Overview

Featuring a awesome white and gold, cosmetic, Yonex introduces a very special version of the EZONE 98 (305g). Commemorating the historic achievements of WTA phenom Naomi Osaka, this racquet features the same specs and playability of the original blue version. The EZONE 98 Naomi Osaka LE not only packs impressive spin and precision, it also has better touch and feel than many of its competitors. For 2020, Yonex has redesigned the beam for greater stability and made the hitting area slightly wider for an even more forgiving response. New technologies include a Liner Tech system, which reduces string on frame friction for extra comfort and power. This technology also features denser string spacing in the center for control, with wider string spacing on the edges for less shock on off-center hits.  To improve frame stability and optimize the flex at impact, Yonex adds a uniquely strong and elastic graphite, called M40X, to the throat. This racquet also features Vibration Dampening Mesh in the handle for fewer vibrations and a cleaner feel at impact. On groundstrokes the EZONE 98 Naomi Osaka LE feels fast, spin-friendly and very accurate.  Compared to the previous generation of the EZONE 98, this racquet is decidedly more responsive and plush in the upper hoop. With its sub 320-RDC swingweight, this racquet isn't as stable as a traditionally weighted player's racquet, but the light weight and easy acceleration definitely come in handy when scrambling on defense or attempting to crank a winner on the run. At net the EZONE 98 plays great on reaction volleys, and it also has excellent placement and touch for those who like moving their opponents around. Aggressive servers will find the needed precision to swing  for power, and there is more than enough spin-potential to hit effective kickers and slices. Ultimately, with this impressive limited edition version of the EZONE 98, Yonex has delivered a great racquet to both tennis enthusiasts and collectors.  The fact that it has surgical targeting and great feel is a very nice bonus.
