contnues the impressive Ezone launch with the Ezone 98+ Demo Tennis Racquet. This "+" version adds an extra half inch in length for more power and reach. The sixth generation Ezones have a new strong, yet elastic material in the throat called M40X. The graphite material improves the racquet’s flex while maintaining the tour level stability which is a hallmark of the Ezone franchise. Yonex improved the comfort of the Ezone 98+ by adding Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) in the handle. The material filters out unwanted vibrations without overly muting the response.

The sweet spot of the Ezone is massive do to Yonex’ Isometric head shape. With this version, the head is slightly wider at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions to create the largest sweet spot in the history of the Ezone franchise. By subtly varying the outer angle of the aero-shaped frame, the middle and upper portion of the racquet head remain plush, while the lower hoop is stable. Yonex carries over their Liner Tech string technology from the previous version by using straight hole grommets to elongate the strings. The result is more power and comfort, even when missing the sweet spot. According to Yonex, the updated Ezones will absorb 7.9% more shock and increase ball speed by 2.5% compared to the previous model. The Ezone 98+ is 10.8 ounces unstrung and has a spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern. Expect the Ezone 98+ to play slightly more head-heavy than the standard length version, but with boosts in stability and power.
