YONEX EZONE 98 (8th Gen) Tennis Racket

Controlled power. Clean feel. Built for confident ball-strikers.

The latest YONEX EZONE 98 is the 8th-generation upgrade to one of the most popular rackets in the Yonex range. Trusted by intermediate and advanced players across the globe, the EZONE 98 delivers controlled power, solid spin potential, and excellent comfort - all packed into a fast-swinging 305-gram frame.

This version is built with 2G-Namd Speed graphite, a material that boosts ball speed without compromising on feel. The AERO Shape design and ISOMETRIC head help create a larger, more forgiving sweet spot while keeping the frame plush and responsive on contact.

From the first rally to the final point, this is a racket that rewards clean timing and full swings.

Key Features:

98 square inch head with a 16x19 string pattern for spin-friendly control
2G-Namd Speed graphite enhances frame snapback and energy return
ISOMETRIC head shape increases sweet spot size by up to 7 percent compared to conventional frames
AERO Shape tapered frame softens the feel while maintaining power
Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) adds dwell time and reduces vibration on impact
Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) filters out harsh feedback from mishits
Liner Tech grommets improve comfort and power on off-centre shots
Shockless Grommets help protect your wrist and arm during long matches
