Description
The Yonex Astrox 88S Game is designed for the front to mid-court player, who is looking to dominate the court with a skilful attacking game, whilst being a more affordable option compared to the 88D Pro and Tour versions. Featuring a slim rexis shaft, which will cut through the air quicker, allowing for a stronger, more intense shot.
The 88S Game has a medium flex on the shaft which allows the shuttle to stay on the string bed longer, increasing your acceleration and power through the shuttle.
Technology:
Aero+Box Frame: A combination of faster swing speeds and a solid feel.
Isometric – Increases the size of your sweet spot.
Rotational Generator System + 2G Nanomesh Neo: By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is carefully distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and joint, enabling smooth transition between powerful shots for rapid, successive attacks. The innovative graphite “2G-NANOMESH NEO” used in the shaft, characterised by its quick flex and snapback, maximises shot power and advances the performance of the Rotational Generator System.
Power-Assist Bumper: Boosted power with a tungsten-infused weighted bumper, adding 55%* more weight than conventional grommets. Enhances the Rotational Generator System, quickly transferring more weight to the shuttle.
Super Slim Shaft: Designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power.
Energy Boost Cap Plus – A specially shaped cap allows for the front of the shaft to flex while the sides are stabilised which prevents the racket face twisting
Please note, that no head cover is supplied with this racket.

Choose your string
String choice is incredibly important as the string is what makes contact with the shuttle. There’s a number of factors to take into account, such as construction, gauge, tension. A thinner gauge string will pull up tighter, increasing the potential for more power and control, but durability will be sacrificed. Below we’ve put together a short description for the range of strings that we offer. If you have any questions about string choice please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
| Yonex Aerobite 0.67mm x 0.61mm: | A hybrid combination with alternating gauges and coatings. Your main string is textured with a rough feel to it allowing the string to grip the shuttle more for those precise cut smashes or hairpin net shots. Whilst your cross string is ‘Aerosonic’ providing you with ultimate power and a high hitting sound. The ultimate combination! |
| Yonex Aersonic 0.61mm: | The world’s thinnest string provides you with maximum power and an extremely high hitting sound. Featuring a new “compact filled” construction which has allowed the gaps between the core and outer threads to be filled with resin to provide extra durability for such a thin gauge! |
| Yonex BG65Ti 0.70mm: | Our best selling string, suitable for a variety of players from beginners to advanced competitors. A titanium coating on the string increases durability and also enhances the power you can generate from the string. Still used by many of the world’s top players. |
| Yonex BG66 Ultimax 0.65mm: | A perfect balance of speed, control and durability. One of our most popular strings that is being used at the moment. High intensity multifilament and a thin gauge offers more power and control, but you will sacrifice durability. It also offers a very crisp hitting sound. |
| Yonex BG68Ti 0.68mm: | A thinner, more control orientated version of BG65Ti. A titanium coating on the string increases durability and also enhances the power you can generate from the string. |
| Yonex BG80 0.68mm: | Suited for the harder hitters, this string has a high Modulus Vectran Fibre coiled around the multi-filament construction to give better tension maintenance and reduce string movement. |
| Yonex BG80 Power 0.68mm: | Suited for the harder hitters, this string has a high Modulus Vectran Fibre coiled around the multi-filament construction to give better tension maintenance and reduce string movement. Offers a more solid, hard feel compared to BG80. |
| Yonex Exbolt 0.63mm | Forged fibre generates a high hitting sound on powerful smashes and clears. A combination of quick repulsion and durability. |
| Yonex Exbolt 0.65mm | A specially braided forged fibre enhances durability whilst the high intensity nylon multifilament offers a solid feel for powerful smashes. |
