YONEX Ezone 98 Tennis Racquet

Yonex's EZONE racquet line has received some exciting updates for 2022. The new 7th generation EZONE series has been updated from the 2020 version. Like previous generations of the Yonex EZONE 98 7th Gen, the racquet remains an easy-swinging player's frame that offers excellent feel, spin, and stability. The Yonex EZONE 98 7th Gen Tennis Racquet now comes with a striking new blue colorway update, inviting players to take to the court with the "Easy One."

Yonex has implemented 2G-NAMD Speed graphite into the frame, providing enhanced ball speed without sacrificing comfort. The company has also updated the shaft design for improved stability and power. The thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centered shots, resulting in added power. Additionally, the Yonex EZONE 98 7th Gen Tennis Racquet includes Vibration Dampening Mesh within the handle of the frame, which helps reduce shock.

Overall, the EZONE 98 7th Gen places power firmly into the players' hands, allowing for additional ball speed. This frame is an impressive option for the intermediate to advanced player with a faster swing, looking for excellent feel, spin, stability, and precision.

The ISOMETRIC design, developed over 30 years ago, increases the sweet spot by 7%*. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped ISOMETRIC racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. ISOMETRIC technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

The Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS), first introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 – Yonex's first aluminum tennis racquet, is still incorporated into the company's most popular racquet series today. The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimizing vibrations.

Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM), first used in Yonex snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, is now used in four of the company's racquet series. VDM is a stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.

Liner Tech Grommet & String System features straighter grommet holes for less string on racquet friction. It also includes optimal string spacing for greater control in the hitting zone and more forgiveness on off-center hits.

Finally, 2G-NAMD SPEED is a high modulus graphite fiber bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss and enabling the quick transfer of energy into a snapback.
