Yonex adds a sleek black cosmetic to the EZONE 98!
Featuring the same specs as the standard cosmetic version, the EZONE 98 Aqua Night Black combines spin-friendly targeting with raw speed. It also packs above average feel, comfort and stability for a light player's racquet. Although it lacks the mass-based power and plow-through of its heavier counterparts, you'll appreciate the quick handling when scrambling on defense, hitting shots on the run or charging the net. As with the standard cosmetic, 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 racquet’s raw speed and scalpel-like targeting make it one of the most accessible player’s racquets on the market.
Swingweight lowered to 314 on 6.21.24 based on additional samples measured.

Customer Reviews
Previous Year - Savings and QualityI was happy to find that there were still some of the previous year racquets on the shelf as it helped me as someone getting back into tennis after some pretty serious time off to save a little money on a real quality product. The sweet spot feels very large and the racquet is very responsive.
Controlled power and spinString this up with PolyTour Pro 16L @51 pounds and you got a well rounded racquet.
Been usong Yonex for the last 15 years. Before using this EZone 98, I played with Ezone Xi 98 that generates more power and control. But overall the 2022 Ezone98 is a comfortable, control and spin For intermediate players And even for beginners.
Love Ezone 98 (2022) and its predecessI’m a returning veteran player. I took a pause for about five years due to a back injury. The last racquet I used/love was an E zone XI Which had excellent power, controlled, depth In a midsize weight. Fast-forward to 2025: Racquet a bit lighter but enough to generate power and control With less rigidness. Definitely recommend for anyone beginning or intermediate players. String it with Yonex polytour pro 16L 1.25 at 51 lbs. And you have a well rounded racquet.
Great RacquetPerfect balance between power and control.
98 perfectionWhat’s there not to like. It’s an all-around great stick. Power, feel, dampening, quality control... it’s a winner.

HusseinI am a 63 years old, 5.0 ranking, all around player. I was playing with an Ezone 98, older model, I can't play with anything but Yonex. This is an amazing racquet, the feel and touch, control, amazing at the net, good ground strokes, good power, good slice, it is just perfect and if you have any injuries it is easy on the arm, I tried all kinds of racquets could not switch to any, I recommend this racquet for 3.5 to advanced player, especially to those who play doubles and love to go to the net.
