Yonex updates its best-selling EZONE series with the EZONE 98 8th Gen 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 Kyrgiosx
-98 square inch head offers plush power and surprising control.
