Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Yonex Ezone 98 Tour 2025 in Blast Blue is the heaviest frame in the Ezone 98 family, built for advanced players who want power with precision from a heavier, more stable tennis racket. The 2025 edition adds a bigger sweet spot and new vibration-damping material while keeping the plush Ezone feel. Made in Japan and supplied unstrung.
Key Features
- 98 sq in head, 16x19 pattern – a control-friendly head size with an open pattern for spin.
- Tapered inner frame – combined with a slightly head-light balance, improves ball pocketing and precision so shots connect cleanly.
- Biggest sweet spot in Ezone history – an extended frame top and wider beam give 1.0% larger sweet spot coverage, reducing mishits and adding power and responsiveness.
- Plush Zone with Minolon – Minolon material placed between graphite plates in the shaft gives a 5.8% improvement in vibration absorption for a softer, more controlled feel on hard-hit shots.
- 2G-Namd Speed graphite – adds power while keeping the classic Ezone comfort.
- Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) – built into the handle to filter unwanted vibration for an arm-friendly feel in long matches.
- Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) – flexes at impact to increase dwell time for control, spin and precise placement.
- Aero Shape frame and Isometric head – Yonex’s frame design for speed through the air and a wider sweet spot.
- Made in Japan – produced in Yonex’s own facilities, combining modern technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship for consistent quality.
Performance Overview
The Ezone 98 Tour is tailored for players who want control and stability without giving up power. The extra mass and slightly head-light balance keep the frame steady against heavy balls, the tapered inner frame helps the ball pocket for precise placement, and the larger sweet spot gives more confidence on off-centre contact – whether you are hitting a big forehand or placing a slice. The Minolon-enhanced Plush Zone and VDM keep the feel soft and cushioned, even in long, hard matches.
Who Is It For?
Advanced and county-level players who prefer a heavier frame for stability and plow-through, swing fast and want Ezone comfort and power with 98-head precision.
