New Yonex XL frames - dates and details?

[Power Player]

Hi, do you have any info on the 98D XLength and the Ezone 98 XL? Looking for specs and release dates. Thanks!

Are longbodies/XL making a comeback?

Not sure but I wouldn't mind having one in the bag to try and get a groove with. I really liked the PK7G and the Pure Drive Plus.

Power Player,

There will be some extended length Yonex frames launching soon. There is no official launch date as of yet but if I were to guess I would say April/May. We have not hit with the final playtester samples yet but the prototypes we did hit with were really nice and possibly switchable.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

Hello Brittany,
would it be a stretch to ask how many extended models are supposed to come out? No specifics, names etc. just a number if you could.
Currently the count stopped at 3 (DR 98, SV 100, SV98).

Thanks in advance.

Wow, this is quite interesting. Can't remember a company doing a release like this one. Real interested in the 2 98s since I currently have the older red and white Xi98 leaded up and really love it. The comparison between the DR98 and SV98 XL would be great, hopefully you all can do a review of some sort.

Yep. I'd also like to see a review with a comparison of the two.

I think I'll give em both a go myself. Haven't played the standard length SV98 though. Maybe I'll give it a try at the same time + the SV95.

Assuming the warm weather comes back...I was hoping to play tennis this week but noooooo. Frickin blizzard decides to mess with my plans.

@TW Staff any idea when the written reviews for the SV98 & 100 pluses will be released, or did I miss it?

Bobble,

The written portions are currently being programmed and should be up by the end of the week. The videos are live.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW
