Astrox 77 Tour: the Taiwan-made middle tier of the 77 Pro, without Flex Fuse or Namd
The middle tier of the 2022 Astrox 77
Yonex announced the second-generation Astrox 77 from Tokyo on September 21, 2022, for a global launch on October 21 “in three different models, PRO, TOUR and PLAY – each developed with the same performance concept but with variations in performance materials used.” The Tour (item code AX77-T) is the middle one, and Yonex’s global site listed it within days of the announcement. It shares the Pro’s High Orange paint, medium flex, 10 mm extra length and both weight classes, but not the materials the Pro was launched on: Yonex lists no Flex Fuse in its frame and no Namd in its shaft. It is made in Taiwan, where the Pro is made in Japan. Sold outside Japan from 2022, it joined Yonex Japan’s own line only in April 2024.
Light Feel Carbon Neo instead of Flex Fuse
Yonex’s specification gives the Tour a frame of high-modulus graphite, Light Feel Carbon Neo and tungsten, a shaft of high-modulus graphite and Nanomesh Neo, and a built-in T-joint. The Pro has Flex Fuse, the softer resin Yonex placed in the joint at the bottom of the frame, Namd and Ultra PE Fiber in a super slim shaft, a Solid Feel Core and what Yonex calls a new built-in T-joint. In Yonex USA’s 2024 catalog the two share the Rotational Generator System, the Isometric head shape, the Aero+Box frame, the Energy Boost Cap Plus and tungsten; the Tour’s shaft is listed as slim, with Yonex’s REXIS shaft. Yonex’s first page for the Tour, in September 2022, printed only high-modulus graphite for the frame; Light Feel Carbon Neo is named in the 2024 catalogs and on Yonex’s current page.
Upper-intermediate, with no named player
No player is documented on the 77 Tour. Yonex launched the new 77 with Chen Yufei, An Se-young, Huang Yaqiong and Fajar Alfian, and its records list them on the Pro. Yonex Japan’s 2024 catalog calls the Tour the Pro’s concept design, with powerful smashes and the mild hitting feel that upper-intermediate players want: a “high-performance model for upper-intermediate players.” Yonex Japan’s online shop rates it best for intermediate men and advanced women, suitable for advanced men and intermediate women, and leaves beginners blank. Yonex USA’s 2026 copy pitches it at advanced players. Below it, the Hi-Flex 77 Play is the line’s beginner racquet.
High Orange, then Light Beige
The Tour came first in High Orange (color 752), in 4U (average 83 g, grip 5 or 6) and 3U (average 88 g, grip 4, 5 or 6), the same classes as the Pro. On March 27, 2026, Yonex Japan released a new Light Beige design from its “The Shutter Series,” on the same day as Light Beige Tours of the ArcSaber 7 and Nanoflare 700. Yonex USA lists the color as 343, and Yonex’s global site now gives both colors under the one AX77-T code, so the beige frame is a variant, not a separate model. Yonex lists the Pro (AX77-P) only in High Orange. The 2017 Astrox 77 (AX77) is the first generation, a different racquet with its own page.
Worldwide since 2022, in Japan since 2024
The Tour is current. It is on Yonex’s global site in both colors and on Yonex Japan’s racquet list, and Yonex Japan’s 2024, 2025 and 2026 catalogs carry it. Its Japanese debut was in the 2024 catalog, tagged NEW, made in Taiwan and due in mid-April 2024 at ¥26,400 including tax, beside the Japan-made Pro at ¥30,800; the catalog noted that Japan Badminton Association approval had been applied for, and Yonex Japan’s shop now marks it as approved. It is a standard production model sold through Yonex’s regional companies and their dealers, so new stock is the main supply and nothing about it is scarce. No verified sales are recorded yet.
Same paint, different racquets
No counterfeit of the 77 Tour is documented, though Yonex warns that counterfeits are hard to tell from genuine racquets by sight. The likelier problem is a tier mix-up. Three 77s share the High Orange paint and two share Light Beige, and the Tour has the Pro’s weight classes, length and flex, so neither the paint nor the label weight separates them. The item code and the country marking do: AX77-T and Taiwan for the Tour, AX77-P and Japan for the Pro. A Tour described with Flex Fuse or Namd carries the Pro’s description; one described as Hi-Flex or 4U-only carries the Play’s. The callout lists the checks.
The medium-flex Tour
The Tour is the 77’s middle step, and Yonex has spread it wider than the launch suggested: sold outside Japan from 2022, added in Japan in 2024 and given a second color in 2026, while the Play stayed outside Japan. Among Yonex’s current Astrox Tour models it is the medium-flex one; Yonex rates the 2024 Astrox 88 S and D Tours and the 2025 Astrox 99 Tour stiff. Its interest for a collector is as part of the complete 2022 line, whose Pro carried An Se-young to two world titles.
Yonex’s item code is AX77-T. The Tour is High Orange (752) or, from March 2026, Light Beige (343), 10 mm longer than standard, medium flex, in 4U (average 83 g, grip 5 or 6) or 3U (average 88 g, grip 4–6), and Yonex Japan lists it as made in Taiwan. Yonex lists high-modulus graphite, Light Feel Carbon Neo and tungsten in the frame, high-modulus graphite with Nanomesh Neo in the shaft, and a built-in T-joint. The Pro (AX77-P) is made in Japan, with Flex Fuse and Namd; the Play (AX77-PL) is graphite, Hi-Flex and 4U only. 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 Tour is current, so most players will buy it new and choose weight and grip. Yonex recommends 20–28 lb for 4U and 21–29 lb for 3U (19–27 and 20–28 lb on its first page in 2022). For a used frame, ask for daylight photographs of the item code, the country marking and the T-joint, and check the color against the date: a Light Beige Tour dates from 2026 or later. An Se-young’s titles belong to the Pro, and a Tour listing that leans on them is describing a different racquet.
