Hope i see more racket and other tennis gear reviews in your channel !! Keep up the good work and congrats from Portugal!
I play with the Ezone 98 myself, I love this racket. I'm a big fan of Yonex rackets and their pro player ambassadors. I appreciate the nuances you bring in your comparison with the Wilson Pro Staff, at the end it's all about personal impressions and perception.
really respect the grind on the court and on youtube this summer! love the content, keep going
Thank you!
Awesome review! I really like watching your videos Always very useful! Well done!! 💖
Best review I've seen on this racket!! You should definitely demo some more, I personally play with the vcore 97 330g but the ezone helps me add that extra spin and power
Thank you!
Great stuff mate, good insight. Keep it up
Thanks man I appreciate it
More uploads please!!! Love the content.
Joshua Roseman definitely!
Yes! More racket reviews, please! 😊
Coming your way😀
Great Video man! Would love a Clash review as I’m interested in getting it 👍🎾
I’ll try to do one soon
The Tennis Dream,great review,,and I'm wondering how this racquet would play at say a XL version of itself, it probably 27 standard now,how about stretching it to say 27.5,yes it would change the swing weight,but many pros now playing with 27.5 XL models,,and an easy way of adding just half an inch would be to remove factory butt cap and installing the XTP Xtended Tennis butt cap,it simply adds half an inch to any racquet..thanks for the great review.T.john
Awesome review thank you so much!!
You're welcome :)
Great review!
Thanks!
Great review, i’m in the same boat as i’ve been using the pure aero for 6 years and recently demo’d the blade. I felt like the blade was way better. But I own 4 aeros and a bag and can’t pull myself to switch with all of the gear I already own.
I feel that man
Sell all that gear on eBay and buy fresh new blades and bag, it’s time for a change! Especially if you really think the blade was way better.
I have two fairly new blades 18x20 4 3/8 if you’re interested! I’m actually trying to get this Yonex ha
I've four shiny brand new blade 98 18*20 plus Wilson 12pk bag I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
The VCORE 98 is a beast
Thanks man!! Great vid!!
Kyrgios actually uses the Xi 98 which is the 1st generation of the ezone line, it’s a lot stiffer and plays more like a pure drive
Very nice video bro! I was considering changing my racket this week to a Yonex ezone 98 305g. Right now I play with a babolat pure strike, I like very much, but want to generate more spin because I only play on clay
I would definitely recommend the change. I think it will benefit you greatly
I currently use the rf97 pro staff and was interested in trying the Yonex vcore pro 97 330. I’m curious on anyone’s comparison since the yonex is lighter. I like the pro staff for the control and plow through. I string it at 47 lbs of Weiss cannon mosquito bite. 18 gauge. Great feel from the string if anyone hasn’t tried it but durability can be lacking a little. But love the combo.
Bagus Yoan.. Kereeennn.. Terima kasih yaa..
I noticed a different string on your Wilson racket. I hope we can expect another review very soon.🤠
You certainly can 👏🏼
Hey Yoan, could you give us an update on how your school year is gonna go in the fall and what about competition? That would be great!
Oooo that’s a good idea I will do!
Did you go to Queens?! I graduated in '08. Looking at racquets, great review
Fabulous video as always:)) could you give some information about tennis in england? I mean if that's alright with you. Do you perhaps have some information on clubs and perhaps university clubs ?
Thank you! Yes. DM for more info on my Instagram
Really like the review. I usually play on clay so I need more spin and power. Do you recommend the yonex ezone 98 to me? Thanks and always good to watch your videos
Yes, I would recommend the Ezone if you usually play on clay because clay requires you to generate more power than when playing on a hard court. On hardcourt you could use the other players power and therefore can benefit from a racket more for control
Great review
Thank you!
try the vcore man, I’m playing with the pro staff and considering the switch to the vcore because of the power and in comparison to the ezone it doesn’t numb the serve that much
keep up the grind bro💪🏼🤙🏼
Does the vcore numb the serve less than the pro staff?
I use the ecore 98 and know that the closest Wilson racket is the blade. For the pro staff comp I would compare to the vcore like pointed out above
I played with the pro staff before (red+black 11.5oz), which was a control racquet so it's natural you will feel a bit less of the ball when you switch to an Ezone, which has less control, but a really nice balance between control and power/spin. I think this is a perfect racquet. Traditional control racquets (pro staff, pure strike) have good control but lack power and spin, but power/spin racquets (Pure Drive, which I'm using now) kinda have too much power/spin and sacrificed too much control and feel. A perfect racquet for me would be something in between.
Appreciate! Wilson is m go to.
Great analysis! I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Babolat pure strike 18x20!
Thank you! I’ll give it a try
What are the strings and the kg in your ezone 98 ? It s very important
I’ve used mostly Pro Staff over the years (RF heavy frame) but I’m getting older so I use the PS and not the RF. I’ve tried the Clash and it was ok but certain shots such as the slice I like the PS better. I’ve tried a couple Yonex and I do like them. I just feel like sometimes I need a little help with power because even tho u h I can hit fairly hard, it’s more difficult for me to generate power now so a higher powered racket could help so...Clash? Yonex? I might end up with the new PS but...gotta look at strings too!
Hi, what do you think of pro staff 97l L ? I‘m currently using this rackt and might consider changing to either wilson blade or yonex ezone (both 305g). Thanks for your advice
i am a beginner\low intermediate, tried Ezone100sl and Pro Staff team 97, somehow I like the feel of the pro staff, I played a few good shots with it, not sure if my feeling is right or it is good for me, as I assume I am a beginner and perhaps I am still learning how to generate good power, I am confused now 😢
I use this racket too!
What was the string set up for each? Tension? What frame do you usually use?
Great review :) I'm considering to try some Yonex myself.
Hey Yoan, have you tried the the new Ezone 98 tour at 315 grams? That might tempt you even more to switch
Hey m8, I don’t know if you’ll answer but. Would you recommend me this racquet to start on tenis? Left tenis 5 years ago but now I’m back, so I have some experience. Do yo recommend me the Yonex Ezone 98? Thank you!
I play with a Wilson Blade 98 V7 (16x19) . Do you like this one? How does to compare the Wilson Blade 98 with Yonex Ezone 98? Congrats for the video!
Good review. If you wanted a slight edge over your pro staff you should try out the Yonex V Core Pro 97 (the 310g version)
I'll definitely make sure to check it out. Many thanks.
Is it the 2019 green Yonex VCORE pro 97?
Is that Yonex VCORE pro 97 310 good in stock form or does it need lead?
Does this Yonex have less power and more control than the Wilson pro staff?
Bang Bang yes, the green one (but I don’t actually think that there’s any difference between the green one and the previous blue and red one in the 310g version). I find the sweet spot to be larger on the Yonex compared to the Wilson and I find the Yonex easier to pull through faster on shots that would otherwise be hit a bit late on the Wilson. I found that the Yonex ability to generate more spin gave it more control on groundies than the Wilson. I subsequently added 3.5g of weight to each side of the Yonex at 3 and 9 o’clock positions and this helped with stability on volleys and a little bit more plough on groundies. Having owed both the Wilson Pro Staff and the Yonex V Core Pro, I would choose the Yonex everyday.
Very nicely explained. But u didn't mention the technical specifications of both the rackets while doing comparison to understand more better. Please furnish the details.
I am getting started in tennis and I really find your videos very helpful. So I am considering to get the Wilson Tour Slam Lite, do you think this is a good racquet for beginners? If not, which racquet would you recommend for a beginner?
Really appreciate it man! And I would say don’t stress too much over rackets as a beginner, just find one within your price range that has decent review. The one you just mentioned is pretty good. Once you get the fundamentals correct then you can start looking into rackets
You should try out the new Ezone 98 Tour, closer specs to your Pro staff
It has more power than Wilson PS.
And what about the ezone100 ? Ty
have you customized your ezone 98 in any way?
When did you start playing? I started playing in 8th grade and am now at the top of my team as a senior in high school. Not really sure where my tennis career is going after this final season starting in a few days, so I am wondering if anyone in this comment section would like to share their experiences?
You should try the ezone tour. Probably same stability as the pro staff and the same weight. Lot softer and better for the arm in the long term aswell! (y)
Hey please elaborate on the "better for the arm" comment, I'm currently dealing with elbow stuff.....
Very good review. I’m not at your level but I switched from a Pro staff 97 to a Yonex Ezone 100 and immediately noticed the increase in power and spin. The pro staff is definitely a control racket but you need the good technique to create the power which i didn’t have! Both very good rackets but for different types of player- I’m personally happy I made the change.
The problem is that control rackets are difficult to play in defense.
I play with the exact same racket the yonex ezone 98 it is an amazing racket
I bought it, now I'm going to test!
Krygios doesn't play with the Ezone 98, not that one anyway. He uses an old Xi98.
Not using hyper g anymore? Also the yonex vcore pro range might be good for you, similar to the pro staff.
Haven’t got the reel yet from our coach, so I’m waiting on that. And ye a couple of other people said that too. I might have to try it out
Second that, Vcore Pro 97 is what ProStaff should have been. Hopefully new ProStaff in October will be what we have been waiting for with new clash tech.
That’s Wilson PS 340g right?
THX!
Hi new fan , what age where you when you started playing tennis
7 years old
Is this the Pro Staff RF97 Autograph or the Countervail version?
Countervail version
Pretty sure kyrgios plays with a Yonex Xi. And would you say that with the "what you give is what you get" is limited by muscle?
Wtf are u saying? Kyrgios playing with ezone 98
@@giorgosabrazis292 it's an endorsement dummy. You actually think they play with those racquets🤦
nice training..
Did you have a chance to play test Wilson Clash ? what's your thoughts on comparing it to you racquet(Wilson Pro Staff) ?
I haven’t yet but I might give it a try
Honestly imo the clash is a coaching racket. I’m not sure anyone would use it at a high competitive level. It is great for casual play though for sure.
Aritra Bera what would be the reason for that? I play casually and have been using clash tour for 3 months already and love the feeling and power it gives me but it lacks control time to time thats why i was thinking to try pro staff(new version is realised soon)
actually kyrgious play with Yonex EZONE Xi in a prostock mold and naomi plays with this frame, but in a prostock version which is a little different from a retail one. Most part of the pros just endorse a frame they not really use that racquets you see
Yeah bro I know but for the sake of the video I said they play with the retail one
@@thetennisdream812 yeah "bro", but that's not truthful.
Is the ezone 98 a comfortable stick to hit ? How about stability?
Yeah it really is! Feels so smooth
What strings do you have on your pro staff?
Usually i use solinco hyper g
I think it is a bit too light and unstable, did you customize it?
Oh really? Fair enough. No it was straight from the shop
How heavy is your racquet in gramm?
310
Why don’t you do the Pure Strike?
I’ll review it next time 👍🏼
Pure Strike (What I use) probably has too much power and dampened feeling for what he is accustomed to.
I’ve tried it before and you’re not wrong
Do the head instinct next
👏🏼👏🏼
Is it sponsored review or just demo on your own?
Just demo on my own
what is your racket of choice.
Wilson Pro Staff
@@thetennisdream812 thank you sorry commented before I watched the whole video
Hahaha no worries
If you can play with the pro staff, you should be able to play anything.
Lmao so true
Almost almost first comment
Hahaha nearly
Try the new 98 tour and you will switch
Sure!
Osaka uses ezone 100
Not even. She plays with Yonex Ezone AI 98 custom
Remove you damper , I am playing with the RF97 Autograph and never played with a damper Good rackets in combination with a good string ( multifilament or natural gut ) don't vibrate
I don't usually play with a dampner
before you get the ezone try the vcore
Yeah man I might
First
