Great review! Really hope and look forward to your review of the 7th Generation ezone 98 that just came out. Interested to know how it compares with the previous version. Much thanks!

I have used both the EZone 98 and VCore 98. I ended up choosing the EZone 98 because the feel is much more plush, easier on the wrist and arm. I am able to hit through the ball more effortlessly. I had a sore wrist for several days after playing with the VCore. Both racquets were strung with a monofilament around 50 pounds. The VCore felt more stiff compared to Ezone. Swinging the VCore, the racquet cuts through the air very fast and does take getting use to. Using the EZone, it's clear to see why it is one of the best racquets on the market today.

Why switching ?

Great review. i am over 50s, just started on tennis, want a racket that i can learn and grow with ...is the 2021 vcore 98L or 2022 ezone 98L more foregiving plush and lively that i can plough , swing thro easier ...

Great video! What about e zone 100? Loss much control and feelings vs ezone, and earn power and spin?

I use both v core 100 (2020) & the latest e zone 2021. The e zone is a lot powerful. The v core is good for top spin, but the e zone is flat out powerful and un compromising in stroke delivery. If you can swing well, the e core 100 can deliver the blow. I don't see much of a difference in 98 / 100 sq inch. Selection of the string is very important and will also determine how the stroke or the game will play out. The finish and quality of construction of these Japanese beauties are mesmerising. I love the attention to detail.

Hi, which one do you recommend for arm and elbow discomfort ? Thanks

Thanks for the great video! I’m an upper intermediate player getting arm pain from the Pure Aero 100. I’m looking at these for better comfort and control, but still want to get spin and power like the Aero. The VCore sounds ideal but would you only recommend for advanced players?

Great post! I have been wondering about these three rackets (Vcore Pro 97, Ezone 98, Vcore 98). I am using the Head Speed Pro (smooth and solid hitting racquet)from Pure Strike 3rd gen (easier for angles and spin) and looking for something in-between, which would you suggest Ezone 98 or Vcore 98? I demoed the new Vcore Pro 100 and it felt solid and awesome, however, it was lacking power on serve.

Hace dos semanas estuve dudando mucho entra una raqueta y otra. Tuve la oportunidad de probar los dos modelos durante dos semanas. Son dos raquetas increibles. Al principio iba a quedarme con la ezone porque me parece que te da casi todo lo que una raqueta te puede ofrecer. Tiene muy buenas sensaciones de golpeo, potencia suficiente y un gran control. Despues de probar durante una semana la ezone, me llegó la vcore. Al principio no me gustó tanto porque sentía un golpe demasiado seco. Al pasar los días te acostumbras a esa sensación y realmente cuando golpeas la bola sientes que la bola sale disparada con mucha potencia. Tuve que ajustar algo la tensión para conseguir el control que quería. Finalmente me quedé con la vcore, me da mucha potencia, control y tiene mejor maniobrabilidad que la ezone. Por ello me quedé con la vcore. Me gustaría decir que yo jugaba con un tamaño de puño L3 en mi volkl y con esta Yonex bajé a L2 porque el L3 lo sentí más grueso que en mi volkl

@CourtsideSportsLTD

Hey thanks! Sadly I can't get my hands on a demo of the Aero VS, although that racquet is very interesting to me. The Pure Aero has a very open string pattern and a thick beam. This means the launch angle is higher, the spin is better and there is more power. The VCore feels a lot more control oriented and plows through the ball a bit better. I;d pick the VCore simply because I prefer a more control oriented racquet, however if you can harness the spin and power from the Pure Aero, you can do a lot of damage

Thanks for sharing! How you compare these two rackets to the Head Extreme series?

@CourtsideSportsLTD

The Extreme Tour sits neatly between these two. It has the control and speed of the Ezone, with the spin and plow of the VCore. It's a great racquet and my current favourite. The Extreme series as a whole feels a lot more raw and generally less solid than the Yonex's. Spin on average is on par with the VCORE line.

Beckett, I’m a 4.0 senior… been playing with the PS 18x20 first gen since it was launched… Considering the 2022 Ezone 100.. ( i have no experience with Yonex, but everyone loves it so i might give it a try..) However, the Vcore series has come into the picture. My question: Which one would be better for ripping flat backhand/ forehand down-the-line shots? Thanks, John

ezone for power, vcore for control and precision

Hello again! It was just too tempting for me so I’ve went ahead and got an Ezone 98 2020, instead of the Pure strike. It feels so good and waaay better than my Babolat Pure Aero. There is one problem for me that I can’t really find out but it feels less powerful, like I can’t do the same swings with the Ezone as with the pure Aero, no matter how hard I try, so maybe this is something I can fix with Lead tape or something? I really wanna love the Ezone but hopefully this is something I can fix. Do you have any recommendations other than maybe lead tape? And if lead tape where on the racquet would you put it? (Or any other customisation) thanks!!

The current version has much better control and precision than the previous version. I found the previous one to have hotspots on the string bed, occasionally causing the ball to launch unpredictably. This was especially common higher up in the string bed where contact could also sometimes be jarring. I suspect this is the result of a hoop that was much stiffer than the rest of the racquet. The current version has a much more consistent flex which makes it feel a lot more reliable. This is coming from someone who used the VCore 95 for years, so control is definitely a priority for me.

Head changed the way the measured Head size a few years ago, so your old Radical MP was actually a 95, measured in the conventional manner (measured from inside the hoop). A lot of the differences between 98's and 100's also comes from the increased beam width on 100's. Thicker beams also contribute heavily to forgiveness and power. The Microgel Radical were very low powered, so even a modern 98 will feel a lot easier to use. My favourites are the EZone 98 and Extreme Tour

Your forehand reminds me a lot of Iga Swiatek's!

I used the ezone tour for a while and it was confidently the best racket I've ever used, the blend of power feel and control were just up there.

It’s possible to compare Ezone 100 and Vcore 100 ? Thanks

How do u compare strike 98 with ezone 98

@CourtsideSportsLTD

3 жыл бұрын

I think the Strike pockets the ball a bit better, especially the 16x19 version. In terms of string bed predictability it goes PS18x20 > VCORE 98 > PS16x19. Power and spin are similar on all fronts. I think which is better will come down to personal preference.

How do you find the vcore in comparison to the ezone tour?

@asnveggie

3 жыл бұрын

I tried comparing the scores with the scores from the ezone tour review and I don't think they're relative? For example the regular ezone has a power score of 7 here vs the ezone tour has a power score of 6. If you could give your thoughts on the relative scores and general thoughts between the tour and the vcore here it would be extremely helpful for me!

@@asnveggie yes. I considered some of the Ezone Tour scores when making the Ezone scores. I try consider what racquets would be cross shopped in stock form. When scoring the Ezone Tour, I'm think about how it compares to racquets of a similar weight, prostaff, Gravity, strike Tour. 6 is probably a bit low, but part of the reason for the low score was the poor maneuverability. I just couldn't accelerate the racquet enough to penertrate the court with any consistency. Likewise, I'm scoring the Ezone 98 against 98 sqin 305g racquets as well as important racquet for cross shoppers, like the Pure Drive, the Speed Pro The scores are subjective, and imperfect by nature. I do my best to quantify my feelings over the duration of my playtest (typically a week with 6 hours of play)

Hi David, I'll answer you other question here as well. The Pure Drive family feels a lot muted and disconnected than the Ezone 98 family. All racquets feel solid, but the Ezones offer more direct response. The Ezones also make you work harder than the Pure Drives. It's harder to generate pace and penetrate the court with the Ezones. I struggled with maneuverability on the Ezone Tour more than most racquets of the same weight including the Pure Drive Tour. Spin is better on Pure Drives, but slice is worse.

what string and tension works best for these rackets?

@CourtsideSportsLTD

2 жыл бұрын

String is 100% preference. At Wimbledon in 2021, tensions ranged from 16lbs to 88lbs. Most of our customers are stringing from 50-55lbs with a poly, like Hawk Touch, or they add Velocity MLT17 in the crosses for more comfort.

Two weeks ago I was doubting a lot between one racket and another. I had the opportunity to test both models for two weeks. They are two incredible rackets. At first I was going to stick with the ezone because it seems to me that it gives you almost everything that a racket can offer you. It has very good hitting sensations, enough power and great control. After trying the ezone for a week, I got the vcore. At first I didn't like it so much because it felt too dry. As the days go by you get used to that feeling and when you hit the ball you really feel that the ball goes off with a lot of power. I had to adjust the tension somewhat to get the control I wanted. I finally got the vcore, it gives me a lot of power, control and has better maneuverability than the ezone. So I kept the vcore. I would like to say that I played with a fist size L3 on my volkl and with this Yonex I went down to L2 because the L3 felt thicker than on my volkl

Totally disagree on power. I own both and the Ezone gives easier power to me anyway.

How can we compare Vcore 95 to Ezone 98 plse

@CourtsideSportsLTD

3 жыл бұрын

Weirdly I think the 95 has more power. I found myself over hitting with that racquet. This was due to the higher launcher angle and increased stiffness. The Ezone 98 has a more predictable string bed, better feel and more forgiveness, but less spin. Stability is similar. Comfort is similar. Ezone swings way faster. I prefer Ezone despite having used the SV95 and previous Gen VC95 as my personal racquets.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose. The key is finding a reviewer who likes the same things you do. I haven't been able to relate to any of the TW playtesters since Sean left. Look out for reviews who have similar games and preferences to you
