The back-court counterpart of the 88S Game, with a standard-length medium-flex shaft and a head-heavy balance. An approachable way into the 88D attacking style.

  • Medium shaft is forgiving
  • Good smash power for the price
  • Same look as the Pro
  • Not as sharp or stable as the stiffer Tour/Pro
  • Basic feel compared with the Japan-made frame
  • Head-heavy balance can tire newer players
