ASTROX 88D PRO Black/Silver
Equipment type: badminton racket. Equipment brand: YONEX. Equipment series: Astrox series. Applicable range: all. Price range: unknown yuan. Equipment description: New color of Astrox 88dpro. AX88DPRO new color. 3AX88D-PYX. Release date: March 22, 2024. Equipment introduction: YONEX Astrox 88D PRO new color badminton racket. The launch of the new Astrox 88D will bring new dawn to doubles players. With the rapid improvement of defensive level in doubles, scoring on the court requires breaking through more difficulties and obstacles. Astrox 88D is designed to overcome this challenge. Astrox 88D breaks through defense through backcourt offense. The third-generation Astrox 88D introduces new technologies and enhances the widely praised rotational force generation system of the Astrox series. To further optimize the rotational force generation system, an assist nail is added on the top of the frame. The additional weight is designed to better transfer the hitting force to the ball head. The new-shaped assist nail is seamlessly joined with the frame to reduce air resistance. In the new PRO model, the entire shaft is made of the second-generation Elastic Nanocarbon*, designed to enhance hitting power. Combined with the enhanced rotational force generation system, rapid deformation and rebound are designed to achieve continuous strong attacks and bring new dawn to doubles players. [Astrox 88D]: The length is increased by 10 millimeters, focusing on backcourt power to enhance the overall power of backcourt shots and break the opponent’s defense. The optimized performance improvement of Astrox 88D includes a more concentrated sweet spot and weight distribution on both sides of the frame. The gravity stabilization system of the racket is designed to improve stability during hitting, making smashes more powerful. [Rotational force generation system]: A weight distribution technology precisely designed according to the balance theory, designed to enable head-heavy rackets to recover faster even in consecutive hits. [Enhanced rotational force generation system]: Weight is distributed at the end of the entire grip, on the top of the frame and at the T-joint, designed to achieve continuous and powerful attacks. The assist nail is seamlessly joined with the frame to reduce air resistance and increase the weight on the top of the frame to better transfer the hitting force to the badminton. [Second-generation Elastic Nanocarbon]: The second-generation Elastic Nanocarbon* is a new type of carbon with the characteristics of rapid deformation and rebound. The outer layer of carbon nanotubes is combined with carbon fiber to reduce energy loss and enhance resilience.
The ASTROX 88D PRO is designed with a focus on power concentration in the sweet spot, aiming to enhance the power of smashes. The racket frame features an added weight distribution on both sides, known as the Gravity Stabilization System, which is intended to improve stability during play and thus deliver more forceful smashes. The shaft is crafted from UltraPEF, an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, which is lightweight enough to float on water yet capable of withstanding immense power. These properties allow for maximum shock absorption. The frame is made of high elasticity carbon + carbon fiber rubber + tungsten, while the shaft consists of high elasticity carbon + the second generation elastic new dimension carbon + ULTRA-polyethylene fiber. The racket weight is available in 3U and 4U, with a length of 675mm. The grip sizes range from G4 to G6, and the shaft flexibility is hard. The recommended string tension for 3U is 21-29LBS, and for 4U it is 20-28LBS. The balance point is not specified.
