Designed for the attacking front-court player.
The Astrox 88S PRO is an updated version for Astrox 88S . Similar to its predecessor, the 88S PRO combines a heavy balance with a stiff shaft to offer plenty of attacking power for drives and smashes. This beautifully designed racket also features a shorter shaft that offers fantastic balance and handling due to reduced air resistance. You will be able to rapid fire drives with ease during fast rallies due to the minimal flex and excellent balance.
Yonex has also introduced a wider frame width ,bigger grommet holes and its innovative Energy Boost Cap which greatly increase the feel and playability of the racket. The Energy Boost Cap especially stands out as it allows the shaft to flex, while the sides arch-shaped curve stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft from twisting. This allows you to maintain control during fast rallies when you are placed under pressure .
Similar to the 88S , the 88S PRO truly shines at the front court where you will be to easily transition from mid-court drives to aggressive attacking net play with relative smoothness.
