Name: Yonex EZONE 98L 7th gen.
SKU: 276903

The 7th generation of EZONE racquets from Yonex are here with improved power and feel! The EZONE 98L is a softer-feeling players racquet suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking to dominate with controllable power and comfort. The EZONE 98L is easier to handle than the heavier 98.

At 98 square inches, the slighty smaller than average head size will provide a higher degree of control due to its more controllable sweet spot with a slight reduction of the trampoline effect. Its open string pattern should allow players easier access to spin and power. The weight, being an average 10.1 ounces unstrung, will provide players with a balance of manoeuvrability and stability for an easier swinging experience that will still stand up to bigger shots. The balance is slightly head heavy which assists in maintaining stability and power for this weight class. The racquet's flexibility is average which should provide a blend of stability and feel.

On the technology side, for the 7th generation of EZONEs, Yonex has implemented 2G-Namd material technology for improved energy transfer through the frame for a higher degree of "snapback" which brings easier access to its power. Yonex has also slightly increased the beam width to improve on stability and feel.

This version of the EZONE 98L is great option for those looking for a player's frame with a forgiving feel with an easier swinging experience. The control achieved with this frame is exceptional and paired with the improved plush feel and Yonex's quality of design should mean this will be a popular frame and easy recommendation!

ISOMETRIC - 7% LARGER SWEET SPOT: Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design 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.
LINER TECH - For Improved Power and Comfort: Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.
O.P.S (Oval Pressed Shaft): First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 - our first aluminum tennis racquet - the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into our 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 our snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four of our 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.
2G-Namd Speed - IMPROVED FEEL AND BALL SPEED: A high modulus graphite fibers are bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss, which enables to transfer the energy into quick snapback.
AERO SHAPE DESIGN - FOR A PLUSH FEEL: An inverted frame design with a thinner frame face results in a softer racquet.
SHAFT DESIGN - FOR IMPROVED S TABILITY AND POWER: A thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centered shots for added power.
