Yonex Astrox 88S Pro, Tour & Game Badminton Racket Comparison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2024
- The new Yonex Astrox 88 series was launched in March 2021. Surprisingly, in addition to the D and S models, Yonex has introduced “takedown” versions with identical colourways but slightly different features to reflect the price.
This video explains the differences between the three versions of the Astrox 88S called the Astrox 88S Pro, 88S Game and 88S Tour
How do they feel and more importantly, how do they play?

I really love these rackets. Not too heavy, quick but still powerful for smash.
Can u compare the 88D tour to the 88S pro? Someone say they feel very similar... i'm really confused. I ask again cuz u did not answer this question last time :(
Sorry to ask you too many questions 100Game vs 88D Game which is good
Hi Coach Paul, comparing this to NanoFlare 800 that you reviewed previously, which one is more forgiving, easier to use. Is it 88S Pro or NF800?
Good question. This is dependent on your ability to play with stiffer flex rackets. 700 is generally a more forgiving racket
@@TheBadmintonCoach Thanks! Is 88S Pro stiffer than NF800 based on your tests?
@@miguelv2985 I don’t have both rackets but expect they are similar in flex
Hi Paul I just wanted to ask a question.
I am looking for a racket which has powerful smash aswel. Which one would you recommend according to your experience. Do let me know thanks
Each racket will handle power differently and this is down to the user. Some will hit the Game harder because it’s slightly lighter in the head and the shaft is more flexible.
Hey Paul thanks for your reply I’m grateful.
According to your experience what racket would you suggest for best attacking and smashing.
I believe im good on smashing and just want more power on smashing. And like you said each racket handle differently so kindly let me know your recommendation. I will be grateful. Thanks
I really like your reviews sir the way you reviewed in detail I have a small request what is the major difference between 88s Game & 88D Game can you help me with it sir
String pattern is different. Possibly D is more weighted to top of racket
@@TheBadmintonCoach what would be your recommendation btw 88s game vs 88d game for an intermediate player? Anything else different apart from string pattern? For attacking style of play which is better? Thank you
@@ashokarvin1598 good question. I preferred 88D game. I know this racket has been very popular in the UK
victor s12 vs victor ryuga wich best
Sir,im willing to buy new racket, which racket will i prefer astrox 88s pro 4u , 77 or victor z speed 10 , my arm not so strong n i am an intermediate player.i need good handling n control with power. Suggest me if there is another racket
I’ve no idea which racket will suit you. Hopefully you can borrow or test friends rackets to find a racket you enjoy using
I'm eagerly waiting for review of the Astrox 99 pro :D
I will be recording it in a few days
@@TheBadmintonCoach So excited to know your thoughts on the racket. I, for one, am already sold on getting it :D (The possible extra validation from you would be amazing hehe)
@@nix4o493 It will get a good review. I;m enjoying it that much I may switch to it
@@TheBadmintonCoach This is surprising knowing your review of the 100zz :O
Which 4U Game racket do you recommend for doubles play? Rear court player who plays MD & XD. 88S Game? 100 Game? Will have it restrung with BG80 or Aerobite.
I would consider Astrox 100 or 88D
Paul, thank you for your reply. I purchased 100 Game.
Hey Paul would you rather use the 88s pro or the duora z strike for singles?
Whichever racket you feel is best is the only question to answer here
@@chaz8652 I’d rather not play singles! I would use the racket I felt most comfortable with
And I am planning to buy a racket I am an intermediate player for a long I was planning to buy a 100 game, 88d game is an 88s game. little bit confused I really like 100 ZZ but I don't have the budget to go for 100zz can suggest
I haven’t tested 100ZZ Game yet but will soon have both Tour and Game to test. I preferred D Game over S but it merely a personal preference and you need to make your own judgement based on your racket preferences
@@TheBadmintonCoach I really appreciate your quick response sir
Can u compare the 88D tour to the 88S pro? Someone said they feel very similar... i'm really confused
And some store in my country said that the 88s pro is more stiff than the 88s tour. Is it right?
@@interestingman5155 The Pro version appears to be the stiffest and most head heavy version of the racket. Tour is slightly less weight in the head, doesnt have the same material composition although looks identical. Game is medium flex and lighter in the head again
I have both 88S Pro and 88D Tour. In my experience, 88D Tour is still forgiving and easier to use than 88S Pro, but if you are front-count player and like to play with more speed, I prefer 88S Pro rather than 88D Tour.
And is it worth for upgrade from the tour to the pro?
For the price difference, yes
Was the balance measured unstrung @Paul?
Balance was measured with string
Hello, I have a Yonex Astrox 7 DG, and I would like to change to the Yonex Astrox 88s Tour, is it also good and not too rigid?
Why the Tour version? This will have the same specification as the Pro version. The Game version has more flex
@@TheBadmintonCoach OK, the 88s play looks like the astrox 7DG which is semi-rigid in mind?
@@atrax5978 the play version is the most flexible in the range. I haven’t seen the 7DG to know the specifications, all I know of this racket is that it can be restrung to high tensions
@@TheBadmintonCoach thank you 👍
Will an intermediate player looking for medium flex racket benefit more from the Astrox 77 over the Astrox 88S Game? Purchasing by specs. Want medium flex? Buy a high-end model. On a budget? Buy Game models.
Yes the Game versions will give you medium flex and little less head weight. Most likely they will be more user friendly for intermediate players or for those on a budget, superb value for money.
Paul, thank you for your reply. I purchased 100 Game. I found the Pro versions of 88S & 88D too head heavy. Definitely can feel when I miss or hit the sweet spot on the 100 Game.
@@TheHi-T Hello. Do you recommend 100 game? I am not an attacking player, play with control but want lil head heavy racket only . Not proper head heavy
@@BORKARKIRAN I could not play a full session with the Astrox 100 Game. I get tired really fast. I switched over to the Arcsaber 7 series: Pro, Tour, & Play. Good control & faster but less overhead smash power. At least, I can smash repeatedly. Drives & punch clears are great. Players on a budget, I'd recommend getting the Tour. Play is in my bag as a spare or when I am randomly partnered with someone who swings at everything. I used to play with Duora; smash is more powerful than the Arcsaber 7.
