Yonex puts the scalpel-like precision of the standard EZONE 98 into a lighter, faster package
With the 2022 EZONE 98L Yonex gives intermediate players the tools to hit with power, spin and accuracy. For this update, Yonex adds 2G NAMD Speed to the graphite layup, resulting in increased pocketing and better ball feedback. Yonex has also retooled the beam construction, adding a thicker, more convex cross section in the shaft (for stability) along with a thinner frame face (for a softer response). Other technologies include Yonex’s time-tested ISOMETRIC head shape, a unique design feature that makes Yonex racquets feel more generous and forgiving than conventionally shaped equivalents. Rising intermediate players looking for total command over the ball should start here.

Customer Reviews
Yonex Ezone98LThe racquet is great. I love the feel and control I have. Played with a Prince graphite for a long time. Love the weight of the Yonex. Feel like I can hit any shot.
Raqueta impresionante!I have tried the Vcore 98L, Ezone 100 and Ezone 100L models, as well as racquets from other brands and the Ezone 98L is superior to all of them. It provides unique control that allows you to keep your opponent on the ropes. Despite having a very good power level the ball doesn't go out of bounds. The volleys are fast and in general all my shots have improved.
He probado los modelos Vcore 98l , Ezone100 y Ezone 100l, además de raquetas de otras marcas y la Ezone 98l es superior a todas. Brinda un control único que te permite mantener a tu rival contra las cuerdas. A pesar de tener un muy buen nivel de potencia la bola no sale fuera de la cancha. Las boleas son rápidas y en general todos mis golpes han mejorado
Switched from 98 due to shoulder problemsI had to switch from the EZONE 98 to 98L due to a rotator cuff problem. The adjustment took a week or so, given that the specs are a bit different. However after a few hours on court, this racquet has helped me develop other strokes I was not able to do with the heavier 98 EZONE.
PROS:
- FH and BH slices
- More direction to the ball
- Lighter racquet gives you a faster reaction time.
- Better returns
CONS:
- Lessened groundstrokes power
- Loss of serve power
- Volley control/pop
If you have a shoulder problem try this option, it could work for you as well.
