At <strong>315 g<\/strong>, it sits in a weight range that many experienced players look for when they want extra mass behind the shot without going to an extreme. In practical terms, that usually means a racket that can feel more composed on contact and rewarding when you swing with intent.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>320 mm balance point<\/strong> gives you a useful reference when comparing it with other rackets in the same family or across different brands. By itself, that number does not tell the full story, but it is an important part of how the racket is set up and will help shoppers narrow down frames that match their preferred feel.<\/p>\n<h3>String pattern and playing feel<\/h3>\n<p>The <strong>16 x 19 string pattern<\/strong> is a familiar modern setup. For many players, this format offers a good blend of feel, spin access and all-round playability, while still leaving room to fine-tune the racket with your choice of string and tension. If you already know what you like from your current frame, this is a specification that makes comparison straightforward.<\/p>\n<p>Finished in <strong>Blast Blue<\/strong>, the Yonex Ezone 98 TOUR also comes in <strong>G2<\/strong> and <strong>G4<\/strong> grip sizes, both at the same <strong>315 g<\/strong> weight. That means the main decision is the grip size that feels most comfortable in your hand, rather than changing the racket\u2019s core setup.<\/p>\n<h3>Who it suits<\/h3>\n<p>This racket will appeal most to intermediate and advanced players who want a tennis racket with a more serious on-court presence and are comfortable handling a 315 g frame. It is also a sensible model to compare if you are moving up from a lighter racket and want something that may feel steadier through contact.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand<\/th>\n<td>Yonex<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Model<\/th>\n<td>Ezone 98 TOUR<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Product type<\/th>\n<td>Tennis racket<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Weight<\/th>\n<td>315 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Balance Point<\/th>\n<td>320 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>String Pattern<\/th>\n<td>16 x 19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Grip sizes<\/th>\n<td>G2, G4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Colour<\/th>\n<td>Blast Blue<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Yonex Ezone 98 TOUR<\/strong> is a 315 g tennis racket built for players who want a more substantial feel without moving into the heaviest end of the market.
