On in the present day’s video I’m reviewing the third era Yonex Astrox 88s Professional.
As you possibly can see that is form of metallic silver, black and like an aquamarine decals. It’s a stiff flex head heavy racket, however I might say the top weight is extra in the direction of this a part of the racket than it’s, distributed on the prime finish.
It is a 4u g5 model and the UK there’s additionally a 3u g4, however in different international locations there will probably be presumably the total vary with the 3u and the 4u and the completely different grip sizes. As you’ll think about with these rackets now and Yonex there’s additionally a Tour model, the Recreation model and the Play model.
So how does this racket play?
Nicely I discovered it actually good enjoyable to play with. It’s weighty sufficient you could really feel the top and you may management it, however to not the extent that it might be thought of a little bit of a hindrance or a fatiguing racket.
I discovered it nice for all of the form of web work, once I’m doing a number of feeding there or once I’m feeding for defence. It’s been completely excellent for that.
It’s additionally actually highly effective too. So there are some individuals who simply can’t swing a extremely head heavy racket and get the most effective from it. So this can be the reply for you. If you’re on the lookout for one thing the place you must really feel the top weight, however you simply don’t just like the actually heavy responsibility rackets, then this may occasionally slot in your class rather well.
That is additionally very very completely different from the 2nd era and extra consistent with the first era in respect of the top form itself. And so it’s nearly gone again to the unique head form. I additionally really feel that there’s a form of change right here within the aerodynamics, and the carbon feels very completely different to that utilized in earlier variations of this racket and possibly extra consistent with that we discovered within the Arcsaber 11 Pro.
It’s bought a form of sharpness to it, a sleekness to it, and that each one helps very properly within the precise hitting of your shuttle. So for me I discovered it very very maneuverable. I’d say it’s a bit bit heavier than the Arcsaber 11 Professional, so should you wished one thing a bit bit lighter then possibly that will probably be your go to racket.
However for me I do like a bit little bit of head weight and I discovered this to be a extremely good buddy. I’ve used it for fairly a while now, it’s strung in Exbolt 68 at a rigidity of 28lbs and it strung up fantastically as you’ll think about it will do, and has carried out admirably for each process I’ve set it. A lot in order that this has been a continuing companion in my bag because it was launched in March 2024.
So in case you are on the lookout for that sort of head heavy racket which is nice in protection, nice across the web as properly, however you need some head weight for the rear courtroom then this can be your go to racket, and I’d strongly advocate you give it a take a look at at certainly one of your centres as quickly as you possibly can.
Improbable racket and I can’t think about this not being in my bag for a while to return.
There will probably be an extra video to evaluation this in opposition to the 88D Professional, and in addition to evaluation it in opposition to the earlier model, the second era model.
