Yonex adds another chapter to the EZONE 98 Tour with this second generation.! As with previous generations, this spin friendly frame is slightly heavier that the Ezone 98 at 315g. The Ezone 98 Tour's extra mass delivers an undeniable boost in plow-through and pop and the extra beam with provides for extra stability and power.
It also plays deceptively soft and forgiving considering that it has an RA stiffness of 64. For this update, Yonex adds 2G NAMD SPEED to the shaft, resulting in a more powerful response with better ball feedback. Yonex has also retooled the beam construction, adding a thicker, more convex cross section in the shaft (for stability) along with a thinner frame face (for a softer response).
Other technologies include Yonex’s time-tested ISOMETRIC head shape, a unique design feature that makes Yonex racquets feel more generous and forgiving than conventionally shaped equivalents.
Ultimately, this update is a great option for intermediate and advanced players looking for a precise and spin-friendly weapon. It not only redirects pace with ease but also rewards aggressive mechanics with enough pop to keep your opponent in check.
