Astrox 88D Tour

Yonex Astrox 88D Tour Badminton Racket

The Yonex Astrox 88D Tour is a head-heavy badminton racket designed for intermediate to advanced players who want strong rear-court attacking performance. Sitting in the Tour level of the Astrox 88D range, it combines a stiff shaft, 10 mm longer length and power-focused frame construction to support powerful smashes, deep clears and sustained attacking pressure.

Yonex’s Rotational Generator System distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and joint, helping the racket transition smoothly between consecutive shots. The head-heavy balance places additional weight towards the frame head, providing useful leverage for players who generate their attacking game from the rear court.

The shaft uses HM Graphite with 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE. This material technology is designed to support greater shaft flex and rapid recovery, helping transfer energy efficiently into the shuttle. The stiff shaft provides a firm and direct response, making the racket particularly suitable for players with established technique.

The frame combines HM Graphite, CSR and Tungsten. The ISOMETRIC™ head shape increases the effective sweet spot, while the AERO+BOX Frame balances aerodynamic characteristics with a solid hitting feel. The racket also incorporates a REXIS Shaft, Ultra Slim Shaft, Energy Boost Cap Plus and Power Assist Bumper as part of its overall construction.

The Astrox 88D Tour is available in 4U (average 83 g), with grip size G6. Yonex recommends 20–28 lbs stringing for the 4U version. Finished in Black/Silver, it is a strong option for doubles players who want the rear-court attacking characteristics of the Astrox 88D series in a Tour-level specification.
