Astrox 39: a low-priced stiff Astrox in shops by 2018, on Yonex’s own lists from 2020
In shops before it was on Yonex’s lists
The Astrox 39 reached shops before it reached Yonex’s own lists. On November 15, 2018 a Malaysian retailer wrote that it had just launched the Astrox 38S, 38D, 39, 68S, 68D and 69, and that they were selling well “even before officially launched by Yonex.” Yonex China’s Astrox list carried the 38s, the 68s and the 69 in every 2019 capture, but not the 39. The 39 first appears there in a capture of March 28, 2020. Outside China, the first Yonex listings found are Yonex USA’s 2021 catalog and Yonex’s global store, from April 2021. The 2018 date for the Astrox 39 therefore comes from a retailer, not from Yonex.
Plain graphite, Nanomesh Neo and tungsten
Yonex’s global store described the 39 in 2021 as a stiff racquet with a frame of graphite, Nanomesh Neo and tungsten and a shaft of graphite and Nanomesh Neo, joined by a built-in T-joint, in a frame 10 mm longer than standard. It came in 4U (average 83 g) with G4 or G5 grips, and Yonex recommends 20–28 lb. Yonex USA’s 2021 catalog gives the same specification with a G5 grip and marks the model “Special Order.” That catalog prints the 39 on one spread with the Astrox 100 ZZ, 100 ZX, 99 and 69, and the 39 is the only one of the five whose frame is listed as plain graphite rather than high-modulus graphite. Its technology line names the Rotational Generator System, which Yonex describes as counterbalanced weight spread through the grip end, frame top and joint, along with Nanomesh Neo, the Isometric head and the Aero+Box frame.
No documented player
No professional player is documented using the Astrox 39 in Yonex’s reports or staff lists. Its link to the top of the game is cosmetic: the retailer that first sold it described it as resembling the Astrox 99, the racquet it said Kento Momota was then using.
Sunshine Orange and Sapphire Navy
Yonex documents one color for the 39: Sapphire Navy, item code AX39T on Yonex’s global store and AX39 in Yonex USA’s catalog. The racquet first sold in Sunshine Orange, the launch color of the Astrox 99, but only retailers document that version. That retailer described the 38D, 38S and 39 as made in China and resembling the 88D, 88S and 99, and the 68D, 68S and 69 as made in Taiwan and resembling the same three. In April 2021 the same retailer added a Taiwan-made Sapphire Navy 39, which it said brought the model “to a higher level in terms of quality and material,” and its product pages give China for the Sunshine Orange frame and Taiwan for the Sapphire Navy one. Yonex states no origin for either. The Sapphire Navy Astrox 99 has its own page.
On Yonex’s lists in 2020 and 2021
Yonex China listed the Astrox 39 in every capture of its Astrox page from March 2020 to June 2021, among the cheapest models on the list and well below the Japan-made Astrox 55 to 100 ZZ. Yonex’s global store showed it in stock in April and October 2021; that page has since been removed. Yonex USA’s 2021 catalog offered it to order, and its 2024 catalog no longer lists it. Yonex published no production-end notice, so 2021 is the last year it is documented on sale new from Yonex. Verified sales so far are few, all pre-owned and from Asia resale; the price panel above lists them. It was a standard low-priced model, and its interest is practical.
Look-alikes rather than fakes
No counterfeit report specific to the Astrox 39 has been found, and Yonex published no guide for it. The more common problem is identity. Retailers describe the 39 as styled after the Astrox 99, and its siblings the 38s, 68s and 69 after the 88S, 88D and 99, so a listing photo of an orange or navy Astrox proves little. The model number on the shaft, the 4U label and the item code separate them. The 39 also has nothing in common with the Astrox 22 F beyond the series name: the 22 F is a 3F (63 g) racquet rated medium in Yonex USA’s catalogs, and no Yonex source presents one as a step up from the other.
A footnote to the Astrox 99
The Astrox 39 belongs to a group of low-priced Astrox models (the 38S, 38D, 68S, 68D, 69 and 39) that Yonex China listed beside the Japan-made range and that, by retailers’ account, borrowed its looks. None of them appears in any capture of Yonex’s Astrox microsite line-up from August 2018 to July 2020, which ran from the 99 (and, from 2020, the 100) down to the 2. The 39 matters to a collector of the Astrox 99 mainly as an inexpensive frame that can be confused with it.
Yonex’s item code is AX39 (Yonex USA) or AX39T (Yonex’s global store, Sapphire Navy). Check for an Astrox 39 name on the shaft, a 4U label (average 83 g) with a G4 or G5 grip, and a frame 10 mm longer than standard with a built-in T-joint. Yonex lists stiff flex, graphite, Nanomesh Neo and tungsten in the frame, and graphite with Nanomesh Neo in the shaft. Yonex documents only Sapphire Navy; Sunshine Orange frames are documented by retailers. Yonex states no origin for the 39, so a country marking cannot be checked against a Yonex listing. An orange or navy frame marked 99, 69 or 38 is a different model. 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 Astrox 39 is a low-priced standard model, not a scarce one, and its interest is practical or as a companion to the Astrox 99. Buy on condition and identity: ask for clear photographs of the shaft print, the weight label and the cap above the handle, and check that the frame says 39 rather than 99 or 69. Yonex recommends 20–28 lb. Look for cracks around the head and for repainted frames.
