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 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.

STABILITY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

The added weight distribution on the sides of the frame enhances stability during the swing, resulting in maximized smash power. And allowing for the effective breakdown of defenses during back-court attacks.

Energy Boost CAP PLUS

Uniquely shaped cap which maximizes shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting.

Power Assist Bumper

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

Ultra Slim Shaft

Thinnest Ever with More Power

Inserting NANOPREME into the racquet shaft ensures greater stability compared to conventional racquets. When bending and releasing two racquets under the same force, the Ultra Slim Long Shaft rebounds almost twice as far as a conventional racquet does in the same length of time (0.018 seconds). This equates to 10% greater stability compared with conventional racquets.

Ultra PE Fiber

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

AERO+BOX Frame

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

ISOMETRIC

Enlarged Sweet Spot

ISOMETRICTM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success.

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

ISOMETRICTM delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRICTM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD.

Frequently Asked Questions: Astrox 88D Pro (3rd Gen)

Q: What is the difference between the Astrox 88D Pro and 88S Pro? A: The "D" stands for Dominate (Back Court). It is designed for maximum power and smash angle. It has a slightly longer head reach than the 88S ("Skill"), which is optimized for front-court control.

Q: How does the 3rd Gen (Black/Silver) differ from the 2nd Gen (Camel Gold)? A: The 3rd Gen features a new Power-Assist Bumper and CFR (Carbon Fiber Rubber) in the frame. This creates a more solid "hold" on the shuttle for explosive power transfer compared to the previous generation.

Q: Is this racket suitable for singles? A: While designed for doubles back-court play, many singles players use it because of its head-heavy balance and power potential, similar to the Astrox 99 Pro but faster.

Q: What string tension should I use? A: For the 4U model, the recommended range is 20-28 lbs. For 3U, it is 21-29 lbs. Advanced players often string higher for control.
