Introducing the Yonex Ezone 98L (285g) – Blast Blue: Lightweight Power with Supreme Comfort
The Yonex Ezone 98L (285g) Blast Blue is the perfect racket for players who prioritize speed, maneuverability, and effortless power. As part of the revolutionary 2025 Ezone 08 series, the 98L delivers all the groundbreaking innovations of its heavier counterparts but in a lighter, more accessible frame. This model is ideal for intermediate players, juniors transitioning to full-size frames, or anyone looking for a lightweight racket packed with Yonex’s cutting-edge technology.
Lightweight Design, Heavyweight Performance
At just 285g (unstrung), the Ezone 98L is engineered for faster swing speeds and easier handling, allowing players to react quickly and stay in control during intense rallies. The 98 sq.in. head size offers pinpoint accuracy and ample control, while the lighter weight ensures that every swing feels effortless, letting you unleash your power without fatigue.
Unleash the Sweet Spot
Yonex has pushed the boundaries of design with the Biggest Sweet Spot in Ezone History, offering 1.0% more sweet spot coverage than previous models. The combination of an extended frame top and wider beam width delivers enhanced forgiveness and power, ensuring that even off-center shots pack a punch. With the Ezone 98L, you can confidently take on any challenge with precision and ease.
Plush Feel Meets Unrivaled Comfort
Experience Yonex’s revolutionary Minolon technology, introduced for the first time in the Plush Zone of the shaft. This advanced material reduces vibration by 5.8%, providing a softer, more comfortable feel that’s perfect for players seeking long-term arm health and stability. Coupled with 2G-Namd Speed graphite, the frame flexes optimally at impact to generate more energy return while maintaining the plush, signature feel of the Ezone series.
Arm-Friendly Vibration Dampening
The Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) wrapped around the graphite handle ensures a smooth, arm-friendly playing experience by absorbing unwanted vibrations. Whether you’re working on your game during practice or playing in a long match, the VDM ensures comfort and reduces fatigue, giving you the confidence to keep swinging. The addition of shockless grommets further minimizes vibrations for unparalleled comfort on every shot.
Effortless Spin and Precision
The Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) enhances racket flex and dwell time, giving players more spin and control with every stroke. The combination of the Aero Shape Design and 16x19 string pattern allows for optimal string movement, making it easier to generate spin and maximize the sweet spot’s effectiveness. This ensures that every shot—whether flat or loaded with spin—lands exactly where you intend.
Meticulously Crafted in Japan
The Ezone 98L, like all Yonex rackets, is a product of unparalleled Japanese craftsmanship. Built in Yonex’s state-of-the-art factories, the 98L undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure every frame meets the brand’s industry-leading standards for performance and durability. The Made in Japan stamp signifies a level of excellence that players around the world trust to deliver consistency and reliability with every swing.
