Yonex Astrox 88D Pro (3rd gen) vs Yonex Astrox 88S Pro (3rd gen)
Two head-heavy rackets from Yonex's range, lined up spec by spec from the makers' published figures. Rows marked in red are where they differ; the notes underneath say what each difference means on court.
Astrox 88D Pro (3rd gen)
Built for the rear-court doubles player who wants weight behind the smash but still needs to swing quickly in fast rallies. The stiff shaft and slightly longer frame suit advanced players with a confident, full swing.
Full specs →Astrox 88S Pro (3rd gen)
The front-court sibling of the 88D: mildly head-heavy but quicker through the air, aimed at doubles players who live at the net and mid-court. Suits advanced players who want fast drives and interceptions with enough weight to finish.
Full specs →Where they differ
- Both are head-heavy frames with a stiff shaft, so the one difference below is what separates them.
- Play style tags differ: Yonex Astrox 88S Pro (3rd gen) also carries the speed tag, which Yonex Astrox 88D Pro (3rd gen) does not. The tags come from the maker's positioning and the balance and flex above, not from our own play-testing.
Balance, flex, weights, grips, tension and materials come from the manufacturers' published specifications; the level, play-style tags and typical prices are our own database fields and are labelled as such. We do not rate rackets we have not measured. Shaft flex and balance are the makers' own categories, so compare them within a brand with more confidence than across brands. Our head-heavy vs head-light guide and string tension guide explain what the categories mean on court.
