YONEX Ezone 100L (285g)

Introducing the 2020 EZONE 100L (285g). Like it’s predecessor, this racquet takes the lively and spin-friendly precision of the standard EZONE 100 (300g) and puts it into a lighter, faster package. In addition to being a great option for the intermediate player, this speedy racquet should also help the dedicated beginner rise to the next level. For this generation, Yonex has not only redesigned the beam’s cross-section for greater stability and comfort, it has also made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more responsive and luxurious feel. New technologies include a Liner Tech system, which reduces string on frame friction for extra comfort and power. This technology also features denser string spacing in the center for control, with wider string spacing on the edges for less shock on off-center hits.  To improve frame stability and optimize the flex at impact, Yonex adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite, called M40X, to the throat. This racquet also features a Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle for fewer harsh vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact. Like it’s predecessor, this racquet feels comfortable, crisp and accurate off the ground. Although it lacks the stability and plow-through of the heavier EZONE 100, you’ll appreciate the raw speed, which makes it easier for you to position the racquet under pressure. The EZONE 100L (285g) also allows you to execute shots in the run or swing bigger when more pace and spin are needed. At net this racquet’s light weight will help you stay active, and you’ll find enough power to close out points. Finally, aggressive servers will like how fast this stick explodes through contact. All in all, with some impressive updates to the frame construction and feel, the EZONE 100L (285g) remains an obvious choice for the intermediate player who wants an easy swinging racquet with phenomenal all-around playability.
