Astrox 22 F: the Black/Lime 63 g Astrox that Yonex USA sold strung, 2021–2025
The strung one of three new 22s
Yonex USA’s 2021 catalog, dated February 2021, marked three light Astrox models numbered 22 as new, each under its own item code. The 22 F (AX22F) was the one sold strung: the catalog lists it as “Astrox 22 F (Strung)” in Black/Lime, a 3F frame averaging 63 g with a G5 grip, at a $170 launch price. The 22 RX and 22 LT have their own pages, and the 22 RX article tells the family story. No earlier Yonex listing of the 22 F has been found. Yonex USA’s 2019 catalog and every capture of Yonex’s Astrox microsite up to July 2020 show the older 2F Astrox 22 but no 22 F, and Yonex’s global store first shows the 22 F in April 2021. It was an export model: Yonex China’s Astrox list carried the 22 and the 22 LT but not the 22 F in any capture from 2019 to 2021, and of the 22 models Yonex Japan sold only the 22 RX, from December 2023; its own 2F Astrox of 2020–2023 was the Navy Blue Astrox 00, a different frame with its own page.
Nanometric DR, and a disputed flex
Yonex USA lists a frame of high-modulus graphite, Nanometric DR and tungsten and a shaft of high-modulus graphite with Nanomesh Neo, joined by a built-in T-joint, in a frame 10 mm longer than standard; Yonex recommends 19–26 lb. Its technology line adds the Isometric head, the Rotational Generator System (which Yonex describes as counterbalanced weight in the grip end, frame top and joint), the Aero+Box frame, a slim shaft and the Control Support Cap. Nanometric DR and the slim shaft are what it has over the 22 LT. Yonex’s own pages disagreed about the flex. Yonex USA’s 2021 and 2024 catalogs say medium. Yonex’s global store said stiff from 2021 until at least February 2023, with a frame row of plain high-modulus graphite and tungsten, and read medium, with Nanometric DR added, from April 2024. Yonex’s Far East site still says stiff. Yonex gives no balance class for the 22 F.
No documented player
No professional player is documented using the Astrox 22 F in Yonex’s reports or staff lists. It was never sold in Japan, whose dated Yonex match reports are the fullest record of who used what.
One color, one code
The 22 F kept one color throughout: Black/Lime in Yonex USA’s 2021 and 2024 catalogs and on Yonex’s global store through July 2025. Its siblings changed, the 22 LT from Dark Green to Black/Red and the 22 RX from Dark Red to Black/Gold, so a Black/Lime 22 of 3F weight is the 22 F. Black/Lime is not unique to it in the Astrox range: Yonex USA’s 2019 and 2021 catalogs also list a Black/Lime Astrox 6, a 4U Hi-Flex racquet. Yonex made no player or limited edition of the 22 F and documents no country of origin for it.
On Yonex’s store until 2025
Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog still listed the 22 F beside the 22 RX and 22 LT, and Yonex’s global store showed it in stock in July 2025. By October 2026 that page had been removed. Yonex’s Far East site still had a page for it. Yonex published no production-end notice, so 2025 is the last year the 22 F is documented on sale new from Yonex’s main store, the same as for the 22 LT. The 22 F was a standard model sold ready to play, and its interest is practical. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Mix-ups more than fakes
No counterfeit report specific to the Astrox 22 F has been found, and Yonex published no guide for it. The real risk is buying the wrong 22. Yonex sold four Astrox models numbered 22, all with frames 10 mm longer than standard, and the 22 LT shares the 22 F’s 3F weight, so a listing that says only “Astrox 22” or gives only a weight does not identify the racquet. Copied specifications are no help either: Yonex’s own pages called the 22 F both stiff and medium, and its first global page, in April 2021, printed the 22 RX’s 2F (68 g) weight. The item code, the color and the weight label together settle it.
Not the bottom of the range
The 22 F was not the entry point to the Astrox line. Yonex USA’s 2021 catalog also carried cheaper Astrox models, such as the FB, 6 and 7, and priced the 22 F above the 3F 22 LT. Its place was as the ready-strung, light 22 with the Nanometric DR frame. With the 22 LT also gone from Yonex’s store, the 22 RX is the one Astrox 22 still in production, and the AX-22RX page covers the family.
Yonex’s item code is AX22F, in Black/Lime. Check for a 3F label (average 63 g, grip G5), a frame 10 mm longer than standard and a built-in T-joint. Yonex USA lists medium flex, high-modulus graphite, Nanometric DR and tungsten in the frame, and high-modulus graphite with Nanomesh Neo in the shaft. A 3F frame in Dark Green or Black/Red is the 22 LT; a 2F (68 g) frame is the 22 RX, the older Astrox 22 or, in Navy Blue, Japan’s Astrox 00; a Black/Lime 4U frame is the Astrox 6. Yonex documents no origin for the 22 F, so a country marking cannot be checked against a Yonex listing. Yonex’s own test is the hologram sticker, which resists peeling on a genuine racquet and lifts easily with a fingernail on a fake.
The 22 F is a light, standard Astrox, recently off Yonex’s main store and never a limited model. Buy on condition and on the code: ask for photographs of the AX22F marking, the 3F label and the cap above the handle, because the 22 LT shares its weight. Yonex USA sold it strung, so check the string and grommets. Yonex recommends 19–26 lb. Look for cracks around the head.
