Yonex Astrox 88S Game (Silver/Black) Badminton Racket (Pre-Strung)
The ASTROX 88 S allows for decisive front court attacks, while the ASTROX 88 D breaks down defenses with back court attacks. New technologies are introduced in this 3rd generation ASTROX 88 S/D as well as enhancements in the ASTROX series acclaimed Rotational Generator System. Advancing the Rotational Generator System further, a POWER-ASSIST BUMPER was added to the top of the frame, the extra weight enhances power transfer to the shuttle. The newly shaped POWER-ASSIST BUMPER fits seamlessly onto the racquet, reducing air resistance.
In the new PRO and TOUR models 2G-Namd Flex Force* was implemented throughout the shaft to maximize shot power. 2G-Namd Flex Force is a new graphite characterized by its quick flex and snapback capabilities. Combined with the newly enhanced Rotational Generator System, the rapid flex and snapback allows for continuous attacks and a new dawn for doubles players.
Regarding the differences for each model, the ASTROX 88 S focuses on control and maneuverability for fast rallies on the front court while increasing power. The ASTROX 88 S is 5 mm longer and has the added benefit of an expanded sweet spot for precise control. The complimenting ASTROX 88 D, 10 mm longer in length, focuses on back-court power, ultimately enhancing overall power shots from the back court to break the opponent’s defense. Added benefits for the ASTROX 88 D include a concentrated sweet spot and additional weight on the sides of the frame. This weight distribution on all four sides of the frame improves stability at impact for an overall stronger smash.
