Overview
The Yonex EZONE 108 Extended Green Performance Tennis Racquet is a thicker-beamed (26mm/29mm/24mm) and slightly extended (27.25 inches) frame geared towards beginner to intermediate players with an already competent game, who are looking for a stick that soaks up unwanted vibrations and shock. This stick provides access to ample spin and lots of power, while still maintaining control on groundstrokes and volleys. It comes loaded with technologies that will be discussed in-depth below.
The strung weight of the EZONE 108 Extended Green Performance Tennis Racquet is 9.6 ounces, and the lightweight frame gives it great maneuverability on groundstokes and at the net; and keeps your arm from tiring going into the 2nd and 3rd sets. It will also help with arm issues, and especially shoulder issues while serving.
The 308 point swingweight, 1 point head light balance, and super spin-friendly 16x18 string pattern are all geared towards spin, which has become very popular these days, and for good reason. The 16x18 string pattern is such because it makes for much larger squares in the string bed, allowing more of the ball to be gripped, which ‘bites’ into it when brushing up and imparting heavy, heavy topspin or slice.
The wider range of string tension than on most frames, 40 to 55 pounds, gives the player more variance on whether or not they need more power and spin, or more control. The rule of thumb is the stringbed works like a trampoline, and the lower tensions allow the strings to bend more, which slingshots the ball forward - just like a trampoline. The lower tensions allow the cross strings more movement, and the resulting snapback propels the strings upward on whippy shots, and this imparts even more spin, yet. Tighter stringbeds, conversely, have more control and tend to keep the ball inside the baseline, even on imperfect swings and volleys - do not swing on your volleys - just punch!
