Where to find it
Front-court speed, pro spec: Astrox 88 S Pro
The current-generation frontcourt weapon
The AX-88S Pro is the 3rd-generation version of Kevin Sanjaya's frontcourt Astrox, rebuilt with Volume Cut Resin and current NAMD for the most refined version of the 88S character yet produced. Japan-made, stiff-flex, slightly head-heavy — the top of the non-ultra-flagship 88S lineage.
Stiff NAMD for frontcourt explosiveness
The stiff flex and NAMD shaft combination gives a sharp, explosive response on net kills and tight-angle drives — faster shuttle departure than the medium-flex 88S Game, and more direct feedback for advanced doubles specialists who rely on precise hand position at the net. Volume Cut Resin keeps the frame from feeling heavy despite the stiff construction.
Who it's for
Advanced doubles front-court players who want current-generation 88S performance. The AX-88S Pro traces a direct line from Kevin Sanjaya's original Off White/Red 88S — the same playing philosophy developed across three generations of material science.
