Model AX-88SGAME
Where to find it
88S character, accessible price: Astrox 88 S Game
The accessible 88S
The AX-88S Game delivers the 88S balance profile and playing character at a reduced price point, with standard HM Graphite construction replacing the NAMD of the Pro tier. Taiwan-manufactured, medium-flex, slightly head-heavy — it gives developing and intermediate players access to the 88S handling philosophy without the flagship price.
Balance profile over materials
Without NAMD, the AX-88S Game relies on its balance profile and Rotational Generator geometry to deliver the fast frontcourt feel of the 88S line. The slightly head-heavy balance still biases toward net-play speed and compact frontcourt exchanges, teaching the 88S movement patterns before a player commits to Pro-level pricing.
Who it's for
Intermediate doubles players who want to explore the AX-88S balance type before investing in the Pro model. A natural training racquet for players with aspirations toward the AX-88S Pro.
