Yonex Astrox 88S Tour - Technical Review & Full Performance Breakdown

The Yonex Astrox 88S Tour is a high-performance badminton racket crafted for advanced players demanding aggressive play, rapid transitions and excellent front-court responsiveness. Built with a stiff flex shaft and an extended length (5 mm longer than standard), the 88S Tour delivers explosive smash power and fast repulsion.

Available in both 4U (approx 83 g) and 3U (approx 88 g) variants, and grips G5/G6 (4U) or G4/G5/G6 (3U), the racket supports higher tension setups - up to 28 lbs for 4U and 29 lbs for 3U.

The head-heavy balance enhances offensive manoeuvrability and smash angle, while premium materials like HM Graphite, CSR/Tungsten and 2G-Namd™ Flex Force technology create a crisp feel and dynamic shot response.

Whether you specialize in front-court drives, rapid doubles rallies or powerful clears, the Astrox 88S Tour offers the versatility, speed and performance required to elevate your game.
