The Yonex Astrox 88 Play is a modern badminton racket, with excellent power and very fast transitions to the next shot, designed for beginners and intermediates with an offensive style. It has a medium-flex shaft and head-heavy balance to generate power easily. The Power Assist Bumper at the top of the frame adds weight to reinforce the rotation effect, and the Rotational Generator System speeds up transitions between attack and defense without losing control.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%45
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
