The Astrox Lite 43i is the sister of the 37i in Yonex's i-Series, with the same spec-sheet numbers and a different look. It weighs an average of 78 g (5U), has a heavy head with the balance at 295 mm, a flexible shaft, 675 mm length and takes up to 30 lbs. The frame uses high-modulus graphite, Nanomesh Neo and an Aero Box design to cut through the air. It is a light, simple-to-handle racket that delivers power without demanding refined technique, recommended for doubles and for players who are improving.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%45
Approval from players35%59

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
