Yonex EZONE is back for an 8th generation that improves the overall comfort and power; this 100L variant is a softer-feeling modern racquet suitable for beginners to advanced players looking for a mid-weight racquet with controllable power and comfort.
At 100 square inches, the average head size brings a balance of power and control. Its open string pattern should allow players easier access to spin and power. The weight, being an average 10.1 ounces unstrung, will provide players with a balance of manoeuvrability and stability for an easier swinging experience that will still stand up to bigger shots. The head light balance will provide easier racquet head speed for easier manoeuvrability and spin generation.
On the technology side for the 8th generation of EZONEs, Yonex has improved on their ISOMETRIC technology by altering the frame at key areas to further increase the size of the sweet spot for an increase of achievable power inside and around the sweet spot. Yonex has also integrated a new material, Minolon, in between the graphite plates of the shaft which has given the frame a more plush feel for improved comfort. Yonex's vibration controlling technology, VDM, is also present to help take the edge of errant shots.
The EZONEs are better than ever at providing players with lots of power and ultimate comfort. The 100L variant is great option for those looking for a modern frame with plenty of control, generous power paired with forgiving feel. The control achieved with this frame is great and paired with the improved plush feel and Yonex's quality of design should mean this will be a popular frame for a wide variety of players, including improving beginners to experienced players looking for an easier hitting experience.
