A lightweight 265 g, 100 sq in MUSE with a 16×18 pattern, positioned within Yonex’s new comfort-focused 2026 family.
Worth comparing if you want a lighter adult frame for easier preparation and handling. Use a demo to judge whether the lower mass still gives you enough stability and depth.
At 265 g unstrung it is substantially lighter than many standard club frames. Check stability on returns and against faster incoming balls rather than assuming lighter is automatically easier.
