YONEX Ezone 98L Tennis Racquet (Deep Blue, 285g Unstrung)

YONEX Ezone 98L Tennis Racquet

Description

The EZONE 98L Tennis racquet packs a relatively compact 98 in² head, giving it the kind of control that breeds confidence when the set score tightens. At under 11 ounces strung, the Ezone 98L is ideal for the intermediate player who wants a precise and spin-friendly weapon that comes around with remarkable ease. YONEX has not only redesigned the beam for greater stability, it has 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.

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.

• M40X: A high strength, high modulus graphite achieves the rare combination of frame stability and flex through its unique properties.

• 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.

• Shockless Grommets: Shockless Grommets are integrated at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize muscle fatigue and provide a soft feel at impact to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow by absorbing shock.

• Isometric Expansion: An updated square-head frame that is wider at the 3 and 9 clock positions creates the largest sweet spot in Ezone history.

• Aero Shape: By varying the outer angle of the aero-shaped frame, the middle and upper hoop are plush, while the lower hoop is stable.

• Super Cushion Grip: The cushioning performance of the grip helps minimize vibrations to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow against shock-induced injuries.
