Astrox 100 VA Game: Axelsen’s signature finish on the medium-flex Astrox 100
The ZZ VA’s color on a different racquet
The Astrox 100 VA Game is the entry racquet of the Viktor Axelsen Collection, the signature line Yonex announced at the 2025 All England and launched worldwide on September 26, 2025. It wears the same Grayish Beige as the Japan-made ZZ VA, with the same VA logo and Axelsen signature, which Yonex Japan described as the collection’s common design on a green-based special finish. Underneath is a different racquet: the VA version of the Taiwan-made Astrox 100 Game, medium in flex where the ZZ VA is Extra Stiff. Yonex gave it its own item codes, AX100VAG on its global site and AX100GVA in Japan. The collection’s story and Axelsen’s record on the ZZ are told on the Astrox 100 ZZ VA page, and the Dark Olive VA Tour has its own page.
The 100 Game’s build, Nanomesh Neo throughout
Yonex’s release of March 18, 2025 named only one racquet, the “ASTROX 100 VA Edition,” and did not mention a Game or a Tour. Yonex’s global page lists the VA Game’s frame as HM Graphite, Nanomesh Neo, Volume Cut Resin and tungsten, its shaft as HM Graphite and Nanomesh Neo, a built-in T-joint, a medium flex and a frame 10 mm longer than standard. That matches the standard Game on the same site except for Volume Cut Resin, which the standard Game’s frame lacks and which Yonex does not describe. Yonex Japan’s shop lists the frame without it, as high-modulus carbon, Nanomesh Neo and tungsten, with the same Nanomesh Neo shaft. Its technology list names Isometric, the Rotational Generator System, the new built-in T-joint and the Aero+Box frame, but not the Rexis Shaft and Solid Feel Core it lists for the VA Tour. Yonex USA’s product text credits the VA Game with Namd graphite, as its text for the standard Game does, but every Yonex specification table gives it a Nanomesh Neo shaft.
No documented player
No Yonex source shows Axelsen or any other professional playing the VA Game. Yonex Japan presented the collection’s racquets as models from the Astrox 100 series he actually used, and the frame documented in his hands is the Astrox 100 ZZ. Axelsen retired on April 15, 2026. Yonex Japan’s shop rates the VA Game best for intermediate men and women and suitable for beginners, leaving the advanced column blank, and Yonex USA pitches it at a doubles specialist or an intermediate singles player.
One finish, sold strung in the US
Yonex lists one finish, Grayish Beige (color 452 in its Japanese and US codes, the same number as the ZZ VA), in 4U (average 83 g, grips 5–6) and 3U (average 88 g, grips 4–6). Yonex recommends 20–28 lb for the 4U and 21–29 lb for the 3U. Yonex Japan sells it as a frame only with a dedicated case. Yonex USA sells it strung, as the “VA ASTROX 100 GAME (STRUNG),” in 4U with a G5 grip, while its VA Tour is sold unstrung. The standard Astrox 100 Game stayed on sale beside it in Kurenai, and Yonex’s Astrox 100 series page lists all six models, the three VA racquets and the standard ZZ, Tour and Game. Yonex lists no other color, limited run or player version of the VA Game.
In production, with a resale record
The VA Game is in current production. Yonex’s global Astrox 100 series page listed it in stock on October 3, 2026, and Yonex Japan’s online shop still carries it, so new examples sell at retail. Yonex USA listed it on September 26, 2025 at $160, strung; the VA Tour’s US launch price is for an unstrung frame, so the two are not like for like. Yonex did not call the VA Game limited or numbered, and the letter from Axelsen in the first 10,000 racquets was promised for the ZZ VA only. Verified sales so far come from Asia resale, mostly pre-owned with a few unused examples; the price panel above lists them, with new and pre-owned valued separately.
A shared color, not a copy
No counterfeit specific to the VA Game has been documented, and Yonex publishes no VA-specific guidance beyond its general warnings about counterfeits sold online. The practical risk is confusion with the ZZ VA. Both are Grayish Beige with the VA logo and signature, and both carry the Astrox 100 name, so a VA Game can be mislisted as the flagship. The shared finish is not a warning sign in itself: the VA Game is a separate Yonex model in the same colors, not an imitation of the ZZ VA. Spec text adds noise. Yonex USA’s copy mentions Namd and only Yonex’s global site lists Volume Cut Resin, so a listing that quotes either may have copied a Yonex page rather than described the racquet in hand.
The way into the collection
The VA Game is a signature finish on an existing Yonex frame rather than a new racquet, and it is the lowest-priced racquet in Axelsen’s collection. Yonex has published no production end. If it is discontinued, its interest to collectors would rest on the Axelsen name and on the Grayish Beige it shares with the ZZ VA. For now it is a current racquet sold new beside the standard Game, and its place in the Astrox 100 story is as the intermediate member of the collection Yonex dressed for Axelsen at the close of his career.
Read the model name before the color. The VA Game is Grayish Beige with Axelsen’s VA logo and signature, like the ZZ VA; Yonex names it ASTROX 100VA GAME, item code AX100VAG (AX100GVA in Japan, color 452). Yonex Japan lists it as made in Taiwan, while the ZZ VA is made in Japan. Yonex rates it medium flex (the ZZ VA is Extra Stiff), lists a Nanomesh Neo shaft, and offers 4U (average 83 g, grips 5–6) and 3U (average 88 g, grips 4–6); the frame is 10 mm longer than standard. Yonex USA sold it strung, in 4U with a G5 grip. Yonex Japan sells it with a dedicated case. Yonex’s own test is the hologram sticker, which should resist lifting with a fingernail, and Yonex advises buying from a reliable retailer.
A current signature edition of the Taiwan-made Astrox 100 Game and the lowest-priced racquet in Axelsen’s collection. For a player it is a medium-flex racquet sold new at retail. For a collector, its interest is the Axelsen name, which comes from the collection rather than from his use. Confirm from the name and the country marking that it is the Game and not the ZZ VA, and buy on condition and completeness: the case, the hologram and the weight label. Treat claims that Axelsen played it, or that it is limited, as unsupported.
