The Yonex EZONE 98 Tour Tennis Racquet – Espresso Brown is a premium performance racquet designed for advanced players who want explosive power, stability, precision and exceptional comfort.
Built on the current-generation EZONE platform, the 98 Tour combines a compact 98 sq. in. head, substantial 315 g unstrung weight, and 320 mm balance for a solid, commanding response at impact. Compared with the standard EZONE 98, the Tour version adds extra mass and stability for experienced players who generate their own racquet-head speed and want greater plow-through on powerful groundstrokes and serves.
Finished in the sophisticated Espresso Brown colourway, the EZONE 98 Tour pairs Yonex's signature power-oriented performance with a refined brown and orange cosmetic.
Tour-Level Stability & Power
At 315 g unstrung, the EZONE 98 Tour is the heaviest 98 sq. in. model in the current EZONE family.
The additional mass provides greater stability through contact and helps the racquet drive through the ball with authority. This makes it particularly effective for advanced players hitting with full, aggressive swings from the baseline or looking for added stability on returns and volleys.
98 sq. in. Precision
The 98 sq. in. head size provides the control and directional accuracy experienced players expect from a performance frame.
It offers a more precise response than larger EZONE models while still benefiting from Yonex's enlarged sweet-spot technology for additional forgiveness on shots struck away from the centre.
ISOMETRIC™ Sweet Spot
Yonex's signature ISOMETRIC™ head shape optimizes the intersection of the main and cross strings to create a larger effective hitting area.
The current EZONE design further expands the upper portion of the frame, helping produce more consistent power and precision across a wider area of the string bed.
2G-Namd™ SPEED
2G-Namd™ SPEED graphite is incorporated into the frame construction to enhance flex and rapid snapback.
The material allows the frame to flex efficiently during ball contact and recover quickly, contributing to the EZONE's combination of explosive power and responsive feel.
MINOLON for a Plush Feel
Yonex incorporates MINOLON into the frame construction to help soften the racquet's response at impact.
Working together with the EZONE's frame geometry, MINOLON contributes to the smooth, comfortable feel that distinguishes the series from many traditional power-oriented performance racquets.
Vibration Dampening Mesh
VDM – Vibration Dampening Mesh is integrated into the handle to help filter unwanted vibration.
This produces a cleaner, more comfortable response while retaining the feedback advanced players need for precise shot execution.
16 x 19 String Pattern
The versatile 16 x 19 string pattern provides a strong combination of spin potential, power and directional control.
It allows aggressive players to generate heavy topspin from the baseline while still supporting flatter attacking shots, serves and precise placement.
Espresso Brown Edition
The Espresso Brown finish gives the EZONE 98 Tour a refined dark-brown appearance accented by vivid orange details.
The cosmetic changes the look of the racquet while retaining the same current-generation EZONE 98 Tour performance specifications.
