  • What's good about this racket is how easy it is to handle. On YONEX's matrix chart it's placed as slightly top-heavy, but it's not like that at all, and the swing is quite light.
    The shaft isn't too stiff like other advanced models; it's a stiffness anyone with basic technique and fitness can use comfortably. It's also easy on the body.
    If I had to name a drawback, people with fast swing speeds will probably find it lacking. It handles every technique competently, but it doesn't have any standout features. If your swing is fast, you'll get more power from a racket with a stiffer shaft and heavier head. The recommended tension is also low, up to 24 lbs.
    It doesn't have the flashiness of the latest models, but because it's so easy to handle, I think it's a wonderful racket. With this racket I rediscovered how fun matches are. I hope people who want to keep getting better will choose it.
    I'm writing this here in March 2019, and it looks like it'll be discontinued soon. It's a real shame, but I chose the 4U ASTROX 88S as my next racket. The 3U 88S was too heavy, but with the 4U I could use it without any discomfort. I hope this helps anyone looking for a successor model. I plan to use it a bit more and write a review of that one too.
