The latest Ezone from Yonex is the EZONE 98 Tour Deep Blue Tennis Racquet. The sixth generation EZONES have a new strong, yet elastic material in the throat called M40X. The graphite material improves the racquet’s flex while maintaining the tour level stability which is a hallmark of the EZONE franchise. Yonex improved the comfort of the EZONE series by adding Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) in the handle. The material filters out unwanted vibrations without overly muting the response. The sweet spot of the EZONE is massive do to Yonex’ Isometric head shape. With this version, the head is slightly wider at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions to create the largest sweet spot in the history of the EZONE family. By subtly varying the outer angle of the aero-shaped frame, the middle and upper portion of the racquet head remain plush, while the lower hoop is stable. Yonex carries over their Liner Tech string technology from the previous version by using straight hole grommets to elongate the strings. The result is more power and comfort, even when missing the sweet spot.
The EZONE 98 Tour is 11.1 ounces unstrung, so it will play with more stability than the standard EZONE 98. In addition to the heavier weight, Yonex fans can expect a slightly softer flex from the 98 Tour and a slightly more head-heavy balance. The EZONE 98 Tour is the most control oriented EZONE model to date and if you loved the unique feel of the EZONE racquets but wanted a more stable option, the Tour is an excellent choice
