Where to find it
Current flagship: Astrox 100 ZZ VA Viktor Axelsen
The successor to the ZZ
The AX-100VAZZ is the current Viktor Axelsen signature flagship — the direct successor to the discontinued AX-100ZZ that drove a 42% price appreciation upon retirement. Extra-stiff flex, head-heavy, Japan-made with NAMD and Volume Cut Resin — the top-specification Astrox available at retail today.
VA branding, ZZ DNA
The VA (Viktor Axelsen) designation continues the head-heavy, extra-stiff platform that made the 100ZZ the most powerful standard Astrox produced. Volume Cut Resin refines weight distribution, NAMD delivers the shaft snap that generates the 100-series' characteristic steep smash angle. The ZZ's collector trajectory has already demonstrated what happens to Axelsen-associated 100-series frames on retirement.
Collector note for current production
The AX-100ZZ retired in 2025 and immediately began appreciating. The AX-100VAZZ is its direct replacement — currently at retail price, with the same player association and platform. Players and collectors watching the ZZ's trajectory have a clear data point on what this frame could become.
