Customize Ezone 98 to get closer to Ezone 100-specs?

[Arcturus]

Hi there,
I've been playing with my Ezone 98 (2020) for 3 years and recently tried a Ezone 100 (2022), which I liked really much for my flatter hitting style.
How can I customize my 98 in the best way to get closer to the 100 specs (balance, twistweight, ...)? Of course the head size cannot be changed

I know I could buy a 100 when they'll go on sale soon, but first I want to try out customizing.
Might be a weird question, I know.

add weight at.3 and 9 to increase twistweight. However, you will also increase swingweight and static weight, which will take you further away from the exone 100 specs. The ezone 100 is also stiffer, which you cannot do much about. You can try more powerful strings.

Can't do anything really since the 98 is already more massive than the 100. Only thing I can think of is maybe match up their MgR/I ratio.

To begin with the 98 weighs ~6g more than the 100. Not a good idea. I’d wait and buy the 100 then you can play around customizing the old 98.

I don't see how it can be done seeing the differences in beam thickness and stiffness rating. If you play better with the 100 it would be best just to make the switch.

Let me add a very important point to this conversation. Most of us are assuming your 98 and 100 frames are very similar to TW average specs. That may not necessarily be the case. Also the frame stiffness, head size, and beam widths are different. If you’re going to try to match racket you should use identical models and not try match one model to another model.

There’s a big different between customizing a racket to meet certain specs and matching rackets.
