YONEX EZONE 98 Tour Sky Blue Tennis Racquet (7th Gen)

Yonex has introduced the EZONE Tour, a heavier model to the EZONE line, designed for experienced players. This near 12-ounce racquet not only excels at redirecting higher levels of pace but also delivers the needed mass to drive the ball powerfully through the court.

For 2020, Yonex has redesigned the beam for greater stability and made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more forgiving response. The racquet features a Liner Tech system, which reduces string-on-frame friction for extra comfort and power. This technology also includes denser string spacing in the center for control, with wider string spacing on the edges for less shock on off-center hits.

To improve frame stability and optimize the flex at impact, Yonex has added a uniquely strong and elastic graphite, called M40X, to the throat. The racquet also features a Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle for fewer vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact.

On groundstrokes, the EZONE 98 Tour delivers more stability than the 305-gram version, while still managing to provide the explosive acceleration required for loading the ball with spin. At the net, the EZONE 98 Tour redirects higher pace levels with ease, while also delivering surgical targeting for those who like moving their opponents around.

Aggressive servers will find the needed precision to swing for power, and there is more than enough spin-potential to hit effective kickers and slices. This rock-solid stick also shines at the net, where there is enough touch for hitting angles and droppers, along with enough power to hit piercing volleys.

The Yonex EZONE 98 Tour Sky Blue Tennis Racquet (7th Gen.) performs best in the hands of intermediate to advanced players with medium-full strokes. It features ISOMETRIC technology, which generates a 7% larger sweet spot, and Liner Tech for improved power and comfort.

The racquet's O.P.S (Oval Pressed Shaft) design is intended to give players more spin, control, and feel. The AERO Shape Design, with an inverted frame design and a thinner frame face, results in a softer racquet.

The racquet's specifications include a head size of 100 sq.in., a weight of 11.2 oz, and a length of 27.5 in. The beam width ranges from 23.5 mm to 24.5 mm to 19.5 mm. The material used is HM GRAPHITE, 2G-Namd SPEED, and VDM. The color is Sky Blue, and the recommended strings are POLYTOUR PRO, POLYTOUR STRIKE, or REXIS SPEED, with a stringing pattern of 16 x 19 and a stringing advice of 40 - 55 lbs.
