Astrox 100 VA Tour: the Dark Olive, Taiwan-made middle of Axelsen’s collection
The Dark Olive racquet in Axelsen’s collection
The Astrox 100 VA Tour is the middle of the three racquets in the Viktor Axelsen Collection, the signature line Yonex announced at the 2025 All England and launched worldwide on September 26, 2025. It is the only one of the three in Dark Olive; the Japan-made ZZ VA and the VA Game share Grayish Beige. All three carry Axelsen’s VA logo and signature, which Yonex Japan described as the collection’s common design on a green-based special finish. It is the VA version of the Taiwan-made Astrox 100 Tour, the tier between the ZZ and the Game. Yonex gave it its own item codes, AX100VAT on its global site and AX100TVA in Japan, and its global spec sheet adds Volume Cut Resin to the frame. The collection’s story, and Axelsen’s record on the ZZ, are told on the Astrox 100 ZZ VA page.
The 100 Tour’s build, with Volume Cut Resin listed
Yonex’s release of March 18, 2025 named a single racquet, the “ASTROX 100 VA Edition,” designed with Axelsen’s insights; it did not name a Tour or a Game. Yonex’s global page lists a frame of HM Graphite, Nanomesh Neo, Volume Cut Resin and tungsten, an HM Graphite and Namd shaft, a built-in T-joint and a frame 10 mm longer than standard. The standard Tour’s frame on the same site has no Volume Cut Resin, and Yonex gives the material no description. Yonex Japan’s shop lists the frame as high-modulus carbon, Nanomesh Neo and tungsten, without it, and the shaft as high-modulus carbon and Namd. It also names the Rexis Shaft, which it says uses the same or equivalent carbon as top models such as the Pro, with matched flex and torque, and Solid Feel Core, a foam filling inside the frame that cuts vibration. Yonex’s pages disagree on the flex: the global page lists it as Stiff, Yonex USA as Extra Stiff, and Yonex Japan gives no rating.
No documented player
No Yonex source shows Axelsen or any other professional playing the VA Tour. 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, whose page tells that story. Axelsen retired on April 15, 2026, about seven months after the collection went on sale. Yonex Japan’s shop rates the VA Tour for advanced men and women only, and Yonex USA describes it as a racquet for intermediate to advanced players.
One finish beside five other Astrox 100s
Yonex lists one finish, Dark Olive (color 328 in its Japanese and US codes), 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, and Yonex USA lists the 4U with a G5 grip, unstrung. Its two VA siblings have their own pages: the ZZ VA, made in Japan and rated Extra Stiff, and the medium-flex VA Game, both in Grayish Beige. The standard Astrox 100 Tour 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 Tour.
In production, with a resale record
The VA Tour 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 29, 2025 at $220, unstrung. Yonex did not call the VA Tour limited or numbered, and the letter from Axelsen in the first 10,000 racquets was promised for the ZZ VA only. Resale is about pre-owned copies: verified sales so far come from Asia resale and are almost all pre-owned, and the price panel above lists them, with new and pre-owned valued separately.
Mix-ups inside the collection
No counterfeit specific to the VA Tour has been documented, and Yonex publishes no VA-specific guidance beyond its general warnings about counterfeits sold online. The practical risk is confusion. All three VA racquets carry the Astrox 100 name, the VA logo and Axelsen’s signature, and the standard Tour shares the model name in a different finish. Spec sheets add noise. Yonex’s own pages disagree on the flex and list Volume Cut Resin only on the global site, so a listing that quotes either version may simply have copied a different Yonex page. A seller’s spec text proves little on its own; the finish, the model name and the country marking identify the racquet.
A signature finish on a production frame
Like the ZZ VA, the VA Tour is a signature finish on an existing Yonex frame rather than a new racquet, and it is the only Dark Olive model in Axelsen’s collection. Yonex has published no production end for it. If it is discontinued, its interest to collectors would rest on the link to Axelsen, who retired in April 2026, and on that finish. For now it is a current racquet sold new beside the standard Tour, and its place in the Astrox 100 story is as the middle tier of the collection Yonex dressed for Axelsen at the close of his career.
Check the finish and the name first. The VA Tour is Dark Olive with Axelsen’s VA logo and signature; Yonex names it ASTROX 100VA TOUR, item code AX100VAT (AX100TVA in Japan, color 328). Yonex Japan lists it as made in Taiwan. A VA racquet marked Japan is the ZZ VA, a Grayish Beige one is the ZZ VA or the VA Game, and a Kurenai one is the standard Tour. Yonex offers 4U (average 83 g, grips 5–6) and 3U (average 88 g, grips 4–6), and the frame is 10 mm longer than standard. 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 Tour, in the collection’s only Dark Olive finish. For a player it is a new racquet sold at retail. For a collector, its interest is the Axelsen name, which comes from the collection rather than from his use. Buy on condition and completeness: ask for the case and for photos of the hologram, the weight label and the frame. Treat claims that Axelsen played it, or that it is limited or numbered, as unsupported, and don’t read a listed flex as proof either way.
