EZONE
The EZONE family is all about controllable power and amazing feel. Pros including Naomi Osaka, Nick Kyrgios and Coco Vandeweghe all endorse EZONE rackets. With its latest update to the EZONE family, Yonex stayed true to what made the previous versions popular: "best in class" feel and a thicker frame, which translates to easy power. The 2020 EZONE line offers a modern blend of power, speed and spin to every ability level. Options for beginners range from the lightest EZONE FEEL (250g) to the biggest head size of the EZONE 108. Advanced players will enjoy the EZONE 98 and EZONE 100 models, while fans of extended rackets looking for a boost in power and stability will find the EZONE 98+ and EZONE 100+ to be extremely pleasing.
VCORE
Players who like to hit spin-loaded balls that drop hard and hop high will not be let down by Yonex's VCORE rackets. Excellent levels of spin, speed and precision helped these rackets earn endorsements from pro players like Denis Shapovalov and Angelique Kerber. The VCORE 100 L(280) and the VCORE 98 (285) are both user-friendly options, while the VCORE 100 (300) will be a great choice for intermediate players looking for a spin-friendly racket with easy targeting on full swings. Advanced players on the search for surgical precision should take a look at the VCORE 95 or the VCORE 98 (305). Players who don't shy away from everything that extended rackets can offer should definitely consider testing the VCORE 100+, where the longer length translates into an unmistakable boost in plow through and spin.
VCORE Pro
Fans of traditional player's rackets should definitely check out the VCORE Pro line. Yonex adds the undeniable precision of a traditional player's racket to the VCORE Pro family, which perfectly covers the needs of pro players like Stanislas Wawrinka or Frances Tiafoe. Dedicated beginners or rising intermediate players who want to hit a more accurate ball should take a look at the VCORE Pro Alpha (270), which is the lightest member of the family. The intermediate player who wants a great feeling racket with easy targeting on full swings should consider the VCORE Pro 100 (300). Experienced players looking to hit a heavy ball will not be disappointed by the more advanced options of the VCORE Pro line. Endorsed by Wawrinka, the VCORE Pro 97 330 packs a massive 332-RDC swingweight, while the VCORE Pro 97HD 18x20 and VCORE Pro 97 310 also deliver control and feel for the advanced player.
