Finally got to play last night after a long, unintended break from the courts.
Super sold on low-tension polys in the ezone- xi98 (or any other frame). For players who have an innate ability to add touch on the ball and have those 'feely' hands at net, don't be afraid of stringing your frame at 20-30lbs, full poly.
You lose some of your ability to control the ball but as mentioned, if you already have a keen ability to slice, lob, drop,.. what you get in return is a 6th (maybe even 7th) gear of spin and power available at will.
Sure, it's full poly, but at these tensions it is uber-comfortable, massive pocketing. Yes, you'll have to restring, but not as often as stringing poly at higher tensions.
The more and more that I play with the ezone98, the more I am reminded of a comment I read about it being a 'comfortable APD' and it's true. It's deader than the APD, flexes more, yet is more sensitive and 'touchy'. Really don't see myself being swayed from this frame for a while... or at least until the Ai98 gets a 50% price drop.
