Frequently Asked Questions: Astrox 88S Pro (3rd Gen)
Q: What is the difference between the Astrox 88S Pro and 88D Pro? A: The "S" stands for "Skill" (Front Court). It is 5mm longer than a standard racket and designed for precise net play, rapid defense, and shuttle hold. The "D" stands for "Dominate" (Rear Court) and is 10mm longer to maximize smash power.
Q: How does the Silver/Black (3rd Gen) differ from the Emerald Blue (2nd Gen)? A: This 2024 model introduces CFR (Carbon Fiber Rubber) in the frame to increase "shuttle hold" time, giving you more control to spin and place the shuttle at the net compared to the previous generation.
Q: Is this racket suitable for beginners? A: This is a Pro model with a stiff shaft and smaller sweet spot, designed for advanced players with developed technique. Beginners should look at the Astrox 88 Game or Play models which are more forgiving.
Q: Which professional players use the Astrox 88S Pro? A: This model is used by top doubles specialists like Baek Ha Na (Korea) and Wang Chang (China).
