ASTROX 88D TOUR FRAME (NEW COLOR BLACK/SILVER)

Yonex Astrox 88D Tour Strung Badminton Racquet (New Black/Silver Color) | 4U G5

Unleash commanding power from the backcourt with the Yonex Astrox 88D Tour, now available in a striking new Black/Silver aesthetic. Engineered for the aggressive doubles player, this racquet is tailored to break down defenses with explosive smashes and deep drives. With its stiff shaft and head-heavy balance, the Astrox 88D Tour provides the raw power needed to dictate rallies from the rear of the court. The 4U (average 83g) weight and G5 grip offer a manageable balance for powerful swings without sacrificing maneuverability.

The Astrox 88D Tour integrates Yonex's enhanced Rotational Generator System, which precisely distributes weight throughout the racquet to ensure smooth transitions between powerful attacking shots and quick recovery for relentless follow-ups. The shaft features 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE, a cutting-edge graphite material that enables quicker shaft flex and snapback, delivering even more explosive power to the shuttlecock. The frame also benefits from VOLUME CUT RESIN, which improves the racquet's overall strength and stability while optimizing weight. 

Designed to give backcourt players the edge, the Yonex Astrox 88D Tour in Black/Silver is a formidable weapon for those who thrive on dominating rallies with sheer power and strategic shot placement.

Key Features & Technologies:

• New Black/Silver Colorway: A fresh and sleek aesthetic for the latest generation of the 88D Tour.

• Full HM Graphite Construction (Frame & Shaft): Utilizes high-modulus graphite for a lightweight, durable, and highly responsive racquet.  

  Head-Heavy Balance: Optimized for generating immense power on overhead shots, crucial for backcourt players executing smashes and deep clears.

• Stiff Flex Shaft: Provides maximum power transfer and exceptional precision, ideal for players with fast, powerful swings who demand accuracy in their attacking shots. 

  Rotational Generator System (Enhanced): This advanced system meticulously distributes weight across the grip end, frame top, and joint. It allows for seamless and rapid transitions between powerful attacks and quick defensive recovery, enabling continuous pressure on opponents.  

• 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE (Shaft): A revolutionary graphite material used in the shaft. It's characterized by its quick flex and rapid snapback, significantly enhancing shot power and contributing to explosive smashes and drives

  VOLUME CUT RESIN (Frame): This innovative resin material is integrated into the frame composition (HM Graphite, CSR, Tungsten). It provides strong adhesion with less material weight, increasing the racquet's strength, power, and stability.   

  AERO+BOX Frame: Combines the benefits of an aerodynamic frame (for faster swing speeds) with a box frame (for a solid and stable hitting feel), offering an optimal blend of speed and power. 
  Stability Weight Distribution (ASTROX 88D specific): Additional weight is strategically placed on the sides of the frame (D model) to enhance stability at impact, maximizing smash power and aiding in breaking down opponent's defenses.

• Super Slim Shaft: A thinner shaft design significantly reduces air resistance, leading to faster swing speeds and improved maneuverability for quicker reactions.   

• New Grommet Pattern & Enlarged Sweet Spot: Features a refined isometric frame shape and new grommet pattern with larger, strategically-placed grommets. This allows for more string movement at impact, increasing shuttle hold for assertive shot-making and expanding the sweet spot for more consistent powerful shots.   

• Energy Boost CAP PLUS: A uniquely shaped cap that maximizes shaft performance by allowing optimal flex while preventing twisting of the racquet face, contributing to greater control and power.   

  Power Assist Bumper: A tungsten-infused nylon bumper installed at the top of the frame. This adds weight to the frame top, enhancing power transfer to the shuttle for even heavier, more impactful shots.

• Targeted Player Level: Intermediate to advanced doubles players who primarily play from the backcourt and rely on powerful attacks to dictate rallies.   

  Weight & Grip: 4U (average 83g) for agile handling in doubles, with a G5 grip size for a comfortable and secure hold.   

  Length: 10 mm longer than standard length, providing extended reach for powerful clears and smashes from the backcourt.   

  Developed in Japan, Made in Taiwan: Designed with Yonex's renowned Japanese engineering precision, with efficient and high-quality manufacturing in Taiwan.

• Full Cover Included: Comes with a full racquet cover for protection and convenient transport
