YONEX Ezone 100L Tennis Racquet (Aqua/Night/Black, 285g Unstrung)

YONEX Ezone 100L Tennis Racquet

Description

The Ezone 100L Tennis racquet takes the lively and spin-friendly precision of the standard Ezone 100 (300g) and puts it into a lighter, faster package. In addition to being a great option for the intermediate player, this speedy racquet should also help the dedicated beginner rise to the next level. For this generation, YONEX has not only redesigned the beam's cross-section for greater stability and comfort, but it has also made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more responsive and luxurious feel. New technologies include a Liner Tech system, which reduces string-on-frame friction for extra comfort and power. This technology also features 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 adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite, called M40X, to the throat. This racquet also features a Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle for fewer harsh vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact. It lacks the stability and plow-through of the heavier Ezone 100, you'll appreciate the raw speed, which makes it easier for you to position the racquet under pressure. The Ezone 100L (285g) also allows you to execute shots in the run or swing bigger when more pace and spin are needed. At the net, this racquet's lightweight will help you stay active, and you'll find enough power to close out points.

All in all, with some impressive updates to the frame construction and feel, the Ezone 100L remains an obvious choice for the intermediate player who wants an easy swinging racquet with phenomenal all-around playability.

Technologies

• 2G-NAMD SPEED: 2G-NAMD Speed is meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled flexibility and power on the court. Its innovative design integrates high-modulus graphite fibers with Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), creating a material that excels in transferring energy with lightning-fast snapback. This synergy between materials ensures that each shot is met with swift and potent responsiveness, empowering players with the speed and agility needed to dominate the game.

• OVAL PRESSED SHAFT: Since its inception in 1969 alongside the T-7000, our inaugural aluminum tennis racquet, the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) has remained a cornerstone feature within our most esteemed racquet lines. Engineered to deliver enhanced spin, control, and tactile feedback, the OPS design revolutionizes the player's experience on the court. By flexing precisely at impact, the shaft extends dwell time, fostering optimal ball contact, while simultaneously mitigating disruptive vibrations. This enduring innovation continues to empower players, elevating their performance and enjoyment of the game.

• VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH: Originally employed in our snowboards to diminish vibrations upon impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) has since found its application across four of our distinguished racquet series. Comprised of a pliable mesh material, VDM envelops the graphite within the grip, serving as a proficient filter for unwelcome vibrations while enhancing touch and precision. This innovative technology seamlessly integrates into the design of our racquets, ensuring players experience heightened control and responsiveness with every stroke, further solidifying our commitment to advancing performance in the realm of sports equipment.

• AERO SHAPE DESIGN FOR A PLUSH FEEL: The concept of aerodynamic shape design for a plush feel in tennis racquets revolves around employing a tapered frame design with thinner faces. This approach aims to enhance the overall comfort and responsiveness of the racquet, imparting a softer feel upon impact with the ball. By reducing the thickness of the frame faces, the racquet can better absorb and disperse the energy from each shot, resulting in a more forgiving and comfortable experience for the player. This design not only improves the feel of the racquet but also contributes to its aerodynamic properties, potentially enhancing maneuverability and swing speed on the court.

• SHAFT DESIGN: To enhance stability and power in racquet design, incorporating a thicker shaft structure with a convex design proves instrumental. This innovative approach effectively minimizes unwanted racquet torque upon off-centered shots, consequently amplifying power output. By mitigating the destabilizing effects of off-center impacts, players experience heightened stability during gameplay, enabling more consistent and potent strikes. The thicker shaft construction, coupled with the convex design, synergistically optimizes performance, empowering players with increased control and efficacy on the court.

• HEAD SHAPE: Yonex racquets are renowned for their innovative isometric head shape, a design feature that significantly enlarges the sweet spot. This enlargement translates to enhanced power and control, even when shots are struck off-center. By distributing string lengths more evenly across the racquet face, the isometric head shape minimizes the loss of power and precision on mishits, offering players greater consistency and confidence in their shots. This technology not only improves performance but also provides a more forgiving experience, making Yonex racquets popular choices among players of all skill levels seeking reliability and effectiveness on the court.
