Yonex Astrox 88 Play Badminton Racket

Overview

The Yonex Astrox 88 Play Badminton Racket is a high performance model inspired by the professional grade Astrox series, designed for players who want explosive power and precise control without compromising comfort. Perfect for doubles players and all rounders, it offers a blend of head heavy balance and fast handling to dominate rallies from any position on the court.

Features

  • Head heavy balance for powerful smashes and deep clears
  • Medium flex shaft for optimal blend of power and control
  • Lightweight graphite construction for easy manoeuvrability
  • Enhanced energy transfer for aggressive attacking play
  • Durable design suitable for both practice and competition

Design and Materials

Crafted from high quality graphite, the Astrox 88 Play delivers excellent strength to weight ratio, ensuring both durability and responsiveness. Its aerodynamic frame profile reduces air resistance, allowing for quicker racket head speed during fast exchanges, while the stylish matte finish and modern graphics give it a premium look.

Key Technologies

Rotational Generator System: Balances weight distribution across the grip, frame, and head for maximum control during quick transitions.
ISOMETRIC Frame Shape: Expands the sweet spot for more consistent shot accuracy.
Graphite Construction: Lightweight yet strong material for superior performance and durability.
