Yonex Ezone 98 Tour Tennis Racket - Espresso Brown

YONEX EZONE 98 Tour Espresso Brown Tennis Racket

The YONEX EZONE 98 Tour Espresso Brown Tennis Racket is designed for advanced players looking for power and comfort in a heavier, more substantial frame. Its 315 g weight, 98 in² ISOMETRIC™ head and 16x19 string pattern combine a compact hitting area with the additional mass of the Tour specification.

At 315 g, the EZONE 98 Tour provides a heavier platform for advanced players who prefer more frame mass through their swing. The 98 in² head offers a more compact hitting area, while YONEX's ISOMETRIC™ shape creates a 7% larger sweet spot compared with a conventional round frame.

Its 320 mm balance point and 16x19 string pattern complete a performance-focused specification aimed at experienced players.

2G-Namd™ SPEED graphite enhances ball speed without sacrificing comfort, while the tapered AERO Shape Design creates a softer, plusher response.

The Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) flexes at impact to increase dwell time and minimise vibration, supporting spin, control and feel. Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) further filters unwanted vibration through the grip for a cleaner, more comfortable response.

Liner Tech uses straight hole grommets to improve power and comfort on off-centre shots. Shockless Grommets absorb impact at the sides and bottom of the frame, creating a softer feel while reducing shock transferred towards the wrist, forearm and elbow.

Who is the EZONE 98 Tour best for?

The YONEX EZONE 98 Tour is designed for advanced players looking for power and comfort from a heavier 315 g frame. Its 98 in² head provides a more compact hitting area, making the Tour a strong option for experienced players who prefer greater frame mass alongside the feel and comfort technologies of the EZONE range.

What should you consider before buying?

At 315 g, the EZONE 98 Tour is a heavier tennis racket and requires more weight to be moved through the swing than lighter EZONE models. Players who prioritise easier manoeuvrability should consider whether a lighter frame would better suit their game.
