    Yonex E-Zone 100+

    I use the Yonex Ezone 100+ 7th Gen (2022). I really love the racket. I checked out the specs of the new 8th gen 100+ online and it’s a bit different. SW, Balance, etc. If you use the 100+ 7th gen and try out the new 8th gen, feel free to drop your opinions.

    Examples of Beam profiles being different than advertised

    In the Tfight thread there was some discussion about the advertised beam profiles didn't match what people measured. I'm curious if you guys have other racquets where you noticed that. Surely 0.5-1mm difference won't matter much in the end but I find it interesting nonetheless. To start with...

    Can tweener racquets be used effectively by an advanced player ?

    I’ve seen a lot of college and pro players use tweener sticks. If they can play with these, should we too ? Is it the right racquet for them even if they hit long a lot ?

    Why is Sinner still playing with Speed 2022 paintjob…

    …after becoming the posterboy for Speed 2024, which was launched on 18th January? Indian Wells is now the third tournament after AO and Rotterdam where we see Sinner still using racquets with the old paintjob, doesn’t make any sense from marketing perspective.
