This is the review I've been searching for - actual racquet play instead of specs review (like most videos). The only confusing part was the random switching of languages, but still good. Thanks.

I thought I regretted buying the A88S Pro, feels heavy and too stiff. Turns out, my grip was too thin, the moment I swap with thicker grip. This racket became a beast in terms of control and smashes. I say its better than AS11 Pro (power wise). Great review from you bro!

[@potatofish2081]

If you were to compare the "Arcsaber 11 Pro" vs the "88D Pro", in terms of the stats below how will u rate them? from 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest? Im currently thinking of buying a new racket but am deciding between this 2. I like to play singles and doubles but Im unsure of stuff like the head heaviness between the arc11 pro and the 88d pro. Is the power of the 11pro something like a 5/10 compared to the 88D pro being a 9/10? etc 1. Smashing Power: 10 is more power 2. Quick Returns: 10 is quicker, faster returns such as during doubles 3. Head Heaviness: 10 is heaviest 4. Control (Drop shots, net play etc.): 10 being more controllable Thanks!!!

[@vsmashsports]

Generally, 88D Pro is the head-heavy racquet, which is able to perform better smashing compared to 11 Pro. While 11 Pro is good in quick returns and control compared with 88D Pro.

Hi, how much power difference in smashing would you say between the s and d? 10%? 20%? Sorry im trying to make sense how much different is it and is the D worth the control sacrifice.

[@vsmashsports]

Smash wise would say the ball goes further for 88D pro, Angle wise 88S pro is sharper. In terms of power would say maybe around 10% stronger or so cause it is slightly heavier than 88S pro.

[@cjmallorca8368]

Hello. I'm planning to buy Astrox 88d pro but I'm lacking in power in smashing. What string and tension would you recommend?Thank you. I'm intermediate player

[@vsmashsports]

BG80, BG 80 Power, 65Ti, 66 Briliant. You may try the tension between 27-29 lbs, depending in your own playing style, example if you are hard hitter, need to choose for thicker string too.

hello im looking to purchase this astrox 88s pro, what string would you recommend for this racket? im fairly a beginner and doesnt have much power to begin with

Hi, just wondering is the 88S pro 4U heavier than AS11pro 3U? And does the shorter racket length of 5mm affect the timing and contact point by alot? I heard some players can never adjust to the 5mm difference and sold off their racket. I play front court and im considering between AS11pro 3U vs 88D pro 4U vs 88S pro 4U. Do u have any to recommend?

[@jerrymei2511]

Front court is a easy 88s pro 4U pick and as it suggests the 88s 4U is of course lighter than the AS11 pro 3U. The 5mm longer and 10mm longer is just racket play difference meaning that the sweet spot hit will vary in height or distance. But definitely get the 88s pro over the 11 pro or the 88d pro if you’re looking for a front court racket

How is 88 D pro in terms of speed ? Do you think it's fast enough to play fast rallies and good defence . Thanks

[@vsmashsports]

88D Pro in terms of speed, it is still there, not really as sluggish as 99 Pro, still able to have fast rallies and good defence, of course it would be easier with 88S pro instead.

[@1Flyingfist]

The 88D Pro was too slow in defence for me. Great for everything else. But when I faced a good player who had the old 88s, I couldn't move the 88D Pro fast enough, to keep. So I went for nanoflare 800. Super fast! But it depends on your arms and technique. You might be fine with the 88D Pro. I felt like it was only good for overhead shots.

[@vsmashsports]

Hi , i have 100zz in my bag , sometimes easily feel tired using it , looking for another racquet , any suggestion ? Thanks

[@vsmashsports]

Perhaps you can try these two racquets, Yonex Astrox 88D Pro, will be easier to handle and won't wore you out quickly. If needed can consider Astrox 77 as well, which has higher shaft flex. Hence won't be needing so much energy during your game.

[@singgihsuhariyanto8563]

The problems with 100zz are that it has compact frame and very stiff shaft and also head heavy. Those combination can be a burden if you dont have a very good technique. A compact frame and very stiff shaft make it hard enough to generate power and hit the sweet spot. So my suggestion is to try a racket with standard isometric head with medium stiff shaft or stiff at maximum and your preferred weight balance, Or improve your technique, strenght and durability.

Been using nf700. Can u compare power of 88s, nf700 and nf800? Still considering to buy. Or should go 100zz instead 😆

[@vsmashsports]

For an upgrade would suggest upgrading to NF800 which have better shot impacts and swiftness due to compact frame and thinner shaft. 88s pro will be slightly heavier so you might get tired quickly when using it. Same goes for 100zz as well but 100zz have the stiffest shaft of all, so will be a very hard feeling when using it. You can try out the racquets first if your communities have those models, best to have a feeling of the racquets first before deciding on it as well 😆

Astrox 88D Pro will be a great choice if you're looking for a comfortable game where you can find a middle ground for all shots but without losing it's power and control.

[@kevinhendrawan7941]

@@vsmashsports but sometimes i like to play drive and go to front to support my partner with more control shot, i think 88d pro more control and fast when i go to front and maybe when i choose 88d pro maybe with 3u version because many review said 99 pro more heavier than 88d pro

is the 88s pro good for singles

[@vsmashsports]

Well, 88s pro can be a single players racquet, but it will lack the attacking power.

[@rizividz7544]

astrox 7 vs astrox 88d game which one is best plz help me

[@vsmashsports]

they are both roughly the same ya just that the cap is different only. but attack wise maybe astrox 88d game is better a bit

[@robeldam]

Hi! Great video! I'm an intermediate player mostly playing singles. I've felt my racket is always limiting me and because of budget I've never invested in a more expensive racket. I'm currently using the arcsaber 11 play but I now have the chance to buy a used 88s pro for a good price. Would you say the switch from as11play to the 88spro is a small or big upgrade?

[@vsmashsports]

in terms of solidness and power, you may consider 88s pro. racquet swings and maneuverability are much more faster

[@majikirOo]

Which is have a better power 88D pro or arc11 pro?

[@vsmashsports]

power wise 88D pro will be better overall

[@aliikram967]

Agreed.. astrox88s pro is best racket ever i have try..

[@vsmashsports]

Great stuff ya haha

i have the 88s not pro. which is better as the all rounder than pro

[@shyhxiangyew3144]

Awesome review 👏 I'm personally still using an old Nanospeed 9900 and I primarily play doubles, would like to up my smashing game since I tend to stay on the rear attacking but probably not as powerful as you, think 88s pro will suit me more right? Tension wise what will you recommend? I usually string with BG66 around 25-27lbs

[@vsmashsports]

Yea Astrox 88S pro would be suitable. As for tension, personally feels that 25-27lbs for BG66 is good enough, anything higher would highly reduce the durability and requires more strength to get the shots right. 25-26 lbs is nice to play with. :)

请问88s pro和88s play是什么分别呢？我是个业余打球的，3年球齡，没有练球的那种，固定双打，多数mid-front位子。也没有用过大牌子的球拍，想入手升级一下自己的武器😂

[@vsmashsports]

Pro is made in japan, while play is made in China. In terms of material and technology both quite different. Pro better a lot.. if like you keen to try better one then go for pro. As play series might almost similar to what you using now. 😀

As front court player..which is better 88S pro or 88D pro ? Tq

[@vsmashsports]

For front court player, 88s pro would be better, it swings faster as compared to 88d pro

[@aozawa6172]

Astrox 88D old still my main racket for now.. but i think i still prefer shorter shaft like yonex muscle power when i borrow my friend's racket.. it feels faster and i can really feel my power when I smash the shuttlecock with yonex muscle power instead of astrox 88D .. i want to change racket that feels similiar to yonex muscle power which has shorter shaft and still powerful when smashing.. should i choose 88D Pro or 88S Pro ? 😖

[@vsmashsports]

Muscle power was one of the decent made by yonex. If like shorter shaft maybe you can go for 88s pro. For me 88s pro named as balance racquet but still generate solid and powerful smashes. The shot exactly drop on your desire.

[@swae7109]

What tali paling sesuai bos?

[@vsmashsports]

Untuk tali, kami akan suggest ambil balik tali yang anda sudah biasa :D. Tapi kalau nak main attack boleh cuba Exbolt 65 atau bg80, control boleh pilih Aerobite atau bg66 series.

Sweet spot untuk dua dua racket ini agak besar dari racket biasa. Jadi senang untuk main dan pukul shuttle untuk kenanyakan skill dan smash. :D

[@dickymaulanahadinata2544]

I'm beginner player. Start playing badminton from zero less than 1 year. I've tried those 2 racquets. 88d pro is more powerfull, but I feel my wrist not strong enough to handle it and quickly got tired. 88s pro is more comfortable for me. Lighter, faster, and still got the power. So my conclusion is, if you have power, stamina, and want more aggresive play, 88d pro will be a right choice. But if you don't have big power and stamina, 88s pro will be more suitable for you. And don't worry, you will still got good power for smash on 88s pro.

[@vsmashsports]

Yup due to the 88d pro much head heavier than the 88s pro

3u or 4u ?

Hi, which is better for smashing and drives, nf800 or ax88spro?

Smashes generally Ax88S Pro will be better and more solid, but drive wise NF800 will be easier and shuttle will travel further with its lightness and sharp frame.
