Great racket but a bit on the heavier side
Still getting used to it.

The Astrox 88 D Pro is designed specifically for the aggressive doubles player looking to fire powerful smashes from the rear court.
The new Astrox 88 D PRO is forged with a new material, the Volume Cut Resin that can maintain the strength of the material whilst reducing the weight. This provides further flexibility to enhance the Rotational Generator system.
This technology enables the racquet to feel even balance when stationary, but becomes head heavy when you're swinging it.
The Astrox 88 D PRO features the NAMD graphite in the shaft which is a strong and responsive material.
This type of graphite enables the racquet to flex in a way to create a steeper shot angle. Whether you're hitting a smash or a drop shot, you'll notice the steeper shots being produced.
With the Volume Cut Resin (new material), the Astrox 88 D Pro also has the flexibility to evolve its frame to create a more isometric shape.
The new material also helped evolve the frame to create a larger width. This help increase the shuttle speed (more powerful shots) upon impact.
This creates a larger sweet spot, making the racquet even more user friendly. The pros will also notice the benefits of the larger sweet spot especially when stringing at higher tension.

This is a guide for those who are not sure of your stringing tension, based on average figures for men and women. Higher tension gives you more control, lower tension gives you more power. Higher tension makes the string less durable.
