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.

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.

Arm friendly for 65 stiffnessI just had a brief demo and would have guessed the stiffness to be lower. My Wilson Clash Pro seemed to have slightly more pop and was easier to play with than the Yonex. You will have to work harder with the similarly weighted Yonex. Great paint job on the Ezone. I'll stick with ordering the new Yonex bag.

New racquet and trade-in.This is my second purchase of a racquet from TW in the last 3 months. I utilized the demo program as well as trading in three of my old racquets. They made the process easy and I was more than satisfied. I highly recommend TW for buying a new racquet!

My Holy GrailFor context; 53 year old, single handed backhand, all court player of high level, only play singles.
Been using prestige midsizes, and narrow beamed heavy racquets all my life. Tried many modern tweeter style racquets over the years like Pure Aero, Pure Drive, Extreme, etc. and just had too much power without control. This racquet feels flexy and comfortable enough to let me produce full swings without risk of over hitting long but equally gives me a lot extra punch on my groundies. Extra pop and spin on serves and easy to come around. It has quite honestly helped my game a lot and I would highly recommend a playtest.
