A new dawn is here for doubles players with the introduction of the brand new ASTROX 88 S and ASTROX 88 D. With defensive techniques evolving rapidly, scoring points has never been more difficult. The ASTROX 88 S and D models are designed to overcome this challenge. The release of the PRO model will be accompanied by models for every skill level, ASTROX 88 S/D TOUR, GAME and ASTROX 88 PLAY for beginners.

The ASTROX 88 S allows for decisive front court attacks, while the ASTROX 88 D breaks down defenses with back court attacks. New technologies are introduced in this 3rd generation ASTROX 88 S/D as well as enhancements in the ASTROX series acclaimed Rotational Generator System. Advancing the Rotational Generator System further, a POWER-ASSIST BUMPER was added to the top of the frame, the extra weight enhances power transfer to the shuttle. The newly shaped POWER-ASSIST BUMPER fits seamlessly onto the racquet, reducing air resistance.

In the new PRO and TOUR models 2G-Namd Flex Force* was implemented throughout the shaft to maximize shot power. 2G-Namd Flex Force is a new graphite characterized by its quick flex and snapback capabilities. Combined with the newly enhanced Rotational Generator System, the rapid flex and snapback allows for continuous attacks and a new dawn for doubles players.

Regarding the differences for each model, the ASTROX 88 S focuses on control and maneuverability for fast rallies on the front court while increasing power. The ASTROX 88 S is 5 mm longer and has the added benefit of an expanded sweet spot for precise control. The complimenting ASTROX 88 D, 10 mm longer in length, focuses on back-court power, ultimately enhancing overall power shots from the back court to break the opponent’s defense. Added benefits for the ASTROX 88 D include a concentrated sweet spot and additional weight on the sides of the frame. This weight distribution on all four sides of the frame improves stability at impact for an overall stronger smash.

TECHNOLOGY

	Namd Revolutionary Graphite A world-first, new dimension graphite material, Namd, greatly improves the adhesion of the graphite fibers and resin by attaching nanomaterial directly to the graphite fiber.In high performance racquets, it is common to combine nanomaterials with resin that connects graphite fibers, but in Namd, nanomaterials are directly adhered to the graphite fibers and resin is greatly increased. This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttle.
	AERO + BOX Frame Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.
	ISOMETRIC Enlarged Sweet Spot ISOMETRIC^TM technology continues to help the world’s greatest players achieve global success. Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC^TM design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC^TM racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC^TM delivers greater control without sacrificing power. ISOMETRIC^TM is a Trademark of Yonex CO., LTD. Tested by Yonex
	ROTATIONAL GENERATOR SYSTEM ASTROX 88 SERIES TECHNOLOGIES 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-NamdTM Flex Force” used in the shaft, characterized by its quick flex and snapback, maximizes shot power and advances the performance of the Rotational Generator System.
	Control Support CAP Sharp Maneuverability The control support cap provides an 88% wider flat surface compared with an ordinary racquet for easier gripping, fast follow-through and the sharpest maneuverability.
	STABILITY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION The added weight distribution on the sides of the frame enhances stability during the swing, resulting in maximized smash power. And allowing for the effective breakdown of defenses during back-court attacks.
	Ultra PE Fiber Lightweight fibers that withstand immense forces while absorbing unwanted shock and vibrations.
	Ultra Slim Shaft Thinnest Ever with More Power Designed to slice through the air, generating speedy power.
