2026 Yonex Ezone 98 Tour (Espresso Brown)
2026 Yonex EZONE 98 Tour – Espresso Brown Edition Power players, this one’s yours. The 2026 EZONE 98 Tour in Espresso Brown brings a bold, refined cosmetic update to one of Yonex’s most feared player frames. Designed for experienced competitors who crave explosive power, rock‑solid stability, and uncompromising precision, this Tour model delivers a heavier, more authoritative response while keeping the plush feel the EZONE line is known for. Tour‑Level Stability & Controlled Power The EZONE 98 Tour builds on the performance upgrades introduced in the previous generation, giving ball‑strikers a racquet that absorbs pace effortlessly and returns it with controlled aggression. A lower beam stiffness creates a buttery, connected feel at impact, while the thicker upper‑hoop beam adds stability and power when you take full cuts. Inside the frame, a newly engineered inner‑groove geometry optimizes flex through contact, helping the racquet bend in all the right ways for cleaner energy return and improved directional control. Ultra‑Comfort Through Advanced Materials Yonex integrates Minolon ultra‑thin natural fibers into the shaft, dramatically reducing harsh vibrations and enhancing comfort during long, high‑intensity matches. Combined with 2G NAMD SPEED, the racquet maximizes energy transfer to the ball, giving you more pop without sacrificing feel. The iconic ISOMETRIC™ head shape expands the sweet spot by 7%, offering a more forgiving response than traditional oval frames — a signature advantage for players who demand consistency under pressure.
