Yonex Astrox 88D Game (3rd Gen) Badminton Racket [Black/Silve] 4U G5

Smash harder. Attack from the backcourt.

If you like ending rallies from the rear court with steep, fast smashes, the Yonex Astrox 88D Game 3rd Gen is built for you. It is a head-heavy, attack-focused racket with a medium-flex shaft. That makes it more forgiving and easier to swing than the stiffer Pro models, so intermediate players and improving club players can get real power without wearing out their arm.

What makes it special?

Rotational Generator System. Weight is spread across the head, frame and grip end. This helps the racket turn quickly and keeps your swing smooth, so you can go from defense to attack faster.

2G-Nanomesh Neo shaft. The updated shaft flexes and snaps back faster on every stroke, turning your swing into extra shuttle speed. It is a slim shaft of about 6.7 mm, so it cuts through the air with less resistance.

Stability Weight Distribution. Extra weight along the sides of the frame keeps the racket steady on impact. Your off-center hits stay stable, and your smashes stay accurate. According to Yonex's own robot testing, this design gives noticeably more smash power and a steeper smash angle.

Aero + Box Frame with Isometric head. The aerodynamic top gives a fast swing, and the box-style lower frame gives a solid, controlled feel. The Isometric head shape enlarges the sweet spot, so mishits are more forgiving.

Built for durability. The frame combines high-modulus graphite, CSR and tungsten for strength and power. The Energy Boost Cap Plus and Power Assist Bumper add extra drive on each shot.

Who is it for?

• Doubles players who play the backcourt
• Singles players who like an aggressive smash-and-attack style
• Intermediate players moving up to a head-heavy racket
• Anyone who wants a powerful racket that is not too stiff
