Yonex EZONE 2020 98L Tennis Racquet 4 1/8

Yonex presents its 2020 version of the EZONE 98L (285g). Like its predecessor, this racket also has a relatively compact head of 632 cm², which gives it the kind of control that ensures more confidence when the match enters the decisive phase. At 285 grams, the EZONE 98L (285g) is ideal for advanced players looking for a precise and spin-friendly weapon that moves with remarkable ease. For 2020, Yonex has not only redesigned the frame for more stability, but also made the hitting area slightly larger for an even more forgiving response. New technologies include a Liner Tech system that reduces friction of the strings on the frame for added comfort and performance. This technology also features tighter string spacing in the middle to ensure hit control. A larger string spacing further out reduces the impact shock of balls hit off-center. To improve the stability of the frame and optimize the flex of the racket at impact, Yonex adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite in the heart of the racket, called M40X. This racket also features a vibration dampening mesh in the handle for reduced vibration and a cleaner feel. When playing from the baseline, the EZONE 98L (285g) is easier to swing than the standard EZONE 98, but offers very decent stability for its weight class. The power is sufficient, but not overwhelming. But the high level of control should boost your confidence in tight game situations. The simple acceleration not only leads seamlessly to more speed and spin, but also helps when acting from defense or when executing winning shots on the run. When playing at net, this racket offers great touch and the quick handling will help you with reaction volleys. Ultimately, this impressive update remains a great option for advanced players looking for a highly accurate, spin-friendly and easy-to-swing racket.
