The Yonex Astrox 88S (AX88S, Skill line) is an offensive racket with an isometric head, with an HM graphite frame, nanometric graphite and tungsten and an HM graphite shaft with Namd. It applies the counterweight theory, distributing weight between the base, the top of the frame and the joint, with a head-heavy balance and stiff flex. It comes in 3U (85-89 g) and 4U (80-84 g) versions, with a G5 grip and a tension of 20 to 29 lbs. The page recommends it for advanced and professional players who control the net and place the shuttle at the front of the court.

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.
