With several generations under its belt, the EZONE 100 continues its trajectory as one of the game's 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.
