YONEX Ezone 98 Plus Tennis Racquet (Unstrung, 305g, Sky Blue)

YONEX Ezone 98 Plus Tennis Racquet

Description

The Yonex EZONE 98 Plus 7th Gen Tennis Racquet gets a new, thicker shaft for improved stability. The convex beam design helps reduce torque on off-center hits for greater power. The 7th generation EZONE adds 2G-NAMD graphite for faster ball speed without sacrificing comfort. The vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) in the handle filters out unwanted vibrations without overly muting the response. The sweet spot of the EZONE feels massive thanks to Yonex’s Isometric head. A refined aero-shape design features a thinner frame face for a softer feel. Yonex carried over their Liner Tech technology from the previous version by using straight-hole grommets to elongate the sweet spot. The result is more power and comfort, even when missing the sweet spot. The cross-section is slightly thicker at each level(.5 mm) than the previous version and while it still has the iconic EZONE feel, the racquet plays sturdier and a bit more powerfully than the previous models. The EZONE 98 Plus adds a half inch in length over the standard version. Because of this, it offers more power, but it is also a little less mobile than the standard version.

Technologies

• Isometric: Isometric technology continues to help the world's greatest players achieve global success. 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 delivers greater control without sacrificing power.

• Liner Tech: Straight-hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.

• Oval Pressed Shaft (O.P.S): Shaft corners are rounded for an ideal flex at impact to increase dwell time for optimal spin and directional control.

• Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM): First used in our snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact. 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: High modulus graphite fibers are bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss, which enables to transfer of the energy into quick snapback.

• AERO SHAPE DESIGN: An inverted frame design with a thinner frame face results in a softer racquet.

• SHAFT DESIGN: A thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centered shots for added power.
