The 2021 refresh of the front-court 88S: a recessed new frame, thinner shaft, longer handle and a new stringing pattern. It swings faster than the original and, although stiff, feels closer to even-balance than head heavy.
- Quicker and lighter-feeling than the original 88S
- Stiff Japan-made build with strong rear-court power
- Precise at the net
- Slightly less head weight than the original, so a little less 'punch'
- Superseded by the 2024 3rd-gen 88S Pro
- Stiff for slower swings
Where to buy
