The ASTROX 88 S GAME is a medium-flex version of YONEX's front-court doubles racket, slightly shorter than the 88 D for faster handling at the net. It suits intermediate players who like to take the shuttle early, play quick drives and set up the attack for their partner.

Is this racket better for attack, control or all-round play?
Quick, front-court attacking play with good control in drives and net exchanges.
What weight and grip is it?
We offer it in 3U G5 or 4U G5. 3U means an unstrung frame weight of 85–89 g. 4U means an unstrung frame weight of 80–84 g. G5 is one of the thinner YONEX grip sizes (thinner than G4).
What string tension do you recommend?
For the 4U frame, string at or below 28 lbs and don't go above 28 lbs.
Does it come strung, and can you string it for me?
If you want to confirm whether it is supplied strung, contact us before ordering. We can string it for you: on this page choose "Add professional stringing", then pick your string and tension, or choose "Keep original condition" to leave it as supplied. Shop stringing starts from $24 with string included (YONEX BG65 $27, BG65Ti $29, BG80/Exbolt/Nanogy $30, Aerobite $32, Aerobite Boost $34). Regular in-store stringing is ready for pickup after 4 days; a faster service is available for a fee when we have capacity.
