The EZONE series is now in its 6th generation! Yonex has made some impressive changes to the new EZONE 100 (300g), but it retains the speed and spinning precision of the previous version. At 318 grams, this racket is primarily weighted for advanced players, but should also work very well for any technically skilled player who wants a lightweight tournament racket. For 2020, Yonex has not only redesigned the frame for more stability, but also made the hitting area slightly larger for an even more forgiving response. New technologies include a Liner Tech system that reduces friction of the strings on the frame for added comfort and performance. This technology also features tighter string spacing in the middle to ensure hit control. A larger string spacing further out reduces the impact shock of balls hit off-center. To improve the stability of the frame and optimize the flex of the racket at impact, Yonex adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite in the heart of the racket, called M40X. This racket also features a vibration dampening mesh in the handle for reduced vibration and a cleaner feel. Like the previous generation, this version of the EZONE 100 feels fast, spiny, lively and precise. With a higher frame stiffness than the EZONE 98, this racket offers a firmer and more powerful feel while still being quite comfortable for a modern tournament racket. At net, the EZONE 100 not only gives you the stability you would expect from a heavier VCORE Pro model, it also offers enough speed and power for more aggressive players. It also impresses when it comes to returns, where it gets around the body quickly and offers effortless accuracy during full swings. With this impressive update to the EZONE 100 (300g), Yonex offers a great option for both advanced and technical players looking for a lightweight and responsive tournament racket.
