Astrox 88S Tour

Yonex Astrox 88S Tour Badminton Racket

The Yonex Astrox 88S Tour is a head-heavy badminton racket designed for intermediate to advanced doubles players who favour fast, controlled front-court play. With a stiff shaft and 5 mm longer length, it combines the attacking characteristics of the Astrox 88S range with a responsive feel suited to quick exchanges and decisive shots.

Yonex’s Rotational Generator System distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and joint, helping the racket transition smoothly between consecutive shots. This is particularly useful in doubles, where players need to move quickly between attacking and defensive positions. The head-heavy balance provides additional weight behind attacking strokes while retaining the manoeuvrability required around the net.

The shaft features 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE, which is designed to provide rapid flex and snapback. This helps support efficient energy transfer and a responsive hitting feel. The REXIS Shaft and Ultra Slim Shaft further contribute to the racket’s quick response, while the stiff shaft is suited to players with established technique.

The frame uses HM Graphite, CSR and Tungsten. Its ISOMETRIC™ head shape provides an expanded effective sweet spot for improved consistency, while the AERO+BOX Frame combines aerodynamic characteristics with a solid hitting feel. The Power Assist Bumper adds weight to the upper frame to support power transfer, while the Energy Boost Cap Plus helps optimise shaft performance.

The Astrox 88S Tour is available in 4U (average 83 g) and 3U (average 88 g), with G5 and G6 grip options depending on the weight. Yonex recommends 20–28 lbs for 4U and 21–29 lbs for 3U. Finished in Silver/Black, it is a strong option for intermediate to advanced doubles players seeking front-court speed, control and attacking power.
