@@user-be5qg7mr1s funny that you said that. I just sold 3 of my clash 98 for the Yonex 100. Ofcourse clash is great for the arm with decent power, but the pop and power as well as the control of the ezone is like night and day.
@@ajcph I agree, I was making fun of wilson's cutting edge technology and the fact could not 1 single pro to use or endorse the wilson clash. Its very erratic and unprediictable. yonex all the way!
I just saw this yesterday during his doubles semifinal at Indian Well. I can’t help but think Yonex must be throwing money/gear at these players. At least more than the other brands.
I switched to Yonex EZONE 100 and I love the racquet. I tried to buy another brand because it's on sale and I can tell the big difference regarding the control, power, and feel. Well done YONEX!!!!
Babolat/Wilson -> Yonex has been the trend in recreational tennis for nearly a decade now. The Ezone and Vcore lines very much bridge the gap between Pure Aero/Drive and ProStaff/Blade, by combining the benefits of both worlds but the weakness of neither. Pure Drive used to be the go-to for beginners, but has been in decline for years now. Pure Aero & ProStaff would slowly fade away as Rafa and Roger's impact does. Blade is still going strong among high level juniors/young adults in the US, but if Yonex ever would be willing to spend on high school & college kids (like Wilson do), they would prevail pretty soon
Those are some good points. Yonex is all over the Blade. Vcore Pro = Blade flex and feel + Pro Staff head size, weighty side options Vcore = Blade beam + Aero throat and profile, power, and spin qualities Ezone = The power racket with Blade feel, Drive beam + Aero Throat + Blade density + Blade feedback
in the last decade I didn't see that much of wilson, instead a lot of head\babolat, anyway I agree with you, by the way I'm thinking to switch from mi head extreme to the yonex ezone
@@M4V35 i switched a few years ago to ezone from playing with head for years (radical and speed pro) but ive been curious to try the extreme. Curious as to your thoughts on the extreme, i like the ezone but even with adding lead i cant get the pop on my serves like i did with head racquets.
@@Seenbymo8219 I like the extreme, the spin and serve are really good, but what I think it's lacking is the power, I really feel like if I don't swing with my full power I can't even reach the the service line, but the control it's good, and anyway my Extreme is the 2017 version (I don't remember exactly the year maybe it can be 2018 it's the extreme with the asp but I use it with 16x19 pattern). So I think that with the ezone 100 I might lose some spin but I for sure I'm gonna achieve more power
@@M4V35 thats how i felt with my ezone 98 (308g unstrung). I had to add weight at the 10 & 2 o’clock, and it solved the problem except for serve. Im going to demo the extreme for sure! Surprising to hear that its underpowered. Seems like head didn’t market it correctly imo.
i shifted 3 months back to yonex ezone 98 tour 2022 model, got 3 matched rackets in my bag, it does everything so well for my game, probably do not have the greatest feel on the market but performance wise simply outstanding and no customization is needed!
Nakashima, Sock, Munar, Paul, etc. now I’ve brand loyal to Technifibre ever since the Donald Young days but Yonex is killing the game. Wilson is hanging on a thread with the Blade.
prostaff are too heavy and sluggish, clash is unpredictable. ultra is a copy of Pure drive...they don't got alot going for them except blades. They depesrate with the wilson shift LOL
I've switched from Extreme to Ezone 100, the Ezone just makes everything far better, QC is top notch, it lends itself well to all string set ups, just an all round quality racquet, can't fault it.
Hey, I'm interested in this! Currently playing with the Head Extreme Tour, how would you say it compares to the Ezone? I'm happy with the ET although sometimes it lacks power and the low launch angle gives me problems.
Quality control. Arm friendly. Fast through the air. What's not to love? Oh the isometric shape. Some can't get over that. But if you can it's a great racquet.
One of the clubs I play pushes only Wilson and a lot of people bought it (the club was all Babs all day)..but in the last year most REC players have switched on their own to Yonex Ezone or Vcore varieties. There are Head Graphene 360s and some radicals here and there.. but majority of the club pros use their provided Blades or whatever they played in college or whatever.. We don't have a dedicated 'tennis shop' so they must be watching tennis or reading reviews on Yonex. I still use my old skunk Ezone 98 and love it, dr was ok.. and the ai I think was pretty decent when I had one.
@@ramyg5037 Had an older Pro Staff, wanted a new stick, choose the ezone tour. A lil less control oriented but still not overpowered. Bigger sweet spot.
I might still be using a Blade, except Yonex is manufactured with quality control and in Japan. It’s worth it to me to use 2 sticks that are the same specs that are an 8/10 for me than to use maybe a Blade where 1 might be a 9/10, but the other will be a 7/10. Yeah same average, but they’re 2 different racquets if the specs aren’t all the same, and changing between them is awful. It’s a 300 USD item, it should be the exact same as the next one
I switched from Blade Pro 18x20 v7 to the 2022 Yonex Ezone 98 with some lead at the hoop. my 53yr old body just cant wield that Blade anymore. Now i'm back ruling my local courts once again! even against young'ns in their 30's and 40's. 😄
@@KevinKeunen78 It is not the stiffness. Just the swingweight is low and it lacks mass in the hoop. I play with the Ezone Tour 2022 and it has fixed all the problems that regular Ezone 98 had.
Yonex is the only major brand that would steer me away from my Angell Customs (TC95 and TC97) as they are the only ones taking quality seriously. So I bought myself 2 new Vcore 95 2023, matched by TW Europe. Swingweight was a bit low at 316 strung, but I fixed that with 3g of lead in the hoop. Plays really well, not as demanding as my 18x20 Angell's, but more control than the 16x19 ones.
Funny. I bought the ezone98 as a back up racket for my Dunlop sx ls. Tried playing with it a few times and couldn’t get with the weird head shape and grip. Felt too muted too. 1-2 months later I switched over to it and actually play better than the the Dunlop. Guess took some adjustment. Weird
Yonex Racquets in general feel very good when hitting balls due to the big sweet spot but this is also their biggest downside. Balls feel good but are inconsistent. The isometric headshape gives you an unpredictable feedback that you don´t have with "oval" racquets. It´s not always an advatage to get more power when hitting the ball outside the sweetspot (especially for pros). The racquet doesn´f feel linear. When you hit the ball at the "end" of the sweetspot you get a lot of power but you don´t get the spin and string movement for control because the cut/difference in length of the main strings is quiet high compared to a oval shape racquet. The string length of oval shape racquets is linear. For example: Yonex racquets produces a lot of power when hitting the ball in the sweetspot (let´s say 3-4cm) next to the center, but lose it quiet fast when hitting a bit more outside. Oval shape raquects are more linear. The more you hit the ball in the center the more power and string movement you get. In conclusion: 1. With Isometric Headshapes you will lose some confidential when you hit the ball not perfectly and you still get a lot of power. 2. With an oval headshape you know what you get. For me its no a coincidence that the top players nowaday all play with oval shape racquets and some of the top or flop players play yonex (tiafoe, shapovalov, hurkacz...) These are just my 2 cents
It depends on the racket. The EZ 100 is quite stable at any point on the head. I think if there are pros using the brand, then it shouldn't be a problem, except for a little learning curve with isometric
My experience is Yonex gives little more tolerance on topspin shots than others. Having that few percents of more success when hitting can be useful for pros as well.
A lot of comments here trying to compare a rec player switching to Yonex to pros changing endorsements. Realistically pros are probably switching over not because they perceive Yonex to make better rackets, but because Yonex is offering more lucrative contracts and they have the resources to match their existing specs and have them made quickly and in large batches. I don’t understand why people are so loyal to one racket manufacturer or another when the reality is that all frames are effectively the same composition. I can barely notice the difference between frames provided they are in my usual spec-range. I just get bothered by Yonex because the grip shape is not what I’m used to
Just bought two new Wilson Blade 18x20 but still thinking about a switch to Yonex. Is the Ezone or Vcore worth it? Testing them is hard to do in Germany, espacially the new Versions.
I hit with the Yonex a while back...my racquet is a POG...the Yonex seemed to have I huge sweet spot and I enjoyed hitting with it. Do you think that you'll still be able to buy that stick in 45 years...?? as I just purchased another NEW POG 107 at TW.
Love my ezone 98. Anyone knows the strings that Shelton, Nakashima or Sock uses? I'm not sure if it is ptp in black, or in Shelton's case pt fire? Most players who use the ptp are playing with the yellow one
A Japanese focused racquet company witha Japanese heritage player even if American . Poss better endorsements and access to the japanese market and culture to help to reintergrate with .
for me, their QC is second to none, I've used other brands before and the variance in weight between the exact same rackets are honestly pretty bad, but not so with yonex (from my own experience anyway)
The only thing I don't like about Yonex is their grip shape. It gives me blisters for some reason. Still, for the Regna I've been willing to risk getting blisters. It's like a more stable EZ98.
@@jammies701 An L4 in YY and Babs feels a bit bigger than an L4 in Wilson and Head to me. The L3 Babs doesn't give me any issues. On frames I've traded for I've been able to use an L3 in Head or Wilson without issues as well. It's just the L3 Yonex grip that gives me a blister on my middle finger.
if yonex does their marketing properly, they can get many more volunteer players. I have played with Wawrinka racket and the RF97, seems identical in terms of control and power, only thing I noticed different was the very slightly higher swing weight. Their isometric shape helps in scooping last minute balls from the ground. most frames r extremely forgiving. most importantly, every single racket (in each model), is exactly the same weight, dimensions, swingweight, power, balance, stiffness. One cannot tell the difference. That is a big help in not worrying about the playing characteristics of a racket. Love wilson prostaff, upto 95 square inch. but they are so unpredictable in their dimensions, and even their grips have huge fluctuations. Bad manufacturing tolerances. of course, Federer would get the perfect molds, I think its unfair for these companies to sell the rackets with the players name but giving crappy rackets to public.
I actually remember bringing my 20 year old Head Ti.Radical 630 frames to string and the guy in the shop saying oh wow you got the made in Austria ones, they're actually good quality, hang onto them because the newer ones are nothing like that.
American player, but Japanese last name....so maybe Yonex wanted him for marketing? I play with two, and think it is the quality and fact it is made in Japan that vibes premium product. Funny because growing up, we all had Prince and only remember Martina Navratilova using Yonex..was like a woman racket.
Same things going to happen in tennis just like what has happened in the badminton world. Yonex is top dog in badminton, I think out of top ten they sponsor at least 7 of them. If anything this is probably already happening or happened.
For sure it's been going down for awhile.. same with the Pure Control it just disappeared basically. I still have the thin beam PS 16x19 98 and it's great but I rarely use it in matches.
Other brands can keep ignoring QC and purr lead randomly inside the handler or have +/- 7 official gram difference and 0.5cm balance points while Yonex will go over 30, then 40, then 50% of the market. Stupid businesses needs to be punished. My biggest questions are to Wilson and Head. Wilson you realy dont give a F that an average person will buy three racquets and play only with 1 because "it feels the best, others are different". Or Head with your oval handle shape. Ok cool, nice oval shape, but you ever tried to play a One handed backhand with your oval? You dont care that 1H bh that comes from other brands to Head are making CUSTOM handles 100% of the time because yours is unplayable? Well you dont care... ok. Once you had 60% of the top100 players in the world, now your radicals are dead, extremes are for hipsters and prestige for dinosaur players that are 30-35+
Tommy Paul has switched from Wilson Blade to VCORE and has been playing very well.
Yonex can do no wrong nowadays, they’re killing it big time
Really hope they don’t pull a Japanese company and fuck something up because “the consumers weren’t using it as we intended”
Making the frames and specs people want and make sense. Smart people. They listen to the market. It ain’t that complicated

For sure it's been going down for awhile.. same with the Pure Control it just disappeared basically. I still have the thin beam PS 16x19 98 and it's great but I rarely use it in matches.
Should make them 62ra strung like Thiem’s
Only three players in the ATP Top 20 using Yonex.
So.... _no._
Tennis is just pure areo and yonex tell me I’m wrong
I mean Head is also a big presence
Tsitsipas may have switched to Gut for the Mains and Luxilon Alu Power (Big Banger or Rough) for the crosses.
Vcore 100 was wrong. No feel at all. No sense of the ball on the strings. No idea where it was going.
Literally everyone in my country switch from yonex, it's just not that good...
Jack sock as well switched to yonex
Babolot 4 life
I, for one, will not be going to Yonex. I will be using the Head Gravity for the rest of my life.
When the crowd goes to the right, go to the left. 💪
Why so stubborn ?
I’m still using my old Wilson pro staff six one 90.
No we aren't.
Other brands can keep ignoring QC and purr lead randomly inside the handler or have +/- 7 official gram difference and 0.5cm balance points while Yonex will go over 30, then 40, then 50% of the market. Stupid businesses needs to be punished. My biggest questions are to Wilson and Head. Wilson you realy dont give a F that an average person will buy three racquets and play only with 1 because "it feels the best, others are different". Or Head with your oval handle shape. Ok cool, nice oval shape, but you ever tried to play a One handed backhand with your oval? You dont care that 1H bh that comes from other brands to Head are making CUSTOM handles 100% of the time because yours is unplayable? Well you dont care... ok. Once you had 60% of the top100 players in the world, now your radicals are dead, extremes are for hipsters and prestige for dinosaur players that are 30-35+
they are spending a lot of money to make paul change, kakashima and many other clowns on the circus tour
80% of woman top tour are playing ezone too..
80% Playing Blade*
Keep in mind he seems to be of asian origin.
He’s 100% asian. Dad is Japanese and mom is Vietnamese
ok?
Yonex are cool
Can't play a stick made in a CCP overseen factory, so YONEX for me.
yonex is the best
also Jack Sock is playing with Yonex now
Well, from my experience these guys are going to get arm pain with Yonex.
Nah thanks Prostaff 6.0 85 💯
Approved
First?
Yonex = girls power😂😂😂
