Yonex Astrox 88D Game summary
For years, the Yonex Astrox 88D has been a popular rearcourt racket for doubles games. The Yonex Astrox 88D Game is the intermediate edition of that racket and this page is referring to the 2nd generation of the racket.
In March 2024, the 3rd generation has been released and I’ll update this when I get a chance to test and review that one as well.
Who this racket is best for
The ideal player type is the rearcourt intermediate player who likes power (and a lot of it). If that’s you and you want extra power beyond what you can generate with raw technique, you will likely enjoy playing with this racket.
You can make this racket work at the front court too, but it requires tight control, and the racket feels better suited for power shots from the back.
Who this racket isn’t suitable for
If you prefer working the front court, you’ll likely feel that this racket has too much power to perform controlled shots to truly put your opponents under pressure.
