Yonex Astrox 88D Pro Badminton Racket - Camel Gold | Professional Grade Carbon Fiber Shuttlecock Racket for Smash Power & Control | Perfect for Tournaments & Training Sessions

Introducing the new ASTROX 88 D PRO racquet with Rotational Generator System. The counter-balanced head adapts to each shot, helping you to control the drive and attack the opposition with increased acceleration, steeper angle, and power on the smash. An attack-oriented model that delivers steeper angle smashes and power. Developed with Namd, the world’s first graphite that flexes for power and hardens for control.

Technologies:

VOLUME CUT RESIN

New advancements are made through the introduction of the VOLUME CUT RESIN, a groundbreaking resin that provides powerful adhesion with less material and weight. This resin is highly versatile in that it can increase durability and strength or reduce weight without compromising strength.  Improvements from the VOLUME CUT RESIN can also be seen in the frame and grommets.  The frame structure is evolved with a larger sweet spot made possible by the strength-reinforced Isometric head shape. The grommets are improved with a new pattern that uses larger, strategically-placed grommets, a technology that allows more string movement at impact and ultimately increasing shuttle hold for assertive shot-making.  

 

ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM

The ASTROX series are distinguished by the Rotational Generator System, our intricate weight distribution technology designed with the counterbalance theory that allows head-heavy racquets to recover faster between shots. By employing the VOLUME CUT RESIN, the new 88 S/D models have a further refined Rotational Generator System where intricate weight distribution can be taken to the next level.

The ASTROX 88 D PRO was used by doubles world #1 team Kevin S. Sukamuljo and Marcus F. Gideon, and women’s doubles world #2 team  Yuki Fukushima and Sayaka Hirota at the All England Championships in March 2021
