The third generation of the Yonex Astrox 88S Pro is here, sporting a brand-new silver and black colourway and game-changing technology. Aimed at aggressive players looking to maximise their speed and power output, the 88S Pro is a trailblazing racket that stands out among the rest. 

The 88S excels in doubles play, generating plenty of power from the back of the court, whilst also being perfect for keeping up with fast-paced rallies closer to the net. The 3U weight (approx. 88 grams) along with head-heavy balance gives this racket some extra vigor for smashes, making this a force to be reckoned with on the court. The super slim shaft has a stiff flex, ensuring all your shots are controlled, whilst the Isometric technology optimises the string crosses, enlarging your sweet spot, making this racket both forgiving and highly consistent. 

Numerous technologies combine to make this racket perform at a high level wherever you are on the court. Precise, powerful and quick, this racket is a must-have for serious enthusiasts. 

Features:

AERO Box Frame: Smoother contours throughout the racquet head for less wind resistance and extra racquet speed, combined with the stability of a box frame. 

ISOMETRIC: Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings.

Rotational Generator System 2G-Namd Flex Force: By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is carefully distributed throughout the grip end, frame top, and joint, enabling a smooth transition between powerful shots for rapid, successive attacks. The innovative graphite “2G-NamdTM Flex Force” used in the shaft, characterized by its quick flex and snapback, maximizes shot power and advances the performance of the Rotational Generator System.

Expanded Sweet Spot: The tailored 67cm racket length enables fast maneuverability, while the expansion of the sweet spot area by optimizing the frame design increases precision. Supports fast rallies and secures points from front-court attacks.

Ultra PE Fiber: The shaft is constructed using ‘Ultra PEF’ – ultra poly ethylene fiber – which is light enough to float on water yet able to withstand immense forces. these characteristics allow for maximum shock absorption.

Super Slim Shaft: The slimmest racket shaft ever produced by YONEX vastly reduces air resistance whilst providing maximum feel.

Energy Boost CAP PLUS: A uniquely shaped cap that maximizes shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the side arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.

Power Assister Bumper: Attached to enforce heavier, increased power by configuring the weight directed into the shuttlecock with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper.
