🏸 Yonex Astrox 88D Pro Badminton Racket – Back-Court Power, Perfected
Made in Japan | Doubles Back-Court Specialist | Explosive Smash Authority
As used by YouTube sensation CKYEW
The Yonex Astrox 88D Pro is purpose-built for aggressive doubles players who dominate rallies from the rear court. As the flagship power model in the Astrox 88 series, this Made in Japan racket delivers crushing smash power, exceptional stability, and uncompromising precision—exactly what high-level doubles demands.
Engineered with advanced materials and intelligent weight distribution, the Astrox 88D Pro rewards decisive attacking play while maintaining control in fast exchanges. Endorsed and used by CKYEW, it’s trusted by players who want heavy hits, clean timing, and confidence under pressure.
🔥 Why Choose the Yonex Astrox 88D Pro?
💥 Back-Court Smash Dominance
Designed for players who control points from the back, the Astrox 88D Pro generates steeper angles and heavier shuttle penetration. The longer frame and head-heavy balance combine to deliver authoritative power without sacrificing recovery speed.
🎯 Stability You Can Trust
High torsional stability keeps the racket face solid through impact, even at higher string tensions. This translates to more consistent accuracy on full-blooded smashes, punch clears, and pressured counter-attacks.
⚡ Power with Precision
Unlike one-dimensional power rackets, the 88D Pro maintains excellent feel and feedback. You get explosive output when you commit—without losing control in fast doubles exchanges.
⚙️ Key Technologies & Performance Features
🌀 Rotational Generator System
Optimised weight distribution across the frame, shaft, and grip improves swing recovery and balance—crucial for repeated attacks and quick transitions in doubles.
🔩 Power-Assist Bumper (Tungsten Infused)
Adds weight at the top of the frame to increase shuttle hold and energy transfer, resulting in heavier, more penetrating smashes.
🏗️ Compact Frame Reinforcement (CFR)
Strengthens the frame at key points to reduce distortion and improve stability without adding unnecessary bulk.
🚀 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE Shaft
Enhances shaft flex and snapback speed, delivering faster power release and sharper shot response.
💨 Ultra Slim Shaft
Reduces air resistance for quicker swing speed and improved reaction time in flat exchanges and defence.
🎯 ISOMETRIC™ Technology
Enlarges the sweet spot for more consistent performance on off-centre hits—especially valuable under pressure.
