true, but if that fugly racquet PJ wins slams for a player, then it is a magic stick......

I've loved Yonex frames for almost 20 years now, and it will be interesting to see how these hit, particularly considering where they fit on the diagram above. They maybe seem a little light for Ivanovic's game? In any event, Yonex really needs to step up its marketing. They have no ecommerce so it's practically impossible to find anything beyond their basic clothing not already offered on TW and the other major web sites. And if the link to the Facebook above is an official Yonex page, it's riddled with errors and doesn't give off the best impression. They make too good of a product for this sort of an image.

I think Ivanovic's will be the EZone Tour. I am not sure of the name, but based on how the current EZone racquets are named and how the heavy-spec, smaller-headsize frames are named "Tour" of some sort, I believe that will be the name for the next RQiS 1 Tour replacement.

Consider the fact that Yonex did not paint the racquets using feminine colours like what they always did with their 100 in2. racquets.

I like the paint jobs.

I'm pretty sure the launch is at the US Open; but Yonex Tennis on Facebook already has pics up of the racquets at the current tourneys. I hope there's a tour version; 100 just seems a bit big for me.

From the Yonex graph, it is going in the right direction with the softness!

I actually like the paint job a lot. What I don't like is how thick the beam and the throat are, it makes the handle look so thin.

3 models: eZone, eZone Lite and eZone 107. Could get a pic of the eZone Lite:

eZone Lite (100inch2, 275g)





Not sure which one Ivanovic will be using.. I guess the eZone.

From reading the Japanese description, sounds like it's going to be leaning more towards a tweener rather than a players frame.

meh...

Oooh, can you translate, please?

Yes. They are supposed to replace the RQiS 1 Tour XL variants. I would not expect a player's frame until 2012.

EZONE Lite, EZONE, EZONE 26 (junior racquet)

Those look sweet.
