Product details
Are you looking for the Yonex Astrox 88 S TOUR? Then you have come to the right place at the KW FLEX online badminton webshop.
The Yonex Astrox 88S Tour is the successor to the well-known Yonex Astrox 88 D rackets. The third-generation Yonex Astrox 88S Tour has a brand new black and silver color. This innovative racket is designed for attacking players who want to maximize power and control. These badminton rackets are designed for the spectacular and fast-paced style of doubles, making it possible to take over the attack even more powerfully.
Difference between Astrox 88S PRO and Astrox 88S Tour
The Yonex Astrox 88 S Tour is the cheaper version of the Yonex Astrox 88S PRO. The difference is in the production country. The PRO version is produced in Japan, where the best quality in terms of materials is used. The Astrox 88S Tour is produced by Yonex in Taiwan. This does not mean that the Tour version is bad, but only in a different country with different standards.
Control and Power in the Yonex Astrox 88S
Designed with power and control in mind, the Astrox 88S is an excellent badminton racket for players who play a lot at the net. It is designed to beat your opponent at the net and hit the shuttle accurately and powerfully. The Stability Weight Distribution Technology ensures that your strokes remain controlled and precise while your power increases. This badminton racket is ideal for advanced players seeking extra power and accuracy, weighing approximately 84g (4U).
Difference between the Astrox 88 D and S
Of course, there is also a Yonex Astrox 88 D version for the more attacking players who are more at the back of the court! The difference between the two Skill and Dominate variant are very subtle, but certainly quite noticeable. The frame of the Skill version is approx 5mm larger and has a larger sweetspot, also the shaft is slightly shorter.
Benefits Yonex Astrox 88S Silver?
The Volume Cut Resin enhanced material is also visible in the frame and grommets. The frame structure has evolved, resulting in a larger sweetspot, partly due to the powerful reinforced isometric blade shape. The tubes have been placed in better places in the frame and are slightly larger, allowing the strings to move slightly more during impact of the shuttle. The shuttle will therefore be able to be launched with even more power with better balance/control.
This Yonex Astrox 88S is still for the controlling player at the net and combines a head-heavy balance, 4U-weight and stiff shaft and offers great control and also power for players who are often at the net and need to hit the shuttle back there quickly and accurately.
Pioneering Technologies
This racket combines a wide range of advanced technologies, making it a true champion. Players who like to break open their opponents' defences from the back of the court can choose the Yonex Astrox 88S with conviction.
AERO+ Box Frame
A streamlined frame with less drag and more speed while remaining stable.
Volume Cut Resin
Yonex has been able to make new advances in development with the Volume Cut Resin. This ground-breaking resin provides powerful adhesion with less material and therefore weight. It is a highly versatile resin with a durable and strong character, which has reduced weight.
ISOMETRIC
The ISOMETRIC shape increases the sweetspot by 7% compared to traditional rackets. This optimises the crossing of the main and cross strings to achieve greater precision.
Rotary Generator System with 2G-Name Flex Force
A weight distribution system that enables smooth transitions between powerful strokes, supported by the innovative "2G-NamdTM Flex Force" in the shaft to maximise hitting power.
Stability Weight Distribution
The distribution of extra weight on the sides of the frame improves stability during the stroke and maximises smash power.
Ultra PE Fibre
The shaft is made of "Ultra PEF", or ultra polyethylene fibre, which is light enough to float on water, yet can withstand enormous forces, increasing shock absorption.
E.B Cap by Yonex
This technology increases energy transfer from the player to the racquet by bending the shaft in a single direction, reducing shaft rotation and energy loss. This combines perfectly with the innovative Namd graphite that produces extra flex and snapback for players, giving you extra power without losing control.
Ultra Thin Shaft
The Ultra Slim Long Shaft with NANOPREME has 10% more stability than traditional badminton rackets.
Power Assister Bumper
Applied to direct weight towards the shuttle and generate more power.
