Featuring the same specs as the standard cosmetic version, the EZONE 98 Aqua Night Black combines spin-friendly targeting with raw speed. It also packs above average feel, comfort and stability for a light player’s racquet. Although it lacks the mass-based power and plow-through of its heavier counterparts, you’ll appreciate the quick handling when scrambling on defense, hitting shots on the run or charging the net. As with the standard cosmetic, Yonex adds 2G NAMD SPEED to the shaft, resulting in a more powerful response with better ball feedback. Yonex has also retooled the beam construction, adding a thicker, more convex cross section in the shaft (for stability) along with a thinner frame face (for a softer response). Other technologies include Yonex’s time-tested ISOMETRIC head shape, a unique design feature that makes Yonex racquets feel more generous and forgiving than conventionally shaped equivalents. Ultimately, this racquet’s raw speed and scalpel-like targeting make it one of the most accessible player’s racquets on the market.
