advanced player with a very fast swing, strong hits, and you string at very high tension (≥28-30 lbs) for extra control/power, you might find this racket just good, but maybe not “top-tier” compared to stiffer/heavier models. If you often clash frames or hit a lot of steep smashes and strings at high tension with lots of force, you’ll want to be mindful of the durability trade-offs: keep string tension within recommended safe range, use good quality strings, and avoid frequent frame-to-frame collisions. 🔍 Recommendation String tension: Although the specs say up to ~30 lbs, many users suggest keeping it somewhat lower (like ~24-27 lbs) to preserve the frame and get best feel, unless you know what you’re doing. Play style: Great for attacking play (rear court smashes) but also agile enough for front court/doubles because of the light weight. Grip size: G4 is standard; if you have smaller hands you might consider G5 but you already specified G4. Upgrade path: If later you find you want more stiffness, more smash power, and more durability at high tension, you could look into higher-end models in the Astrox line (but that raises cost and may require more strength/technique). important:it says 30 tension which means max tension is 30 and most astrox's are factory set from 24-26 tension and its a even-blanced racket I recommend to buy a frip cuz its in its mothergrip so adding a new grip is good for ur racket cuz if the mothergrip is gone its wothless crap. its original, value for money, can get good performance

The racket is really really good!! I bought G4, 5U variant.. the grip is for bigger hands (G4 variant), so it fits perfectly in my hands. and the weight it 79 grams (since its 5U variant). The default string tension is not half bad, its around 21-22 lbs tension. I got it for 1899, which was quite good. the lightweight racket makes it easier to swing and use powerful shots. it is imply excellent. the build quality is also really good, its really sturdy. I recommend buying this racket, it comes with a good cover... although the packaging it came wasnot very that good or well curated. it came in a wrapper like thing, which could have got the racket easilly damaged, however in my case the racket was in perfect condition. and the bag was also perfect without any scratches or scrapes. i am glad i purchased this item!!

Fantastic product with great packaging. The racket looks and feels premium, and the quality is really good. It is lightweight, smooth in play, and suitable for both practice and match use. Very pleased with this purchase.

The listing clearly stated "Country of Origin: India", but the racket I received is clearly marked "Made in China". This is outright false advertising. I am returning the product immediately. I refuse to support products from China due to their repeated illegal border incursions with India, lack of transparency on the origins of COVID-19 that affected the world, forced labor practices, intellectual property theft, and poor product quality standards. I prefer to buy genuine trustworthy origin products only. Highly disappointed with the seller and Amazon for this misleading information. Do not buy if you care about accurate details and ethical sourcing. The shape has manufacturing defects not balanced.

Very good product and light weight I liked and best seller good for intermediate

It broke within the week in just a normal clash, truly disappointed with the racket material but racket was to good i can easily generate a good power. The weight of the racket is so light in hand it's feel to good but i think the material of the racket not up to the point you can purchase the racket but make sure don't clash it.

My son is very satisfied with it.

Very light indeed.

軽く硬いラケットが安価に手に入る しならないのが好みなら良いかも ラケットが硬い分，次に張り替えるガットの特性が良く出る

Very good.

I was a bit hesitant at first, but this racket really surprised me. It’s very lightweight and great for smashes, easy to handle and doesn’t disappoint. It’s not a pro-level racket, but for the price and Yonex quality, it’s genuinely impressive. Definitely recommend it for beginner to intermediate players.
