Yonex's new EZONE DR range features Nanometric DR, a material developed by Toray Industries for spacecrafts. Applied to the racket, this material increases ball speed by 7% compared to graphite only constructions. This is achieved by increasing the flexural strength by 15% over graphite only frame (6.5% over EZONE Ai range). The result is that get a racket that flexes more and snaps back quicker for dynamic power and better stability.
The EZONE DR 98 in particular is the most control-oriented racket in the range. It has been built to meet the demands of players who take a big swing at the ball and therefore need the stability and feel to connect with those fast shots and execute big groundstrokes. It also feels very comfortable thanks to the Quick Shut Gel at the handle and shock less grommets at the bottom of the racket head (6 o'clock position).
It is a great option for hard-hitters looking for a little bit more control or for users of heavier traditional frames looking for a bit more comfort and spin from their racket.
