With several generations under its belt, the EZONE 100 continues its trajectory as one of the games most versatile and user-friendly player's racquets. Offering a slightly more forgiving and powerful response than the EZONE 98, this racquet not only rewards fast swings with easy targeting, it also gives you that signature Yonex feel (think plush and precise). For 2022 Yonex adds 2G NAMD SPEED to the graphite layup in the shaft, resulting in a more powerful response with better ball feedback. Yonex has also improved the beam construction, adding a thicker, more convex cross section in the shaft (for stability) along with a thinner frame face (for a softer response). Other technologies include Yonex’s time-tested ISOMETRIC head shape, a unique design feature that makes Yonex racquets feel more generous and forgiving than conventionally shaped equivalents. Ultimately, this update not only keeps a good thing going, it also recaptures the great feel of past iterations. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a speedy and versatile player's racquet should add this to their demo list.

#TennisWarehouse #yonextennis #ezone100
is it just me or are you all hitting really well - an inspired video day it seems 👍 first I was ooh Michelle is really hitting nicely, then I was oooh Chris too then ooh Brittany then oooh Tiffani niice and Jason niice 🤯
Seriously!
I ve watched the play testers over the years and they improved a lot which motivates me to work harder.
That's my racquet
This looks amazing. Yonex Ezone my favourite racquet line.
It is my favourite racquet. Awesome
For last version, I chose ezone 100 for playing mostly on clay over 98, I am a 4.5 player which change my line from vcore 95 to ezone due to be easier getting more power now that I have changed hard for clay courts. I felt better with my FH and serve with the 100 one, but my OHB is not very comfortable., long rallies are more bearable but,as you say, when going for a winner sometimes a bit more control should be nice. What would you recommend me? I'd go for 98 as I always pretend to attack and finish the point on midcourt but I am afraid losing that easy power that allows me to keep the point alive on clay. Thanks in advance for your labor helping us with your videos and podcasts.
Now that you have become accustomed to the EZONE 100, it would likely be the easiest transition into this newer version of the EZONE 100. That said, the EZONE 98 does help a bit with precision, and finding the corners of the court a bit better when being aggressive or hitting approach shots. As you mentioned, the power does come a bit easier with the 100 compared to the 98, so I guess it comes down to how much you are willing to sacrifice between the two. Personally, I favor the added control from the 98 headsize, and I usually add a bit of weight to the head of the racquet to get a little more plow and power. Troy, TW
I used to play with the Ai98 then I gave the 2015 Ezone 100 a chance but it felt too stiff, no control, and not as maneuverable. The current Yonex I have is the 2021 VCore 95, but it has become too small sweet spot for my aging self. I’m hoping the 2022 Ezone 100 will be different from my past experiences with it.
I'm strongly considering this one as my second racket! I own a Pro Staff 97L, chosen for control while compromising on power. The idea was to use it for casual tennis and to keep rallies going, which is easy with this racket with slicing and topspin, even if I choose to do full-on aggressive swings. However, occasionally I would play against much stronger opponents who hits with a lot of pace and my returns feel very lacking. If I want more power, without having to change my playstyle completely, which one should I go for - Ezone 100 or Vcore 100?
It's entirely dependent on your playstyle. Do you play with a ton of topspin? VCORE will help you swing harder with a semi- or western grip. EZONE just feels a lot more forgiving to me. (I own both, as well as older EZONE 100 and EZONE 98+ sticks, and a VCORE 100 and 98 as well.)
You should try both of them. They do not play very similarly.
@@mskcrc i was thinking in the v core 100, its in your opinion arm frienly ? differences with the e zone 100 ? thanks from Argentina.
Nice review...as always
What's the music that you all used here? I like this. Nice review as always. :)
The title is wrong, it should be 2022.
How is this compared to the Head 360+ Speed MP? In terms of spin, launch angle, and maneuverability? Thanks!!!
This one has a lower swingweight, and maneuvers a bit easier compared to the 360+ Speed MP. Spin and launch angle is pretty close between the two. String spacing is pretty close between the two, maybe a bit wider spaced with the EZONE 100, but it seems pretty close. Maybe for some players the maneuverability factor might help with racquet head speed, and topspin. Troy, TW
Does the 100 SL (Super Lite) come in a 4 1/2 grip size? What do you think is the difference in performance between the 100 & 100 SL?
Would love a comparison between the ezone 100 vs the new head boom - have demoed both and love both and am having trouble deciding 🤔
Both offer easy power, spin, and good comfort. The Boom MP is a bit more flexible, so maybe the slight edge in comfort, but the EZONE 100 is very good for comfort as well. The feel on the Boom is pretty muted, so its great for comfort and dampening, but one thing our testers noted is that they sometimes struggled with feeling the ball on contact, and the also the trajectory and depth of the resulting shot was sometimes a little unpredictable. The EZONE 100 feels a bit more precise, and has better overall control and predictability. Our TW playtesters Brittany, and Tiffany were on the reviews for both of these racquets, and they are big fans of the EZONE 100. -Troy, TW
Is this painting looks similar to new vcore? Or it’s just me?
The VCORE racquets are Red with a little accent of blue. Maybe you meant VCORE Pro? Either way, they a rather distinguishable when observing them in person. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse yeah, I was referring vcore pro.
Salve....complimenti per il video....vorrei sapere quale racchetta è migliore per un gioco principalmente da fondo campo tra la 98 e la 100 ezone 2022 ? Grazie

Hola, llevo un es con la Ezone 100 y siento el punto dulce muy reducido, en la parte superior del cordaje demasiado denso, he optado por bajar la tensión a 23/22 kg y ponerle un cordaje multifilamento, aún así se siente muy denso el patrón de encordado, seguiré bajando la tensión ya que estoy teniendo problemas en el brazo
How does Michelle play with a constant grin? Cast iron zygomaticus majors?!
How similar is this to the pure drive 2020?Does it have similar levels of power with more comfort?Or is it really the same. I'm looking at an alternative to the pure drive as I found that frame to stiff for me. Looking at the head speed mp(300g)\ezone 98 and head radical mp also. Thanks
We found the power to be up there with the Pure Drive, but with slightly more control coming from the EZONE 100 (2022). As far as comfort goes, definitely a more plush and comfortable feel coming from the EZONE 100 (2022). So definitely could be a good option for similar power to a Pure Drive, but a bit more control, and better comfort. I would say The Speed MP, and EZONE 98 would be even more control, and the Radical MP likely feeling the most precise of the bunch. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thanks Troy!
I have the latest version of the vcore 100. How would you compare the 2. I’m looking for a little more manoeuvrability, a little more power and a little more comfort. I’m not a heavy spin player so I’m ok if it provides less spin
Thanks for your help !
Wilson clash 100
How would you compare this to the Prince twistpower x100 tour? And which one do you guys prefer and why?
What Are the main difference between the ezone 100 and the new vcore Pro 100 ...and which of these is better for someone with shoulder Problems ?
Thx....
EZONE 100 packs easier power, and swings with easier maneuverability. The VCORE Pro offers a bit more control, and feel for the ball. They both have pretty good comfort, although the VCORE Pro is more flexible, which gives a softer feel and helps to reduce vibration or shock. That said, with a shoulder issue, it might not be a problem, so much of racquet stiffness but rather maneuverability, and the EZONE 100 is a bit more maneuverable, while still being pretty comfortable for its slightly higher stiffness compared to the VCORE Pro 100. Troy, TW
What are the differences between this new version and the previous one (about spin and power)?
Spin is pretty similar between the two, both being very spin friendly. This 2022 version is a bit more flexible, so gives it a bit more plush feel, and slightly more comfort, as well as feeling slightly easier to control, although provide pretty easy access to power. Troy, TW
Excellent work as always. Does the Ezone 100 or 98 come close to the Speed MP ? Power, spin en and control are quite perfect for me on the speed but I think the upperhoop is quite stiff (mistimed serves or hard volleys hurt my elbow a bit). Somehow I struggle also with my 2hbh with the speed. Forehand is a dream. With the radical mp it is the otherway, go figure.
Definitely a different feel from the EZONE's, as they are pretty plush feeling and have good vibration dampening, but also somewhat muted in the feel. The EZONE 100 will be a bit more power, or easier power the Speed MP, and the EZONE 98 a bit more control, and precision. With the Yonex head shape, and increased sweet-spot, I would think you might want to try the EZONE 98, although the 100 is really nice as well, if you don't mind a bit more power on tap. Troy, TW
Thanks ! I will give the 98 a try. I for sure do not need more power than the Speed MP!
Michelle mentioned adding weight. Where would you add weight to this since it is quite evenly balanced already?
If I were to customize the racquet for her, as I know her specs pretty well, I would likely get her dialed in with swingweight, maybe ad some weight near 10/2 or 12 o'clock, so that SW is somewhere around 330-335. Then once she feels pretty dialed in with swing speed and timing, then add some tail-weight, maybe get her closer to 12 ounces or so, and that would bring the headlight balance back a bit. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thanks Troy!
Just checking because it’s already very stable.
@@GreenTimYoung, Yeah, sometimes adding weight isn't always because the racquet is lacking something, but more because some players like Michelle and I prefer the feel of swinging a heftier frame, swing speed, timing, etc. Brittany plays with the EZONE 100 in stock form, and plays very well with it, and she has always preferred that type of spec. So it is a very individual thing when it comes to the specs a player prefers. Troy, TW
What is the main difference between Ezone 100 2022 and DR 100? Should I consider change from DR?
If you have used previous versions, this should be an easy adjustment. The main difference will be a slight change in feel, and we would say the DR 100 was maybe a tad bit more powerful as well. Like Jason mentioned in this video, it definitely is close to the DR 100 in terms of a plush feel, but maybe not quite as soft feeling as the EZONE Ai 100. Hope that helps, Troy TW
@@tenniswarehouse Thank you very much! So I will definitely try this one out!
I have the previous ezone 100 and it’s a joy to hit the ball, I had wrist pain with pure strike and ezone “healed my arm”.
Got one question, I was thinking about changing to vcore pro because it seems sometimes it lacks control but never tested; how is this new ezone compared with the previous model?
With the softer response on the new 100, I had more control and a plusher feel on contact compared to the current version (my main racquet). I demo'd both versions thinking I would go with the 98 this time, but I stuck with the 100 and plan on doing a hybrid string setup to add a little more control and attempt to bridge that gap with the 98.
How is it? Was the racket annoying for the arm? Is it very rigid?
We didn't have any arm issues with this one; it plays stable and paired with the right strings, maybe try Poly Tour Air at 52 lbs! You should be just fine unless you are extra prone to arm irritation!
Michelle, TW
Do you have a prevision when the TW review with notes will be at TW website?
@Felipe Lunelli,
We are hoping to have them up very soon. Thanks for your patience!
Michelle, TW
should i add lead on it?
How is this racquet compared to Pure Aero 2019? I am pretty happy with the PA but it is always fun to buy new things :) I am addicted to the power but i would like a little softer feel.
Played both. Easier to swing with the ezone due to the lower SW (317 vs 324). Less Power and spin with the ezone but more control compared to the Pure Aero.
In terms of spin, is this version less spin-oriented than the previous one? I tested the previous version and in terms of power, spin, and feel I loved it, it lacks a bit of control but this is normal considering the type of racquet it is.
The string spacing is pretty open or spaced apart on this update, so you should find spin to come just as easy on this one as the previous version. Troy, TW
Which strings you recomend for this new update? thanks!
There are a lot of good string options to use in this racquet. Our playtesters usually prefer a co-poly, like Solinco Hyper-G, Volkl Cyclone, Head Lynx Tour, usually the 1.25mm gauge, but that is just our preference. Some players with a history of arm problems, or tennis elbow might want to go with a softer string, such as nice multifilament like Tecnifibre NRG2, or Prince Premier Power. And if you are somewhere in between, then a hybrid could be the way to go. What is your usual string choice? Troy, TW
Hello tw! Please tell us, what model feels more maneuverable between this one, 2020 version and AI100? A top 3 would be better! Thanks!
PS: Jason`s opinion if possible.
It is very close between the 2020 and 2022 EZONE 98, average swingweight is almost identical, both very quick feeling for a 305 gram frame. The EZONE Ai 100 is a bit lighter at 300 grams (unstrung frame), but also had a bit higher average swingweight, so it swung with a bit more plow. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse I asked between Ezone 100 2022, Ezone 100 2020 and Ai 100.
At DR 100 Video, Jason says that Ai 100 feels more.maneuverable than DR despite higher swingweight.
Thanks
Whoops, sorry I was thinking the EZONE 98, since it is the better racquet 😁...I will see if Jason can recall any significant differences. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse I’m really curious to know how Ezone 100 plays vs 98+ ..? I’m slightly torn.. I’m an aggressive style player playing double handed forehand and backhand.. not considering the 100+ because of your less positive feedback on manoeuvrability..
What are the orange strings that were used in the play test?
Yonex Poly Tour Rev. Troy, TW
Hey, TW, I'm a 3.0 USTA, 30 y/o Male; I've been experiencing some slight arm irritation with this frame, EZONE 100 2022 (Slightly unsure if it's poor technique or not.) But, are there any recommendations to mitigate the issue? (Current setup; Mains: Solinco X-Natural (Multi) @ 58lbs (16 gauge)
Cross:Ashaway Monogut ZX @52lbs (16 gauge). Please advise. Thank you.
This racquet has pretty good comfort overall. You could consider experimenting with the string and tension a bit. I would say for more comfort, you could try a full bed of multifilament like the X-Natural, or something like Tecnifibre NRG2 or Head Velocity MLT, and also maybe consider coming down in tension to around 55 pounds. Also, if you are up for experimenting you might also think about a little weight customization. A little bit of weight added to the sides of the hoop (3 and 9 o'clock) can help with stability of the racquet on contact, and also will increase the swingweight, which can help with plow through and depth of shot. Here is some more information on how to add weight to your racquet and some of the benefits. www.tennis-warehouse.com/learning_center/how_to/customize_your_tennis_racquet.html. Troy, TW
Harber Trafficway
Is it the best choice for beginners? Thanks
The EZONE line is well liked by our playtesters and the racquets are very versatile and like by a variety of playing styles and levels. I would say for a beginner, the EZONE 105 or 110 would probably be the more suitable option, but if you wanted to go with the 100 headsize then maybe the EZONE 100L might be a bit easier to use. Troy, TW
will yonnex be releasing a extended version of this like the previous iterations?
Yes, according to the Yonex website. If you go to this page: www.yonex.com/07ezone, and go to series, and scroll over to the extended models, it shows that they should be launching around August, 2022. Troy, TW
Michelle, how do you never lose your smile when playing?
Hah! You are seeing a highlight reel :)
I definitely have my moments but often am laughing because I have funny people around me and I do love smashing the ball!
Michelle, TW
I m currently playing with an pure aero of 2016 and i like it but i m struggling with control.I used to play with dr98 before but i had no power.Do you think this new ezone 100 gaps the characteristincs of these two sticks? I need power (i dont want to go in 98 sq inch head anymore ) put i d like more control! Thanks in advance!
This one sounds like it could be a great fit for you. The easy power is there with this EZONE 100, as well as easy access to spin, however all of the playtesters agreed that there is an improvement in control, and feel. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thank you Troy for one more time!
good i am considering buying a rocket yonex enzone 100 or enozene which will be released in version L I am currently playing head gravity MP I have also tried Tecnifibre TFight 300 RS is a demanding transformation I am moderately advanced for the answer thank you
Sorry, but just to clarify, you are considering the Yonex EZONE 100, but not sure which racquet you mean for "enozene"? If you could clarify, that would help me to make a recommendation. Troy, TW
on ezone 100 and ezone 100 L or 98 L to be released on March 8, 2022 for the answer thank you
@@milankondor9277, If you want something less demanding, the EZONE 100 or 100L will provide you with easier power, and a bit bigger sweet-spot. The EZONE 98L will give a bit more control and precision, but not quite as easy of power like the 100 or 100L. If you want some added maneuverability, then 100L or 98L will be a bit easier, than the EZONE 100. Hope that helps, -Troy TW
@@tenniswarehouse well thank you
How’s it compared to Clash 100?
Biggest difference will likely come down to the feel. With the Clash having that softer, and overall more plush feel. This EZONE 100 is pretty comfortable as well, but definitely some difference in stiffness and overall feel. Power/control is hugely different, but maybe a bit more of a controlled feel with the Clash 100, and a bit more lively with the EZONE 100 2022. Troy, TW
Tennis Warehouse thanks Troy. Happy holidays 🙏❤️
Hi, is the DR Version less stiff?
Is this racquet comfortable and arm friendly? I found the previous blue 100 a stiff feeling.
Yes, we found it to feel more plush and comfortable. As some of the testers mentioned in this video, kind of getting closer to that plush feel of the DR 100, if familiar with that one, but maybe not quite as soft feeling as the older EZONE Ai 100. Troy, TW
As a current Ezone 100 user, yes. It is plusher and more comfortable.
Jason s top spin fh is insane.
What string and tension do you recommend for Ezone 100 if I want more control and confort ?
We usually go with a poly like Volkl Cyclone at about 52 or 53 pounds. However for comfort, that might not be the best option, so you might consider a hybrid or going a bit higher in tension with a multifilament. What strings have you tried in the past, or do you know what you are currently playing with? Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse how about Yonex Polytour pro ? Is it a good option? Do you have another options? I’ve tried Head Lynx Tour 1.25 and Grapplesnake m8 tour.
Poly Tour Pro is a nice choice for a poly. We would probably go with a tension on that of about 52 or 53 pounds. Lynx Tour is a bit on the stiffer side, not super familiar with M8 Tour. We also like Kirschbaum Pro Line II, and Tecnifibre Razor Soft are some good choices as well; on these probably 52 pounds. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse thank you
Hi TW,
which Ezone 100 have the best comfort?
This 2022 EZONE 100 has plenty of comfort, nice and plush feel to it. Troy, TW
What would be a good soft string that still feels crisp? I like Yonex 850 but only sometimes. Other times it feels dead.
It's been a while, but from what I recall, the Gamma Live Wire Professional is a good one. Also Luxilon Natural Gut is a great choice, but also somewhat pricey for some. Troy, TW
I’m using Babolat Pure Drive 2021 with Tencifiber NRG2 55lbs and want to have Ezone 100 as my other racket. Please advise which string to go with Ezone 100 that works on me? Thanks 🙏
Those two racquets have a lot of similarities, so if you like that string in the Pure Drive we suggest trying it in the EZONE 100 as well. Troy, TW
How does this compare to Head Instinct MP 2022 in terms of power , stability , comfort and control ?
We find the EZONE 100 to provide slightly easier access to power, and feels a bit more stable, also with a bit more of a generous sweet-spot. Comfort is relatively close between the two, and maybe just a slight bit more control from the Instinct MP 2022. Troy, TW
Hi, is the control improved in this version, as it was the reason I stayed with 2017 version?
Compared to the previous 2020 version of the EZONE 100, this update feels slightly more plush or comfortable, and slightly more control oriented. In this video, Tiffany points out right around @2:18 in this video, about how she felt the control was improved. Troy, TW
After demoing both the 98 and 100, I feel confident saying the new 100 has more control than the current iteration. It's my main racquet right now, and the qualities of the 2022 version got me to preorder it immediately.
Hi, I need to update my racket and I want a 100 sq in head size and 10.6 oz unstrung. Do you recommend the vcore pro 100 or the ezone 100?
Both are great choices, however the EZONE 100 will provide a bit easier power, and the VCORE Pro 100 provides a bit more control and feel from the thinner straight beam. Which racquet are you coming from? And what are you seeking? Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse I'm switching from the Wilson Blade 100L v8 and I want a racket that's very similar to it, just a little increase in the weight.
The EZONE 100 will provide a bit easier power, if you are seeking a little more of that coming from the Blade 100L. I would say, the VCORE Pro 100 will be slightly closer to the Blade 100L overall, but with a bit more flex and comfort built into the frame. Troy, TW
Hi, what grip is you using, I normally use L2 all raquets , I must buy L1 for Ezone 100.? Ty
I believe for this playtest we had one test racquet with an L2, and one with an L3 grip size. Some people find that the Yonex run slightly larger than other brands. Some people like to go down a grip size, and some stay with their regular size, and just adapt to it. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Ty me for answer, ti helo me a lot, chheer
@@tenniswarehouse I mean grip 2 in my head speed, mast I buy for Ezone 100 grip 1 size, becose Yonex is bigger than speed I think?
What do you think? I did buy in teniswerehouse but I am not sure if grip 1 is better for me or I must buy grip 2 as my head speed
@tenniswarehouse I’m really curious to know how Ezone 100 plays vs 98+ ..? I’m slightly torn.. I’m an aggressive style player playing double handed forehand and backhand..
Comparing the EZONE 100 (standard length) compared to the EZONE 98+, the EZONE 100 will basically be a more user-friendly racquet, easier to swing or maneuver, and has a slightly bigger or more forgiving sweet-spot. The EZONE 98+ swings with a much heftier feel or higher swingweight, and has a bit more of a precise feel from the 98 headsize. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse Cheers, Troy. Helpful. I currently use 98+ 6th edition and I really like it in all aspects except for the forgiveness - at net in doubles where either I overhit or mishit of centre. I just don't know at this stage, based on your reviews, whether the EZ 100 or the 100+ would address this aspect and keep me happy on all the other aspects I really like on the ezone 98+ 2020
@@nrmm, so the EZONE 100+ will swing with that hefty feel of the 98+, but have a bit more forgiveness. The EZONE 100 will also have a bit more forgiveness, but also much more maneuverable, but less plow through, and a bit less stable feel as well, with the swingweight being quite a bit lower. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse great helpful feedback, Troy - many thanks. It seems that it’s leaning me towards the Ezone 100+ , do you feel that it would be a more natural evolution for someone coming out of a Ezone 98+ who’s just looking for added forgiveness? Also regarding strings.. on my current 98+ , I have vs 17 mains with lynx tour 17 at 55/52; sometimes balls can sail a tad long. With the added power of the 100+ would you recommend an hybrid like strike as mains let’s say at 50 with VS crossed at 53 ? Or just go full poly to mitigate risk of getting a rocket launcher on my hands? I’m always craving for predictability… many thanks again, Troy!
It seems like the EZONE 100+ would likely be a pretty smooth transition coming from the EZONE 98+, especially if you like that higher swingweight (it doesn't bother you maneuverability wise, and the easy power and depth. Not to say that you wouldn't like the EZONE 100, and with likely some added weight to the hoop, it could be a good option as well. Sometimes with standard length racquets you get that feeling of more connectedness to the ball and shot placement, but not quite the added boost on shots and plow through of the extended length. As far as strings go, I tend to prefer a full bed of a poly like Hyper-G or Lynx Tour (usually 1.25mm) around like 45 to 48 pounds, but I don't usually have arm issues, and it helps maximize control and spin. So if you go with the hybrid, maybe increase tension a bit, or if you go full poly maybe drop tension a bit, but in the end find what is best for you arms in terms of comfort and health. Troy, TW
how is this compared with the newest Baolat Pure Aero?
Very similar specs overall, but even though the stiffness is the same, we would give the slight edge in overall arm comfort to the EZONE 100 2022, having really good vibration dampening and a more plush feel. Both are very spin friendly, but maybe just the slight edge in spin with the Pure Aero. We also noticed a bit more control from the EZONE 100 2022, especially in the aspect of hitting a slightly flatter shot, or on the slice, when compared to the Pure Aero. The Pure Aero is is maybe a bit more like the VCORE 100 in the way it plays. Troy, TW
Do you guys think Wilson Sensation at around 54 pounds could work in this?
Sure! You can't go wrong with Sensation! It might not be the most durable, but it is tried and true and will be great in this racquet!
Michelle, TW
Can this racquet be strung 1 piece? Thanks!
Yonex recommends that all their racquets be strung as two-piece, and in this case especially since the mains end/tie-off at the bottom (near the throat) it should be strung as a two-piece. You could potentially string it one piece, around the world, but since Yonex recommends two-piece, if for some reason they can prove the racquet was strung one-piece or improperly, then it may be means to void the one-year manufacturer warranty.

How does it compare to Regna ?
This one is pretty similar to the Regna 100 in terms of maneuerability, but the Regna has a thinner beam and a bit lower flex, which gives it more control and feel. This EZONE 100 (2022) offers easier access to power, and and is a bit more spin friendly, although spin potential is pretty close between the two. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse troys responses are the best. I demoed the pro staff 97 regular. how can I make my Regna more pro staff. Regna balls fly on me on my one handed backhand. Feels too light.
@@islandmerchandise3017, Glad to try and help. Do you have the Regna 98 or 100? If it feels a bit too light, you might consider a little bit of added weight near the 3/9 or 2/10 o'clock regions of the hoop, which should add a bit of stability, and plow through. As far as the balls flying on you, maybe try a more controlled string or slightly higher tension, or thicker gauge. We like Solinco Confidential, Hyper-G, Head Lynx Tour, and Luxilon 4G for lots of control. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse I have both Regna 98 and 100. 98 doesn’t fly on me as much, maybe it’s because I’ve got 4g at higher tension. I’ll try and put some weight on it. I’ll try the same on the 100.

@@tenniswarehouse Thanks
*Sorry, this might be a dumb question...but I'm a newbie. lol When they re-string, do they use spray-can paint to get the Yonnex, Wilson, Head, Babolat logos on the strings? or are they only on the original strings that come from the manufacturers? Thanks!*
I have tried that before with a spray paint, making sure the racquet was completely covered except for the string-bed. The spray paint that I used didn't seem to stick very well to the slick polyester strings. We sell stencil ink, and you apply as shown in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Ei71hT_XWus/v-deo.html. Troy, TW
Do you sell grommet yonex ezone 100 2022?
We sell the grommet set for the older version, 2020 EZONE 100, which might fit the 2022 EZONE 100, but we haven't actually had the chance to try installing them on the newer version so can't make any guarantees for the compatibility. The item is also on back order. Troy, TW
