Mini Review (follow link): Yonex Ezone 98 - Mini Review

Yonex advances some exciting updates to their EZONE racquet line for 2022. This new 7th generation EZONE racquet series has updated the 2020 version. Like previous generations of the EZONE 98; the racquet remains an easy-swinging player’s frame that offers excellent feel, spin, and stability. The EZONE 98 (305G) comes with a striking new blue colorway update. Take to the court today with the “Easy One”.

Yonex implements 2G-NAMD Speed graphite into the frame provides enhanced ball speed without sacrificing comfort. Yonex 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 for added power. The EZONE 98 (305G) includes Vibration Dampening Mesh within the handle of the frame which helps reduce shock.

Overall, the EZONE 98 (305G) 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 EZONE 98 is the heaviest offering within this new updated EZONE racquet series. Endorsed by Nick Kyrigos & Naomi Osaka. The racquet itself comes packed with a 98 square inch head, 11.7 ounce strung weight, & an open 16x19 string pattern.
