Astrox 88S Pro

Yonex Astrox 88S Pro Badminton Racket

The Yonex Astrox 88S Pro is a high-performance badminton racket designed for doubles specialists who favour fast, precise front-court play. With a stiff shaft, head-heavy balance and 5 mm longer length, it is built to provide a responsive feel while supporting quick transitions, controlled attacking shots and decisive play around the net.

The racket features Yonex’s Rotational Generator System, which distributes weight through the grip end, frame top and T-joint. This counterbalanced design helps the racket recover smoothly between consecutive shots, an important characteristic for fast doubles exchanges where players need to move quickly from one stroke to the next.

The Astrox 88S Pro uses 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE and Ultra PE Fiber in the shaft. 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE is designed to improve the shaft’s flex and snapback, helping generate explosive power and a responsive hitting feel. Ultra PE Fiber is incorporated into the shaft construction, while the stiff flex provides a firm response suited to experienced players.

The frame combines HM Graphite, CFR and Tungsten. Its ISOMETRIC™ head shape creates a larger effective sweet spot, while the AERO+BOX Frame balances faster swing characteristics with a solid feel. The racket also features an Ultra Slim Shaft, Energy Boost Cap Plus, Power Assist Bumper and new built-in T-joint.

The Astrox 88S Pro is available in 4U (average 83 g) and 3U (average 88 g), with multiple grip sizes depending on the weight. Yonex recommends 20–28 lbs for the 4U version and 21–29 lbs for the 3U version. Made in Japan and finished in Silver/Black, it is particularly suited to intermediate and advanced doubles players looking for fast front-court handling, precise control and an attacking response.
