Power-focused engineering for stable, continuous back-court attacks.

Combines a solid hitting feel with a quick swing, supporting powerful shots without sacrificing racket speed.

Enlarged Sweet Spot
Developed over 30 years ago, the square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7% compared with a conventional round frame by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. It delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

The ASTROX 88D concentrates power into the sweet spot to enhance shot power. This power-focused design supports the strong smashes and rear-court attacks needed to break down an opponent’s defence.


Using counterbalance theory, weight is distributed throughout the grip end, frame top, and joint to enable smooth transitions between powerful shots for rapid, successive attacks. The POWER-ASSIST BUMPER adds weight to the frame top while fitting seamlessly to reduce air resistance and improve power transfer to the shuttle.
2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE is an advanced graphite material characterized by quick flex and snapback. Its carbon-nanotube structure reduces energy loss, enhances resilience, and maximizes shot power through the shaft.
Additional weight is distributed along the sides of the frame. This four-sided weight distribution improves racket-face stability at impact, reduces power loss, and produces a stronger smash for effective back-court attacks.


The shaft uses Ultra PEF, an ultra-polyethylene fibre that is light enough to float on water yet capable of withstanding immense forces. These characteristics help provide maximum shock absorption.

Thinnest Ever with More Power
The slim shaft is designed to reduce air resistance and generate speedy power. Its construction supports fast recovery and stability during the rapid flex-and-release motion of attacking shots.

A uniquely shaped cap that maximizes shaft performance. The front allows the shaft to flex, while the arch-shaped sides stabilize the racket face by preventing the shaft from twisting.
A tungsten-infused nylon bumper adds weight at the frame top to direct more force into the shuttle. Its seamless shape also reduces air resistance, supporting heavier power and smooth continuous attacks.
