The?EZONE 98L?Tennis racquet packs a relatively compact?98 in head,?giving it the kind of control that breeds confidence when the set score tightens. At under?11 ounces?strung, the Ezone 98L is ideal for the?intermediate?player who wants a precise and spin-friendly weapon that comes around with remarkable ease. YONEX has not only redesigned the beam for greater stability, it has made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more forgiving response. New technologies include a?Liner Tech?system, which reduces string on frame friction for extra?comfort?and?power.?This technology also features denser string spacing in the center for control, with wider string spacing on the edges for less shock on off-center hits.?To improve frame stability and optimize the flex at impact, YONEX adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite, called?M40X, to the throat. This racquet also features a?Vibration Dampening Mesh?in the handle for fewer vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact.
