Yonex Astrox 88 Play Badminton Racket (2024)

The Yonex Astrox 88 Play Badminton Racket is a versatile and accessible option for players who want a balance between power and control, especially in doubles play. As part of the Astrox 88 series, it’s designed for intermediate and casual players, offering many of the key technologies of its higher-end counterparts, but at a more affordable price point. This racket is ideal for players seeking powerful backcourt smashes and better control in fast rallies, thanks to its head-heavy balance and medium flex.

Racket Range Overview

The Yonex Astrox 88 series is renowned for its focus on power, control, and versatility. While the Play version offers a more affordable option with similar core technologies, the Tour and Pro versions provide enhanced performance features, catering to more advanced players. The Play version is a great entry point into the Astrox 88 range, providing recreational and intermediate players with an opportunity to enjoy professional-level technology without the premium price tag.

Technical Specifications

Headsize: Isometric
String Tension: 20-28 lbs
Weight: 4U (approx. 83g)
Length: 10mm longer than standard
Balance: Head-heavy
Strung/Unstrung: Pre-strung

Pro/Player Review

The Yonex Astrox 88 Play is an excellent choice for players transitioning from casual play to a more competitive level. Its head-heavy balance and medium flex provide a good blend of power and control, particularly for rear-court smashes and long clears. The Rotational Generator System helps with quick transitions between offensive and defensive shots, making it easier to react during fast-paced rallies.

However, some players may find it difficult to control delicate shots at the net, as the racket may overshoot if not handled carefully. It is best suited for players who favour backcourt domination and aggressive smashes in doubles or singles play.

Q & A

Question	Answer
Who is the Yonex Astrox 88 Play best suited for?	This racket is ideal for beginner to intermediate players looking for a balanced mix of power and control, especially in doubles play where quick transitions are key.
What is the main difference between the Play version and the higher-end models like the Tour or Pro?	The Play version is more affordable and designed for accessibility, offering similar technologies to the Pro and Tour models, but with a more flexible frame and slightly lower performance specifications.
Does the racket come pre-strung?	Yes, the Yonex Astrox 88 Play typically comes pre-strung, but you can adjust the string tension to match your play style, with a recommended range of 20-28 lbs.
Is the head-heavy balance suitable for net play?	While the head-heavy balance favours powerful shots from the backcourt, some players may find it slightly less responsive for delicate net play or drops. However, with practice, you can adjust to its strengths.
