ill stick with the aqua night black until they release a different colorway on this one. for some reason playing with bright racquets throws me off lol
Great commentary thank you. Can I ask a question please. Coming from the RF01 pro where I’ve developed elbow issues. This Ezone is interesting to me for that reason. Would you suggest the 98 or the 98 tour in this scenario?
I didn’t know the DR98 was missed I thought I was the only one, the last DR98 I had was the last gen they made of it (2018 I think) and they got rid of it the following year, the feel of the newer racquet felt horrible so I’ve hesitant to go back to an ezone
They keep saying that. But I just tried it without a dampener and it felt great. I felt the ball was able to spin or flatten it out and aim deep or short in the court. Played with it once and ordered a pair. Switched over from the Wilson blade.
No, not everyone wants a DR98, the 2022 Ezone was better than the DR98, I used the DR98+ for two years, it wasn't....that.....magical. The Regna is though.
How can this be closer to the DR98? They added an additional dampening material on top of last gen’s dampening material VDM. DR98 = raw feel ; EZ98 ‘25 = extra extra dampened feel. Your Yonex rep needs to do his homework, lol.
I like the colorway. 80s/90s vibes.

What about playing against someone with a bright racquet 😁
2nd colorway typically comes after 10 months😅 will wait for the Osaka and 2nd colorway as well
Can't wait for the ezone 100 review. I almost pull the trigger on the 2022 version.
According to the first reviews it is more like the Astrel. Way too much power.
Get the 2022 Ezone 100.
cannot wait for ezone 98 tour review
Ha...Harry said the same when Ezone 98 2021/2 was released. Always...closer to DR, but never be there... 🙂
1st comment 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Placed order for Yonex Ezone 98 aqua night and waiting since 2 weeks 😢😢😢
I play with the previous version. Love it. But I have been hoping the next model would be softer, so I can't wait to try this.
Great cosmetic, can’t wait to demo the 100!
...the DR is legend...last time I took mine to club, and instructor wanted to buy it off me
Probably my next racket. I still use the Deep Blue
what dont you like about deep blue
@@berlianagusta5675 only that it's old and used
I hate this color though 😢
I love it
Love blue. But NOT this shade of it. ☹️
I love this blue. but I wish it didn't have that little green on there.
@@moodymoralAlcaraz colorway
Agree - female using it is ok but not men
Great commentary thank you. Can I ask a question please. Coming from the RF01 pro where I’ve developed elbow issues. This Ezone is interesting to me for that reason.
Would you suggest the 98 or the 98 tour in this scenario?
Would you customize the new Ezone 98?? Leather or Lead? Thanks and regards from Germany!
What is s DR 98 ?
I didn’t know the DR98 was missed I thought I was the only one, the last DR98 I had was the last gen they made of it (2018 I think) and they got rid of it the following year, the feel of the newer racquet felt horrible so I’ve hesitant to go back to an ezone
In case I missed it, do we know what the RA is yet? Thanks as always for the content!
Here for the RA as well
@@curttheboywonder I saw a review talking about 58 on the new and 63 on the old
@@MrGiulianomathank you, anything below 60 is good going. I think comfort is the current battleground for the majority of rackets!
It’s looking for the 90’s party.
For the love of God someone teach coach Rob a modern forehand 😂
The color doesn't seem that bad. maybe in person, it is different.
Apparently this racquet is very muted and mushy. The flex is close to the dr, but the feel isn’t the same. Maybe a leather grip could save it but idk.
If you dont use the same material it cant be the same 😉
@ yep
They keep saying that. But I just tried it without a dampener and it felt great. I felt the ball was able to spin or flatten it out and aim deep or short in the court. Played with it once and ordered a pair. Switched over from the Wilson blade.
They killed what makes the ezone special : dark colors
Ain’t letting go of me DR98’s
Rpm rough is the best string to combo with e.zones
Try grapplesnake game changer
polytour pro ist he best for any yonex racket
Where is Mr DR guy(Andy Gerst), we need hear his opinions.
Awful Smurf blue, yikes. I’m buying the old model on runout for half price with a cool paint job.
"So close, so close but it's never the same as DR98" always the same comment! Why doesn't Yonex release an edition of Ezone DR 98 for fans!
The in the color schemes of the v7 10/10 but the v8 5/10
Nick Kyrgios would say.... WTF...that colour?! OMG Bro!!!
we'll see when he plays in 2024
Nick kyrgios played in fluo yellow
Babolat’s new PD 98 is almost the same color
Great review! But 1.5x speed is perfect due to your rate of speech.
Oh a hubba bubba yonexstick
Let’s call it the “toy color” racket.
love the color way. I hate dark racquets. so boring
I hate the Matte. Would have looked way better if they made it glossy.
Yonex are moving with Apple. Same colours as 2 of the iPhone 16
even by the sound you can tell this racquet is ultra dampened like the vcores. won't be going back to the Ezone anytime soon.
I don't think so, feels pretty good to me. I was worried about over dampeneing but it didn't feel it
@@RickyVoss-tu4dd lol judging a racket just off the sound from a video 😂 Jesus what has the tennis world come too haha

sorry, but music while you guys were hitting is to much
Yeah

Ube ice cream!
A new color …oh boy, everyone go out and buy it. The color will make you play better. 😂😂😂. Don’t fall for this. It’s all marketing and sales.
this ugly color and black too make me wish to switch to Dunlop. its easy to make nice design color but not for ezone, at least
sounds even more muted . how many fools are gonna buy this?
Sounds like a disappointment
This racquet has no target.
Buy your own coffee
what a ugly color😂
This racquet was soft mushy dampened garbage. Yonex must be aiming this at middle aged / ladies who lunch brigade.
Where did you demo it? Is it even avalaible yet for us common lot 😂
No it wasn't? I tried it at the first launch event in China last saturday and it felt great. Not overly dampened at all
All the ladies I know who play tennis use those gigantic stiff Head rocket launcher things lol.
@@uchihasasuke7436 think he’s just a hater and hasn’t tried it. People are so odd sometimes
