Description

Yonex updates its best-selling EZONE series with the EZONE 98 8th Gen Demo Tennis Racquet. The Blast Blue colorway is bold and fun; the racquet also has some important performance technological updates. For starters, the length of the top of the frame has been expanded to broaden the sweet spot. The 8th Gen EZONE's slightly wider beam at the top increases the power and responsiveness over the previous generation by almost 5%. The inverted frame structure provides additional flex and ball pocketing to improve the feel. Further refining the feel is a technology called MINOLON. The finely threaded material creates a web-like structure within the graphite shaft to increase vibration dampening. Rounding out the comfort story is Yonex's tried and true VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) inside the racquet handle. The EZONE 98 gives intermediate and advanced players a well-rounded frame that is capable of control, power, and comfort.

Features:

-MINOLON Weave improves vibration dampening by 5.8% of previous-gen

-Endorsed by Jessica Pegula, Ben Shelton, and Nick Kyrgios

-98 square inch head offers plush power and surprising control.

Expert Review

The control-and-comfort EZONE, and the frame Pegula, Shelton and Kyrgios swing. A new-mould 98 with a softer flex, a plush DR-like feel and a stable, higher swing weight, for a stronger player who wants an EZONE's power reined in by control and feel.

Great for: Intermediate to advanced players with big or medium swings who want control, comfort and stability without losing power. The softer flex and the MINOLON and VDM comfort tech deliver a plush, connected feel, the expanded sweet spot forgives, and the higher swing weight keeps it planted and precise. A well-rounded player's frame that finishes points at the net.

Not ideal for: Players who want easy, effortless power or a lighter, more maneuverable frame, and anyone who cannot yet finish a full swing. The EZONE 100 is the easier, more powerful option, and players who want even more mass should look at the EZONE 98 Tour.

I wanted to love it!?

"The sweet spot feels like it’s the size of the ball but when you find it man does it feel good! Also off center bits are weak and launch way higher than the sweet spot. Over all a tough racquet to use in my opinion."

— JOHNATHAN E. (3/5)
