The OSAKA EZONE was designed in collaboration with Naomi Osaka and her sister Mari Osaka. The OSAKA EZONE is an added cosmetic to the 7th-generation EZONE series, which is crafted for power and comfort. Yonex EZONE 98 (7th Gen.) continues to deliver power and fast racquet head speed. The Yonex EZONE 98 tennis racquet plays with an excellent feel thanks to the new shaft design that promotes improved stability and power. The new shaft design has a thicker shaft structure with a convex design to reduce racquet torque on off-centered shots. The new design and improved stability add to the Yonex EZONE 98's impressive power. The Aero Shaped Design of the racquet provides a plush feel thanks to its tapered design with a thinner frame face creating a softer feeling racquet despite the racquet's flex in the mid 60's. As players play through shot impact Yonex's Oval Pressed Shaft flexes at impact for increased ball dwell time on the string bed. The Yonex EZONE 98 has a frame layup made of High Modulus Graphite, 2G-NAMD Speed, and Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM). The H.M. Graphite and 2G-NAMD Speed graphite provide enhanced feel and response for players while also improving overall speed. VDM, a stretchy mesh material wrapped around the racquet handle's inner graphite, filters unwanted vibrations making the Yonex EZONE 98 one of the brand's most comfortable racquets to date. Dialed in and perfectly suited for intermediate to advanced players, the Yonex EZONE 98 tennis racquet features a very maneuverable strung weight thanks to its headlight balance while the signature Yonex Isometric head shape increases the string bed's sweet spot. Players looking to unleash powerful groundstrokes and booming serves can play with plenty of confidence with this generation of the Yonex EZONE 98.
