On right now’s video I’m reviewing the third era Yonex Astrox 88s Professional.
As you’ll be able to see that is type of metallic silver, black and like an aquamarine decals. It’s a stiff flex head heavy racket, however I might say the pinnacle 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 nations there shall be probably the complete vary with the 3u and the 4u and the completely different grip sizes. As you’d think about with these rackets now and Yonex there may be additionally a Tour model, the Sport model and the Play model.
So how does this racket play?
Effectively I discovered it actually good enjoyable to play with. It’s weighty sufficient which you can really feel the pinnacle and you’ll 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 type of web work, after I’m doing numerous feeding there or after I’m feeding for defence. It’s been completely very good for that.
It’s additionally actually highly effective too. So there are some individuals who simply can’t swing a very head heavy racket and get one of the best from it. So this can be the reply for you. If you’re on the lookout for one thing the place it’s essential to really feel the pinnacle weight, however you simply don’t just like the actually heavy responsibility rackets, then this may increasingly 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 pinnacle form itself. And so it’s virtually gone again to the unique head form. I additionally really feel that there’s a type of change right here within the aerodynamics, and the carbon feels very completely different to that utilized in earlier variations of this racket and doubtless extra consistent with that we discovered within the Arcsaber 11 Professional.
It’s received a type of sharpness to it, a sleekness to it, and that every 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 when you needed one thing a bit bit lighter then perhaps that shall 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 very good good friend. 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’d 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 type of head heavy racket which is nice in protection, nice across the web as nicely, however you need some head weight for the rear court docket then this can be your go to racket, and I’d strongly advocate you give it a check at one in all your centres as quickly as you’ll be able to.
Unbelievable racket and I can’t think about this not being in my bag for a while to come back.
