With this light version of the EZONE 100, Yonex serves up plush comfort and easy targeting to intermediate players. It's also a solid option for the dedicated beginner or competitive junior who wants a racket that will reward continued improvement. Like the previous generation, this update moves through contact with lightning speed, making it easy for improving players to master the mechanics of pace and spin. For 2025, Yonex overhauls the frame's geometry, thickening the beam in the upper hoop to enhance power and stability while adding a groove on the inner portion of the frame to help the racket bend optimally through impact. To further enhance comfort, Yonex adds ultra-thin and flexible fibers to the shaft (called Minolon) to dampen harsh vibrations. Yonex also continues with 2G NAMD SPEED, an advanced material innovation that helps the frame transfer more energy to the ball. The most important design feature is the ISOMETRIC head shape, which gives this stick an undeniably more plush and responsive feel than conventionally shaped equivalents. With nice tweaks to the feel and response, the EZONE 100L continues to provide a great entry point into the spin, power, and comfort of the EZONE family.
