3UHead HeavyStiff2018
Yonex Astrox 88d (Head Heavy, Stiff, 3U) is a racket for advanced players with good technique and swing speed. Its demanding characteristics — a stiff shaft that punishes mistimed shots, a head-heavy balance that needs strong wrist control, a heavier frame that builds fatigue over long rallies — require strong fundamentals to use effectively. Best suited for aggressive singles play and rear-court attacking in doubles.
