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

YONEX Ezone 98 Tennis Racquet

Description

YONEX adds another chapter to the EZONE 98 (305g), one of the game's most user-friendly modern player's racquets. Endorsed by Nick Kyrgios, the EZONE 98 offers very easy targeting on full swings. YONEX has redesigned the beam for greater stability and made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more forgiving response. 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 vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact. On groundstrokes, the EZONE 98 feels fast, spin-friendly, and accurate.

Technologies

• ISOMETRIC: 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: 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.
