YONEX Ezone 98 Tour Tennis Racquet (Unstrung, 315g, Deep Blue)

YONEX Ezone 98 Tour Tennis Racquet

Description

With the EZONE Tour Yonex adds a heavier model to the EZONE line! Ideal for experienced players, this nearly 12-ounce racquet not only does a great job redirecting higher levels of pace, but it also delivers the needed mass to drive the ball powerfully through the court. 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. 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 Tour not only delivers more stability than the 315-gram version, it still manages to deliver the explosive acceleration required for loading the ball with spin. At the net, the EZONE 98 Tour redirects higher pace levels with ease while also delivering surgical targeting for those who like moving their opponents around. Aggressive servers will find the needed precision to swing for power, and there is more than enough spin potential to hit effective kickers and slices. This rock-solid stick also shines at the net where there is enough touch for hitting angles and droppers along with enough power to hit piercing volleys. Ultimately, with this new introduction to the EZONE line, Yonex gives experienced players the outstanding playability of the EZONE 98 305 but in a more stable package.

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.
