coming from tk ryuga ii, i'm currently using 88s game and i can immediately feel the burden on my hand and heavier swing overall. it doesn't have nearly the same level of agility. however, i can still make up for fast front court exchanges and defenses due to the short length. drives and smashes also have hidden power reserve which if unlocked could make an explosive shot. i eventually in love with it once i'm adapted enough!
Thanks for the review! How’s the quality of the game series compared to play series and tour series? I heard that play and game series have cheap materials. Also, what would you prefer astrox 88D game or astrox 77 tour?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes, all series are made with different materials. The Play series is more affordable but still maintains good quality. If you prefer heavy smashes and an attacking playstyle, go for the 88D Game. Personally, I find the shafts in the Tour series to be extra stiff, which makes them challenging for me to handle. ;)
hi, thanks for this comparison video. Love from India..!! I am playing friendly doubles with friends and taking badminton coaching (singles). Currently, I am using AX 27i Lite (5U) high flex shaft. I want to upgrade to a better one. I am still figuring out My playing style but I find myself 60% smashing and 40% drive/net shots. Can you suggest if I should go with 88D Game or AX Nextage or Lining ?
Hi, thank you for your support! We recommend Astrox 88 Play 3rd Gen series first. They are worth a try, whereas the AX Nextage is stiffer. Once you have leveled up your game, you can move on to the Pro series like the Arcsaber 11 Pro or Astrox 77 Pro. Love from Malaysia! :)
Hello brother , is there a lot of difference between 3rd gen 88 play and 88d game ? I'm a backcourt player who love heavy smashes... My Budget is tight so I'm a little bit confused. Can you please help?
Hi there! For smashes we suggest 88d game as it has more heavier head frame but if you're on a tight of budget 88 play also could help to produce powerful smashes
I am using voltric zforce 2, extra stiff racket for 6-7 years already. Now getting older and feel like moving to less stiffer and less punishing to my arm racket. Would you recommend the 88d tour or game?
Hi, I'm hoping you could help me decide between 88dpro and 88dgame. I'm an intermediate player playing roughly 3times/week, stringing my racket at 26lbs and usually known for ending the rallies with my smashes. I've tried 88dpro 2nd gen but it gets tough playing it due to the stiff shaft and long rallies and also tried 88d play 3rdgen which is great but lacks the solidness feeling. My worries for the 88dpro 3rdgen is the stiffness of the shaft as I also have an injured shoulder.
My personal feeling is the new gen is much more lighter and not too stiff compared to 2nd gen. and the new gen comes with power assist bumper too. Is actually much more easier to handle compared to 2nd gen
I've ordered the 88D Game racquet strung with Exbolt 68 at 26x27 lbs. I'm an intermediate Doubles player so I'm really looking forward to it. Do you think the tension will stay for Exbolt 68 and if it's a good tension for back court doubles player for this string?
@@vsmashsports I tried it out today and yeah, they shots are very crisp and to be honest the repulsion is still very good, I have a lining bo.1 boost 0.66m on the other racket and it actually comes close to it! I have to get used to it through, def a good upgrade for me personally!
Hi Alex, asking for advise from first generation 88s upgrade to 88 series which would be the more recommended? Dpro or Spro, or maybe tour would be the good choice also?
Both model are quite different. AX88D pro equipped with stiff shaft, available in both 3U and 4U. While AX88D game equipped with medium shaft and only available in 4U. In terms of stiffness, AX88D pro has the stiffer shaft compared to AX88D Game. Could you tell what's your playing style?
Hi, I am a beginner with a Arcsaber 7 play and looking for another racket to progress with, deciding between Nanoflare 800 Game and Astrox 88S Game. Which would be a better choice?
If we compare the NF1000 Game with the 88S Game, does it have the same type of play? We know NF1000 has a speed typical of playing and 88S has the same approach too
The new gen 3 equipped with new material and technology, HM Graphite, 2G-Namd™ FLEX FORCE shaft. Expanded sweet sport for better control. Added power assist bumper (attached to enforce heavier frame).
Astrox 88D Tour has a stiffer shaft compared to the Astrox 88D Pro. Maybe able to give powerful smashes. Perhaps you can give it a try before the purchase of Astrox 88D Tour.
@@vsmashsports oh bgitu.. karna 88s game lebih susah pakai ya bos? Kalau buat lob clear dan smash apakah nf 800 game ini sulit dan butuh tenaga besar bos? Mengingat raket ini raket speed.. maaf bos saya ingin supaya tak salah beli raket karena ini raket paling mahal yang akan saya beli..🙏🙏🙏
@@Raimbow-flow tak susah sangat nak pakai. cuma berat sikit banding dengan NF800 Game. AX88S Game adalah kepala berat series, smash power compare dengan NF800 Game.
@@vsmashsports jadi 88s game sangat sesuai untuk all rounder ya bos? Saya khawatir karna raketnya lebih pendek ketika posisi di belakang agak kesulitan mengeluarkan power raket..
@@Raimbow-flow All rounder, Arcsaber series lagi sesuai. Rekomen Arcsaber 11 Play atau Arcsaber 7 Play. 88S Game agak berat, not exactly untuk all rounder.
I currently use the 88D game 2nd gen, should I buy the 88D Game or Tour 3rd gen? My skill level is basically the average intermediate club level badminton player who loves to smash
Terbaik, selalu review yang mantab.... rencana mau ambil 88S game, boleh bandingkan dengan 77 game dan 800game? untuk pemain depan control sesuai mana?
Every tour model is head lighter especially the Astrox models probably that's why the feeling is stiffer. If the head weight was exactly the same as the pro i don't think the difference would be noticeable.
OK now I'm confused. 😅 Is this for 88s Tour as well? I definitely felt relatively headlight (for a head heavy racket) when it arrived. Kinda like how my nanoflare 800 felt more headheavy than I was expecting. (But after switching to thruster f c, the thruster felt like a baseball bat😮.) So will the 88S Pro feel: 1) more head heavy than the 88s Tour? 2) less stiff, more stiff than the 88S tour? Or the same stiffness? Am I likely to get timing issues if I switch between the Tour and Pro versions? 🤔🤔
Hi. We think you have a strong arm then hihi. Yes, most of Tour series are made from rexis shaft material. Technically, both 88s tour and 88 pro have same balanced point and slightly head heavy frame. (Personal feeling I felt tour feels more heavier and stiffer :) )
@vsmashsports Really? I was thinking of cancelling my pro order, just in case it was way stiffer than the Tour that I bought. I wasn't expecting to hear this. 🤔
