At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. No, the author's tennis equipment "arsenal" has also ushered in an update at the arrival of the Year of the Tiger. Before the Spring Festival, I received the newly upgraded YONEX seventh generation EZONE series of tennis rackets, from the racket's slogan "easy to win the easy one", it is not difficult to see the selling point of the new seventh generation of EZONE, that is, to make it easier for users to hit the ball with better results, which is a very real and attractive selling point.

In the Australian Open tournament that just ended last month, Australian star Kyrgios was holding the YONEX seventh-generation EZONE series of rackets, together with his good buddy, another YONEX player, Kokinakis, to win the Grand Slam men's doubles title. In addition, four-time Grand Slam women's singles champion Naomi Osaka, Canadian SLR handsome brother Shapovalov, and Olympic gold medalist Bencic also chose to use YONEX's seventh-generation EZONE series of rackets to compete in the 2022 Australian Open, which aroused fan attention and heated discussion.
In fact, at the end of last year, the "Tennis Star Force" selection event held by the All Tennis APP and YONEX, I took the lead in seeing the true appearance of the YONEX seventh generation EZONE series rackets, and at that time I was deeply attracted by its beautiful appearance at first glance, but due to limited time, I only conducted a simple test. After receiving the racket this time, I played five games of tennis during the Chinese New Year, which was a solid tennis Spring Festival, and I also experienced the characteristics of this YONEX seventh-generation EZONE 100 tennis racket in place.
As a "face control", first of all, it starts from the "face value" of the racket. Whether a racket is satisfactory or not, the eye rim is very important. YONEX 7th generation EZONE uses dark blue as the background color, with mint and sky blue as the highlights, the overall calm atmosphere, low-key luxury.
Made in Japan has always had a high level of craftsmanship, and the 7th generation EZONE 100 tennis racket I got maintains the quality of YONEX, the coating is very fine, and the touch feel is very delicate, which is very delicate and addictive.
As the name suggests, EZONE 100 refers to the size of the racket surface is 100 square inches, the empty racket weight of the racket is 300 grams, this size and weight are more balanced, suitable for a wide range of objects, but also in line with my consistent shooting habits. In addition, this series has 98 different beat sizes and weights to choose from.
The new EZONE's head is still using YONEX's most classic ISOMETRIC square head technology, and the sweet zone is enlarged, which can have more fault tolerance for amateur players. More critically, the new EZONE has added a new fluid cross-section technology to the upper part of the racket frame, the main touch area of the racket, which makes the cross-sectional shape variable improved, and achieves a softer batting feel and ball performance.
On the basis of the sixth generation of EZONE, the seventh generation of EZONE improves the rigidity of the bottom of the racket neck, the racket neck structure reduces shaking, is more stable, and the non-sweet part of the ball can also be smoothly shot.
In addition, the racket also uses a new material - the second generation of speed-bomb new dimensional carbon, which not only maintains a soft batting feeling at high speed, but also can be quickly restored after a large deformation of the racket. Equipped with a new cable guard, it increases the movable range of the shoot line.
VDM fabric technology at the grip improves comfort while reducing unwanted vibration and protecting the wrist.
As a bottom-line balance player, in the course of these few days of trial play, I can really feel the revolutionary changes brought by new technology to the YONEX seventh generation EZONE 100. Compared with the sixth generation, the seventh generation reduces the swing weight, helps to improve the speed of the head, easier to increase the speed of the shot, and exert more rotation on the ball, this design is particularly practical for amateur bottom-line players, easily playing the bottom line deep ball at the same time, the insurance coefficient has also been increased. The EZONE 100 features an open wire bed of 16 by 19, which in short makes it easier to pull up and spin.
In addition, the new EZONE 100 thick frame design improves the stability and fault tolerance of the batting, if you like to go online players, you can try to shoot the thinner frame of EZONE 98, the performance in front of the net will be more flexible.
In general, YONEX's seventh-generation EZONE series of rackets, on the basis of continuing the consistent style, relying on new technology to optimize the performance of the racket as a whole, even if it is replaced by a new series from the old model, it does not need too long a run-in period, which is a court weapon that is both beautiful and easy to win.
