    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    Wow why did I even leave this racquet? I really missed heavy frames. (BTW I did try for a while leather grip and beefed up ezone 98 but it was just too powerful and it felt heavier than it should) Never measured my HD´s because I didn´t even know that was a thing 4 years ago. 319/320 g...

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    Thanks for the tip. I love Head Lynx Tour but I might want to get some power back with the HD. I have access to Yonex strings at basically 50% off so I might try some yonex multi and PTP strike maybe? But before thay will try the TF/Hawk just to get a sense if I like it more than full poly

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    Nope, I would try it but it´s too expensive. I prefer not to know, Ignorace is bliss. I would try a multi/poly hybrid if you could recommend one? I´m using full lynx tour 1.20

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    Yes it does have slightly more power than what you would expect from this type of racquet. As with the 2018 vc95, the HD lost it´s special factor with the D. It´s a great frame just not a special frame as the HD. The HD is buttery smooth, spin, a tank, fast to maneuver (for it´s weight) and...

    Yonex VCore Pro 97 HD review...

    Gladly After about 6 years of a tennis break came back in 2021 and bought the HD's because I always wanted a Yonex racquet and also my bacground was the prestige line 18x20 320 unstrung so it was just a good choice. But then I started wondering now that I'm back I can start to try lighter...

    Back on the HD train after possibly 10 racquet switches. I never knew what a Gem I had. Probably sticking with this gem for the long run

    Indeed a more precise analysis: the 98 will give you a more controlled "sensation"but it won´t make you control the ball more. That will be due to better footwork, keeping both eyes always on the ball, string tension and other variables.

    It sounds like you would really like it because it is definitely more controlled but still is a power racquet. I bet you already know it´s a must try for you just want confirmation. So yes, try it :)

    https://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/cgi-bin/twistweight.cgi I can tell which ones are the 2025 version because until last week no ezone 98 or tour was above 15

    Naomi Osaka Racquet Specs

    She uses a leather grip. I saw her play in adelaide and she asked her coach to swap the overgrip and it was a yonex leather grip underneath. This makes sense since her strung balance is 32 cm and strung weight is 340

    Yonex Ezone 98. Do you like the New one or 2022 version ?

    I also agree here. Although I could play with either if I had to pick one it would be the 2022 version. I felt more connected and I trust it more. Plus I really like the cool blue, osaka and aqua night PJ much more than the blast blue one. I admit I give a little bit more importance to looks...

    8th Gen Yonex Ezone

    Final update (for now): Played another 6 hours with the new Ez98 and nothing has changed on my perspective about this frame. It's a good racquet just somewhat overdone with the dampening tech for me. On the dampened/muted scale if '22 Ez98 is a 4/10 the new version is a 7/10. If I can...

    On the 2022 (2 grams on the handle, 1.5 grams on either side of 3/9 and another 2.5 grams at 12. SW = 328 2025 version I only added 2 grams at the handle and 1 gram at each side @ 10/2

    8th Gen Yonex Ezone

    Update: first 2 hours yesterday with the new ezone 98 and it really seems like a minor update. First impressions: It plays basically the same just with a subtle difference in feel. You will either like it slightly more ore slightly less, for me just slightly less. The 2022 has a bit more raw...

    8th Gen Yonex Ezone

    Yes! In the states it has been released in past two iterations around 6 months later than the regular 98 along with the osaka version (idk if that is going to happen), so expect it around August 2025. In other countries it is already available (UK, Japan)

    You are correct it is already confirmed she switched to the 2022 ezone as other players did as well. It´s a great version

    I doubt it, it would sell like the 18x20 blade :). It´s not needed but it would definitely sell

    8th Gen Yonex Ezone

    Release the 18x20, keep buying the 16x19. No big issue everyone wins. I would try it :)

    This thread could be called anything but "Keys to Yonex". Anyways, it´s fun to see Wilson players going to Yonex. Hope she stays like T.Paul. Anyone can notice if it´s the 98 or 100?
