Update, I weighted it up to 350g to get the balance that I like and it actually isn't a bad frame. I don't think I'm good enough to switch to it but it's definitely fun to hit with from time to time to feel like you're playing with a "pro spec" when you make good contact. I think the spin is...

Most likely not as they've never done this

Ok I picked up this frame and just hit with it for the first time...I didn't find it that stiff and it had decent power and spin for a 95. My main gripe with this frame is the balance is a bit too head heavy for me (I'm used to 7-8 pt HL frames strung and this one is around 5.5 pts HL strung)...

I just picked one of these up, am I crazy or does the headsize look a little bigger than 95?

Me too!

I have a feeling they're gonna make the 2025 ezone's more flexible (probably 62-63 RA) . Don't know why but just a hunch. Especially since rec players are buying more softer frames due to marketing

I don't find it sluggish it all, in stock form I find it's too whippy with the low twistweight especially compared to something like a Pure Aero or even Pro Staff 97 V14.

We as rec players are definitely spoiled now! People are using full beds of poly, open string patterns, larger headsizes and still complaining about lack of spin potential. Whatever you gain in spin potential you lose in accuracy/direction as there are tradeoffs to each set-up as someone pointed...

It's only 5g heavier than an Ezone 98, Vcore 98, Aero, etc...and all of that 5g is in the handle/throat area which doesn't give it any noticeable extra stability. Also comparing specs between rackets of different head sizes, string patterns and RA's is not helpful in my experience. A 95 doesn't...

Blade 98?

Ezone 95 would be great. The market could use a 95 with a thicker beam and 16x19 string pattern. I don't want a mushy vcore.

Yeah I don't understand this request either. Just use a blade if you want 18x20 that badly. Also the string pattern is already dense lol

The DR 98 was a better serving racket IMO and maybe a bit more feel for droppers but I do prefer the ease of the 2022 version.

It's interesting that people are always talking about string spacing but never mention power level when talking about string patterns. A dense pattern frame like an 18x20 regardless if its open or closed has a lower power level than a 16x19. So if a player doesn't like heavy frames they won't...

I'm side eyeing anyone that says the VC95 can be played in stock form.

Need to? No...however If you want an even level playing field at 4.5-5.0 you should use some type of poly whether it's a hybrid or full bed. It's like saying to do people NEED to play with 98-100 sq inch rackets? No but playing with a 90 is much harder and I'm sure some people have the talent...

IMO 95's need at minimum ~330 SW and a decent twistweight. Trying to play lighter specs with a 95 doesn't make sense to me since the racket doesn't have much free power. That's partly why I don't understand the Vcore 95 line anymore It's not really playable in stock form to me at 4.5-5.0...

Anyone still using the FST 95? I'm about to try it for the first time next week. All of the 95's on the market are 16x20 and ultra flexy...I really wanted something that was 16x19 and a bit stiff and this fit the mold.

Slightly off topic, but would you say the 22 EZ 98 and Pro Staff 97 V14 have similar power levels?

Yonex

Pro Staff 97

Blade 98 is more of an advanced players frame due to the low flex and tighter string pattern. Ezone 98 is a little more user friendly being stiffer with thicker beam but not by a large amount. Without knowing anything about you I'd say the Ezone 98.

Volleys, 1st serve

I know you weren't intending to be funny with this post, but I died laughing reading this.

Lol I was just used to those numbers.

Thank you and everyone else for your help. Makes sense. All of my rackets are about 10 SW pts higher than I originally thought because the old iPhone had a messed up calibration. This is actually good because I can remove some lead tape now!

Ahh ok I figured it out. Looks like the old iPhone had some weird calibration and the new one was working properly. Sorry guys! This sucks because now I have to re measure all my specs ha.

I just recalibrated the iPhone SE 2020 with the above measurements so now I'm getting Spring Constant : 223.45 Apparatus Mol : 4.77 It was calibrated a long time ago once I got the machine but I hadn't re done it until now.
