Who should try it?
Compare it with the EZONE 100 if you prefer a 98 sq in head and want to judge your placement on full swings.
What to watch for
The smaller head makes late and defensive contact harder. Check you still get useful depth when you’re tired.
How to demo it
Play points, not just rallies. Defending from deep in the corner is where a 98 gets found out.
