Yonex Ezone 98 Espresso 2026 Tennis Racket (305g)

Yonex Ezone 98 Espresso 2026 Tennis Racket (305g)

The Yonex Ezone 98 Espresso 2026 racket maintains its signature isometric head shape, which significantly expands the sweet spot by 7%. Its 630 cm² head size delivers exceptional precision, facilitating controlled power for competitive play.

While retaining the core elements that defined its predecessor's success, the Yonex Ezone 98 Espresso 2026 introduces key enhancements. The 632 cm² head and 16x19 string pattern ensure both forgiveness and stability upon impact. Thanks to its distinctive ISOMETRIC frame shape, this racket offers an enlarged hitting area, providing greater consistency and a more forgiving feel compared to conventional frames.

Yonex further elevates the power and stability of the Ezone 98 by thickening the upper section of the frame and integrating an internal groove, which optimises frame flexion at ball contact. For maximum comfort, an ultra-fine natural fibre, Minolon, is incorporated into the racket's core to absorb vibrations and deliver a superior feel. The advanced 2G-NAMD SPEED technology ensures optimal energy transfer, resulting in explosive and accurate shots.

With its relatively low stiffness and outstanding manoeuvrability, the Yonex Ezone 98 Espresso 2026 racket establishes itself as a benchmark for advanced players who demand a harmonious blend of control, power, and touch across all areas of the court.

Integrated Technologies

• Isometric: Developed over 30 years ago, the ISOMETRIC™ design increases the sweet spot by 7%, delivering enhanced control without compromising power.
• Energizing Isometric: The enlarged sweet spot boosts forgiveness and power, while the wider top frame and tapered internal profile optimise responsiveness, flexibility, and comfort upon impact.
• Minolon: Crafted from threads derived from Minomushi silkworms, MINOLON* consists of ultra-fine fibres woven into a mesh structure, providing exceptional comfort and vibration dampening.
• Liner Tech: Straight-hole grommets elongate the strings, optimising power and comfort even on off-centre shots.
• O.P.S (Oval Pressed Shaft): Engineered to provide players with greater spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimising unwanted vibrations.
• VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh): A stretchy mesh material that filters out undesirable vibrations, enhancing touch and precision.
• 2G Namd Speed: High-modulus graphite fibres bonded with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure reduce energy loss, delivering greater power and responsiveness.
• Aero Shape Design: An inverted frame design engineered for improved aerodynamic penetration through the air.
• Shaft Design: A thicker frame base structure with a convex design reduces racket twisting on off-centre hits, translating to more consistent power.
