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.
Key features
- NANOMESH NEO – a graphite material that gives good repulsion with a more forgiving feel than the stiffest frames.
- Tungsten in the frame – extra mass near the head adds weight behind smashes and clears.
- Built-in T-Joint – the shaft is set inside the throat of the frame, which keeps the head steady and the shot direction consistent.
- Rotational Generator System – the ASTROX weighting is spread across the grip end, the frame top and the joint, so the racket comes back into position quickly between shots.
- 5 mm longer than standard – a touch of extra reach while staying easy to swing in fast exchanges.

Questions & answers
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.
How long does delivery take, and can I pick it up?
Items in our Australian stock ship Australia-wide, usually within 2–6 business days. You can also contact us to arrange pickup from our shop at 15 Wallace Avenue, Point Cook VIC 3030.
