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

It is slightly head heavy so it gives best of both defensive front court play and stacking back court play, it's unexplainable it supports 30 lbs but at yonex complex they say we stung not more than 27lbson this racket so I got it 26lbs it's too light so improves defense and drops and due to slightly head heaviness it helps smashes I got bg65 installed for shuttle gripping and power best combo, it's not as flexible as advertised but it's better this way cause too flexable rackets like predator 79 by hndrd just makes drops front court worse but due to enough flex it helps smashes, it's frame shape is better most rackets in market and is slimer than hndrd predator and more aerodynamic, stock strings are aroun 18-20lbs which I went and asked at yonex complex. Best value for money Nice colour, and is durable it's paint gets removed even with slight contact with concrete because I play in concrete court, and I played with small racket earlier so adapting to this, made it fall clash and drop too much paint gets off easily but otherwise it's durable. LOVED IT

Worth for amount.

Raquets were good as specified. No Complaints. This is my 3rd time I am buying this racquet and loving it. Value for Money. Good string quality. Good for beginners and next level. Highly recommend

Good for smashes. Not an expert but an amateur and late to start. Considering this experience best racket under budget.

Extremely disappointed with the retailer's packaging and quality control. I ordered a Yonex Astrox Lite 27i, expecting it to arrive safely, but the racket was delivered without any proper protective box. The seller simply wrapped it in an Amazon plastic cover, which is completely unacceptable for a delicate sports item like a badminton racket. As a result, the racket arrived damaged, with visible paint chips/scratches on the shaft and damage near the cone/handle area. A graphite badminton racket can also develop internal structural damage from poor handling, even if it's not immediately visible. This is not what I expect when paying nearly ₹1,900 for a branded Yonex racket. The retailer showed complete negligence in packaging. Any responsible seller knows that badminton rackets should be shipped in a rigid cardboard box or protective tube, not just a plastic wrapper. I had no choice but to return the product. I strongly advise buyers to avoid purchasing from this retailer unless they improve their packaging standards. The product itself may be genuine, but the seller's careless packaging ruined the entire experience.

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

I'll give you for because the racket cover is quality is very cheap and racket is so good no offence so that but the cover is totally different from the picture and totally different quality of the picture it is a cheap quality like a cloth and from outside there was a coating or leather the cover is not good and not satisfied for that

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.

Arrived on time, excellent quality and fits the description

Very good quality. It arrived exactly as pictured, and it’s even nicer because it comes with its own bag.

Excellent badminton racket! It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and has great balance. The build quality feels premium, and it’s perfect for both beginners and regular players. Very satisfied with the purchase. Highly recommended!
