Yonex EZONE 98 Tour 8th Gen (315g) Blast Blue
Engineered to playful perfection with plush feel and an extra-large sweet spot
EXTRA-LARGE SWEET SPOT
The 8th generation of EZONE takes Yonex’s signature ISOMETRIC™ technology to the next level.
It combines three key innovations to achieve an extra-large sweet spot and unmatched power while embracing the joy of the game.
ISOMETRIC™
The square-shaped ISOMETRIC™ racquet creates a 7%* larger sweet spot compared to a conventional round frame. With a larger sweet spot, players get more power, control, forgiveness.
*Tested by Yonex
ENERGIZING ISOMETRIC™
1. EXPANDED FRAME TOP
This modification increases the size of the sweet spot, giving players a larger area for consistent and powerful shots, even on off-center hits. This change makes the racquet more accommodating, giving players extra confidence with every shot.
2. WIDENED BEAM WIDTH AT THE TOP
A wider top beam width enhances responsiveness and power, enabling explosive shots with less effort.
3. EXTENDED TAPERED INNER FRAME
The extended tapered inner frame enhances flex and ball pocketing, delivering a softer feel with power.
PLUSH FEEL
Integration of Advanced Materials: The unique material MINOLON is tucked between the graphite plates of the shaft.
VDM (VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH) is seamlessly integrated into the grip, supporting you find your rhythm with every swing.
MINOLON
Crafted from threads spun by minomushi bagworms, MINOLON* features ultra-fine strands bonded into a net-like structure. Its soft, smooth texture ensures a plush feel, making every shot on the court a delight.
*MINOLON is a material developed by Kowa Company. Ltd.
VDM (VIBRATION DAMPENING MESH)
A flexible mesh material wrapped around the graphite in the grip, VDM filters out unwanted vibrations for a smoother, more comfortable feel.
2G-NAMD™ SPEED
Combining comfort with power
By blending cutting-edge graphite technology with advanced materials such as the 2G-Namd Speed, the EZONE offers unmatched comfort and control while maximizing power for every swing.
2G-Namd™ Speed: Engineered for flex and power, it combines high-modulus graphite fibers with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to create a material that efficiently transfers energy for a quick snapback.
*Namd™ technology, developed by Nitta Co., Ltd., evenly disperses CNTs in carbon fiber composites for superior performance.
LINER TECH
For Improved Power And Comfort
Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.
O.P.S (OVAL PRESSED SHAFT)
First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 - our first aluminum tennis racquet - the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into our most popular racquet series today.
The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimizing vibrations.
Shockless Grommets
Shockless Grommets are integrated at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize muscle fatigue and provide a soft feel at impact to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow by absorbing shock.
