Yonex Astrox 88 D/Y 2018 New Badminton Racket (88D Ruby Red, Unstrung)

YONEX is proud to announce the launch of two new badminton racquets in March. Uniquely designed for the doubles specialist, the ASTROX 88 S is targeted at enhancing the SKILL of the front court player while the ASTROX 88 D is aimed at allowing the back court player to DOMINATE the opposition. ASTROX 77 uses a worlds-first, new dimension graphite material, Namd, which greatly improves the adhesion of the graphite fibres and resin by attaching nanomaterial directly to the graphite fibre. In high performance racquets, it is common to combine nanomaterials with resin that connects graphite fibres, but in Namd, nanomaterials are directly adhered to the graphite fibres and resin is greatly increased. This major improvement produces a shaft that flexes and stores energy, delivering explosive force on impact with the shuttle.
