The 3rd Generation Astrox 88 D Pro is designed specifically for the aggressive doubles player looking to fire powerful smashes from the rear court.
The new Astrox 88 D Pro is forged with a new material, the 2G-NAMD Flex Force that can maintain the strength of the material whilst reducing the weight. This provides further flexibility to enhance the Rotational Generator system.
This technology enables the racquet to feel even balance when stationary, but becomes head heavy when you're swinging it.
The Astrox 88 D PRO features the NAMD graphite in the shaft which is a strong and responsive material.
This type of graphite enables the racquet to flex in a way to create a steeper shot angle. Whether you're hitting a smash or a drop shot, you'll notice the steeper shots being produced.
The third generation Yonex Astrox 88 S Pro features a Power Assist Bumper at the top of the frame. This seamlessly adds extra weight to the racquet to further enhance the rotational generator effect.

Good racket, still getting used to the timing with the new sweet spot and stiffer shaft (shaft bends less since less head weight). Faster than the 2nd gen, doing a lot more attacking shots at the front since I have the control of the faster racket

This is a guide for those who are not sure of your stringing tension, based on average figures for men and women. Higher tension gives you more control, lower tension gives you more power. Higher tension makes the string less durable.
