Yonex Astrox 88S Pro Badminton Racket - Emerald Blue

4U in stock, 3U waiting for stock - pre order now

The popular doubles-concept racquets, ASTROX 88 S and ASTROX 88 D, will be reintroduced in March 2021 with new innovations and materials crafted in for enhanced performance. ASTROX 88 S PRO and ASTROX 88 D PRO are designed to complement the evolving, faster style of doubles play, which requires even faster takebacks for continuous powerful attack shots. The release of the PRO will be accompanied by affordable models ASTROX 88S/D TOUR and GAME, designed and crafted with the same performance concept.

The Astrox 88S Pro is ideal for the aggressive doubles player who likes to dominate the fore court.

New advancements are made through the introduction of the VOLUME CUT RESIN, a groundbreaking resin that provides powerful adhesion with less material and weight. This resin is highly versatile in that it can increase durability and strength or reduce weight without compromising strength.

The ASTROX series are distinguished by the Rotational Generator System, our intricate weight distribution technology designed with the counterbalance theory that allows head-heavy racquets to recover faster between shots. By employing the VOLUME CUT RESIN, the new 88 S/D models have a further refined Rotational Generator System where intricate weight distribution can be taken to the next level.

Improvements*1 from the VOLUME CUT RESIN can also be seen in the frame and grommets. The frame structure is evolved with a larger sweet spot made possible by the strength-reinforced Isometric head shape. The grommets are improved with a new pattern that uses larger, strategically-placed grommets, a technology that allows more string movement at impact and ultimately increasing shuttle hold for assertive shot-making. The 88 S models, designed for front-court players, will have longer shuttle hold for precise net control and the 88 D models, designed for back-court players, will balance repulsion and shuttle hold for maximum power.

The ASTROX 88 S PRO and ASTROX 88 D PRO are set to debut on court in March by players such as men’s doubles world no.1 Kevin S. Sukamuljo and Marcus F. Gideon, and women’s doubles world no. 2 Yuki Fukushima and Sayaka Hirota*2.

Demo rackets in store and by post

Trying out a racket before you buy can be a great way of making sure you get the correct racket for you. We have invested in creating a huge range of demo rackets for our customers to try. There are two different ways of testing rackets with us. Please read carefully before borrowing a racket. Our demo rackets are kept in the best condition possible and restrung whenever needed. However we cannot restring demo rackets specifically for each customer.

1) Pick up a racket in store: A deposit of £5 per racket will be charged each time you demo a racket. This is non refundable but will be taken off any future purchase of those frames (not transferrable to other items). Only one £5 fee can be taken off each purchase. Customers are allowed to borrow up to THREE rackets each time, subject to availability for up to 1 week. You will be expected to return rackets to the shop promptly otherwise future testing may be refused.

2) Demo by post: To borrow a racket test when you can't make it to our store, find the racket you like on our site, select the demo option (not available on every racket) and place your order, paying the £49.99 deposit. Only ONE racket may be sent at a time by post. We will send out your ordered demo racket as soon as one is available (there may be a waiting list). Customers will be expected to return the demo racket after up to 1 week of light playtesting. Return the racket in the box they came in by your choice of courier. We suggest Parcelforce, DHL or UPS. Please note this will be at your own expense.

After the racket is received back at the shop we will send you a discount code to get £30.00 off your chosen racket. If you choose not to buy that racket we will refund £30.00 of your deposit.

We reserve the right to reduce the amount of discount/refund at our managers discretion should any demo rackets come back damaged more than we feel is reasonable for playtesting. If rackets are not returned for any reason including being lost in transit then deposits will not be refunded. You will not be charged for any string breakages whilst testing a racket.
