Who should try it?
Try it if you want a 285 g racket and you’re happy making contact with a smaller head.
What to watch for
Lighter doesn’t mean easier to hit cleanly. If you want a bigger target, try the 100L.
How to demo it
Hit it next to the 100L. Same listed weight, different head size, so you’ll quickly learn which matters more to you.

From published reviews What reviewers say Few reviews yet for this generation.
Reviewers have concentrated on the standard EZONE 98. The 98L is lighter, so treat that summary as a guide to the family rather than to this frame. What reviewers say about the Yonex EZONE 98 →
What these specifications mean Head size (sq in) The string area inside the frame, in square inches. Bigger gives you more room for error. String pattern How many strings run each way. 16×19 means 16 running up the racket and 19 across. Unstrung weight The frame before it’s strung. Strings add roughly 15–20 g.
