First of all, the technical features of the Yonex EZONE Ai 98 and there are quite a few. The Ai (Air Impulse) technology ensures less air resistance, resulting in a faster swing. Max Sweet Spot: the renewed Isometric (angled) blade shape and an improved tubing system enlarge the sweet spot. Trans Weight System ensures more swing weight and therefore faster swings due to a different weight distribution in the frame (without disturbing the balance). The Dual Shut System ensures less vibrations to the arm.

This is one of the few frames with a somewhat heavier, traditional weight with a more open 16/19 string pattern. The racket therefore has easy access to spin and takes the ball into the strings a bit longer, which also gives a lot of ball feel. In fact, the EZONE Ai 98 has the power and spin of the Babolat Aeropro Drive, but with more control. Now that the Wilson Blade 98 16/19 is no longer in the collection for the Benelux for 2015, the Yonex EZONE Ai 98 fills this gap perfectly. Due to the low 31.0 balance, this racket is also fast and easier to handle at the net.

So if you are looking for a heavier frame with a lot of power and spin potential, but with a classic feel and control, check out the Yonex EZONE Ai 98 310 grams. There is also a lighter 285 gram version of this frame available with a 33.0 balance.
