The EZONE series is now in its 6th generation! Yonex has made some impressive changes to the new EZONE 100 (300 g), but it retains the speed and spin-friendly precision of the previous version. At 318 grams, this racket is weighted primarily for intermediate players, but should also work very well for any technically proficient 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 string friction on the frame for added comfort and performance. This technology also features a denser string spacing in the centre to ensure shot control. Greater string spacing further out reduces impact shock on off-centre hit balls. To improve the stability of the frame and optimise the flex of the racket at impact, Yonex adds a uniquely strong and resilient graphite in the racket's heart called M40X. This racket also features a vibration dampening mesh in the handle for less vibration and a cleaner feel. Like the previous generation, this version of the EZONE 100 feels fast, spin-friendly, lively and precise. With a higher frame hardness than the EZONE 98, this racket offers a firmer and more powerful feel, but is still 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 excels on returns, where it comes around the body quickly and offers effortless accuracy on full-length swings. With this impressive update to the EZONE 100 (300 g), Yonex offers a great option for both advanced and technically skilled players looking for a light and responsive tournament racket.
