Description
The Yonex Osaka EZONE 98 Tennis Racquet was designed in collaboration with Naomi Osaka and her sister Mari Osaka. The Osaka EZONE is an added cosmetic to the 7th-generation EZONE series, which is crafted for power and comfort.Features:Super Cushion GripDual Shut SystemAero Shape Design – For a plush feel. An inverted frame design with a thinner frame face results in a softer racquet.Shaft Design – For improved stability and power. A thicker shaft structure with a convex design reduces unwanted racquet torque on off-centered shots for added power.Technology:Isometric – Developed over 30 years ago, the Isometric design increases the sweet spot by 7%. Compared to a conventional round frame, a square-shaped Isometric racquet generates a larger sweet spot by optimizing the intersection of the main and cross strings. Isometric technology delivers greater control without sacrificing power.Liner Tech – For improved power and comfort. Straight hole grommets elongate the strings to optimize power and comfort on off-center shots.Oval Pressed Shaft – First introduced in 1969 with the T-7000 – Yonexes first aluminum tennis racquet – the Oval Pressed Shaft (OPS) is still incorporated into their most popularracquet series today. The Oval Pressed Shaft is designed to give players more spin, control, and feel. The shaft flexes at impact, increasing dwell time and minimizing vibrations.Vibration Dampening Mesh – First used in snowboards to reduce vibrations at impact, Vibration Dampening Mesh (VDM) is now used in four Yonex racquet series. VDM is stretchy mesh material that is wrapped around the graphite within the grip to filter unwanted vibrations and improve touch and precision.Shockless Grommets – Shockless Grommets are integrated at the side and bottom of the frame to minimize muscle fatigue and provide a soft feel at impact to protect the wrist, forearm, and elbow by absorbing shock.2G-Namd Speed – Improved feel and ball speed. A high modulus graphite fibers are bound with a carbon nanotube (CNT) structure, reducing energy loss, which enables to transfer the energy into quick snapback.The Yonex philosophy has always remained the same: to contribute to the world through innovative technology and the highest-quality products.
