The single-pass grommet hole construction provides more grommet holes for a more high-performance stringing pattern.

The built-in solid feel core cuts harmful miscellaneous vibration at impact. Solid feel core is carried in all racquets manufactured in Japan.

Making the whole frame flexible allows the Astrox 88S (Skill) to hold the shuttlecock for accurate control, while the Astrox 88D (Dominate) has more flex in the upper part of the frame transmitting maximum power to the shuttlecock to break through the opponents. In addition the overall length of the 88S is only 5mm longer, which enhances both accuracy and power while the 88D is 10 mm longer to provide powerful attacks.

The new shape of Yonex Astrox D allows the shaft to flex, which ensures the maximum effect of Namd (more flex and faster kick-back graphite material) and stabilizes the racquet face by preventing the shaft twisting, increasing control

By applying the counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top and the joint for maximum control. The transition to the next shot can be performed smoothly with a rapid succession.
