Yonex Astrox 88S Game is a new model of badminton racket is derived from its higher version model named as Yonex Astrox 88S Pro.
Frame of this model is made of High modulus graphite material with tungsten and volume cut resin. Volume cut resin is all new resin material while mixed with HM graphite to get extraordinary racket characteristics.
Volume cut resin provides prefect adhesion among the graphite while its weight is less. Further, it improves the overall racket strength, power and stability of racket at lesser weight. So, it offers better weight to strength ratio.
This racket is suitable for doubles game while Astrox 88S Game is specially developed for those who love to allow shuttle to hold on string bed. With extra hold shuttle time, player will get extra time hence extra control on shuttle mainly helps in exception net area drop shots and smashes.
To further improve the control, Yonex uses the Energy Boost Cap concept. Energy boost cap concept is unique shape of cap which allow shaft to move freely while control shape of cap restricted the shaft movement against the twisting. This combination of both will offer better control and fast smash ability.

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.

Counterbalanced Weight Distribution
By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly, with rapid succession.
Increased Control
The new shape allows the shaft to flex, which ensures the maximum effect of “Namd[1](more flex and faster kick-back graphite material)” and stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft twisting, increasing control
Built-in T-Joint
Increases strength between the frame and shaft eliminating head twist for more control.
