Balance determines whether your racket is head heavy, even or head light.

Flexibility ranges from 0 – 100%, the higher the percentage, the chance of generating power in your shot.

Total Weight is the unstrung weight of the racket as measured by Yonex Precision Scan. Heavier rackets generate more power.

Swing Weight is measured by the swinging of the racket at a specific speed. A lighter swing weight can lead to more control.

Performance Swing Weight considers the weight, balance and swing weight to give you an effective estimate of the power behind your racket.

Yonex Astrox 88S Tour

Product Description:
The Yonex Astrox 88S Tour is a high-performance badminton racket tailored for players who excel in the front-court and prefer a racket that enhances their speed and power. It’s part of the Astrox series, known for its head-heavy balance and advanced technologies geared towards dynamic play.

Key Features:

  • Innovative Frame: Constructed with high-modulus graphite, the frame is engineered for resilience and forceful shot-making. Accompanied by the Tungsten and CFR make this one of Yonex's most stable and powerful entries yet.
  • Responsive Shaft: The high-modulus graphite shaft delivers increased flexibility and rapid response, allowing for swift stroke play. Adding 2G-Namd™, FLEX FORCE, to the shaft adds a new dynamic producing a shaft that's been engineered for doubles.
  • Dynamic Balance: A head-heavy racket tailored for commanding drives and last minute deception, perfect for the attacking doubles player. Accompanying the rotational generator system to enhance the powerful shots without compromising usability.

Advanced Technologies:

  • Rotational Generator System: Achieves the perfect balance between racket weight and rotational speed for fluid transitions and powerful strokes.
  • AERO+BOX Frame: Combines the speed of an aerodynamic frame and the stability of a box frame, ensuring rapid swings and solid shot feel.
  • 2G-Namd™ : This technology enables quicker shaft flex and snapback, generating explosive power for smashes and drives.
  • FLEX FORCE: Flex Force technology in Yonex rackets is designed to enhance the flexibility and snapback speed of the racket, thereby increasing the power of shots. This technology ensures that the racket frame flexes and returns to its shape quickly, enabling players to hit powerful shots with less effort.
  • ISOMETRIC™: ISOMETRIC Technology for an Enlarged Sweet Spot: Experience an expanded sweet spot with ISOMETRIC technology, which optimises the intersection of the main and cross strings. This innovation provides greater control and power, helping you take your game to the next level.
  • POWER ASSIST BUMPER: equipped with a tungsten-infused nylon bumper attached to the racquet, is designed to direct more weight into the shuttlecock, resulting in heavier and more powerful shots.
  • Tungsten: Yonex incorporates tungsten in the Astrox badminton rackets to enhance the precision and stability of shots by optimising the weight distribution and increasing the frame's stiffness.
  • Rexis Shaft: crafted through an original Yonex moulding technique, is a high-performance shaft designed to enhance shot performance and dominate the game by offering precise control and improved playability.
  • Energy Boost Cap Plus: The uniquely shaped cap of this design maximises shaft performance by allowing flex at the front while its sides' arch-shaped curve stabilises the racquet face, preventing the shaft from twisting.
  • CFR: CFR, or Compact Frame Reinforcement, in Yonex rackets is utilised to strengthen the racket frame without significantly increasing its weight. This technology ensures the frame is more durable and resistant to torsional forces, leading to improved stability and precision in shots.



Suitability:

• Skill Level: Best suited for advanced players who need a racket that complements an attacking style, especially in doubles play.
• Playing Style: Ideal for players who thrive in the frontcourt, delivering fast drives, sharp smashes, and quick net play.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regularly check and restring the racket as needed.
• Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a racket bag to protect it from moisture and temperature changes.
• Avoid leaving it in extreme temperatures to prevent damage to the materials.

Conclusion:

The Yonex Astrox 88S Tour is an excellent choice for advanced badminton players, particularly those who play doubles and are often positioned in the frontcourt. The racket’s balance between power and speed, coupled with innovative technologies, provides the perfect tool for an aggressive and fast-paced game. Whether you’re executing sharp smashes or rapid net kills, the Astrox 88S Tour is designed to enhance your performance on the court.
