Astrox 88D Tour: Geoffrey's review
The Astrox 88D Tour is the more accessible version of the 88D Pro. It retains the same role: making you the player who finishes points from the back of the court in doubles.
What you will feel
A stiff, head-heavy racket that adds weight to your smashes and length to your clears. Compared to the Pro, it is slightly more forgiving, which helps a lot when you are stringing attacks together and are not always perfectly positioned.
For whom?
Intermediate and expert players who play doubles, with a back-court attacker profile, and who want a competition racket without the Pro's price tag. 4U weight (83 g).
My advice
Between 11 and 12 kg. The Exbolt 65 is a great choice to maintain speed in rallies.
You choose your string, your tension, the color of your overgrip, and even your name on the shaft directly above: I will prepare it in the workshop and it will ship ready to play.
