Introducing the Wilson Ultra 100 v4!Like previous generations, this modern player's racquet specializes in speed, spin and power. From: John, 9/24/20, Comments: This EZONE 98 Tour is a welcomed surprise from Yonex. So as a rule one should use the heaviest racquet they can swing for the game style they have. Solinco Hyper-G strings, Wilson Pro Overgrip and dampener puts me at about 344 grams. Happy I tried it again, and purchased 2 more recently.From: Kurt, 1/24/22, Comments: Bought this as it seemed to be a middle-ground between the Babolat Pure Aero that I had sold and the Wilson Blade v7 that I used to use. It's called the VCORE 95 and it has been reengineered with a new beam construction and material technology. There is absolutely no plow through whatsoever on this frame. It's also a cool looking racquet just sitting on the floor in my house. I demoed it strung with multifilament and was very forgiving, but not unduly muted. This may have been a one-off, but manufacturing standards could improve. I was so used to getting a slight tennis elbow in high school when I would hit hard serves; with the Boom Pro, it was almost effortless. Have tried many modern HL racquets and this checks the most boxes for me. Some Restrictions Apply. The Radical Pro is the racquet that I have a lot of experience with. Why its the best: This maneuverable point-and-shoot weapon makes learning the game easy. It took little adjusting to hitting groundstrokes. Volleys were solid, but lacked that static thump. , which combines an elongated box beam shaft with a more powerful construction in the head. Serving was a pleasure, but getting properly setup for the following volley proved challenging. In addition, the power is really good and effortless when I put 70-80% in groundstrokes rally, but when I try to hit a winner with 90-100%, the power doesn't come through as PS97L and the old version can provide. Now I did say more stable, but in the grand scheme of things this is still a lightish modern playing racquet. Love the flex technology for my tennis elbow. A solid polyester-based string that's great as a full set or as part of a hybrid. I am a 4.5 player. Mainly, the stability and feel are vastly improved without sacrificing its surgical precision and quickness through the air. It doesn't even flinch, really left an impression there lol. I was demoing racquets this spring, and thought I'd try this racquet just for fun, thinking it was going to be a stiff power racquet based on the name. Fortunately I can play with a 12.4 ounce racquet, but that's not at all the racquet I thought I was buying and I wanted to get it to a 330 swingweight. The Tour plays really well at 44 to 48 pounds. There is so much more response from the strings and the racquet feels lively and easy to hit. There's the same great combination of control, feel and durability but with more ball bite. Command or control-click for separated strings. Named the VCORE PRO 97H and endorsed by Stan Wawrinka, this model replaces the VCORE PPRO 97 (330). From: Rondall, Gambrills, Md, 1/27/22. Not specialists for any particular style of game, but good at all of them. This stick is amazing! From: Justin, 6/12/21, Comments: Just a solid stick! The Radical Pro was my favorite again.

As such it is Ideal for big swinging intermediate players, especially if they crave raw speed and easy targeting. There is such great power on this racquet, its almost like the moment you know you're about to hit a good groundstroke from generating your own pace and momentum, your forehand/backhand will be unreturnable and its so satisfactory with this V4. From: Eduardo, Boca Raton, 11/16/21 Comments: Playing like my 20's again. I had it strung with natural gut and polyester at low tension. With its compact head, sub-325 swingweight and moderate stiffness level, this stick combines the traditional virtues of control and feel with impressive levels of speed and spin. Awesome racquet. I have never played with a racquet that better encourages big hitting and an extreme topspin grip and stroke. With right, quite high, intensity it's all there; great pace and spin, with nice feel and precision. You can play a flat game or a spin game with this 16 x 20 pattern, just compare and contrast Shapovalov / Wawrinka with Marcos Giron. However it provides similar precision and in some instances can shine. In summary, Yonex has got a great new stick on its hands! I don't have to adjust for its game. It handles everything so well and I feel I can just hit and know its going to produce an amazing ball. I would recommend this 98 tour to any 5.0 player out there! This is obviously the consumer version, I get it, but I was expecting more out of this latest iteration and got the complete opposite. Command or control-click for separated strings. Bottom line can't go wrong with any Yonex Ezone or Vcore. Definitely not a racquet for guys who use lots of wrist or have a small take backFrom: Saeid, 1/20/21, Comments: As a 3.5 to 4.0 level player, I was looking for a more stable racquet that is spin-friendly with a good balance of control and power. I can also hit good serves, and volleying is easy. Vcore is just right for my game. Not as much of an issue on a 2HBH, but still. I felt like I could get enough pace and speed. In fact, this frame plays its best when you come through the ball with sufficient head speed. The connected feel during strokes is better than Ezone and grabs the ball better for spin. It will make you work for it, while being far from a prohibitively hard racquet. They both came with same swingweight and only a single gram of static weight difference. The Tour gives just a bit more solid feel than the regular version. *Price comparisons are based on the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") or Original Selling Price. Really stable at contact, maneuverable at net, great tip speed for serves. From: Anonymous, 9/13/21, Comments: I'm just coming back to tennis after not playing much for the past 20 years or so.

Two-handers love, one-handers avoid This is "ultra" (extreme) of a particular design philosophy, which is head-heavy (13" balance point), light, and very stiff. It feels harsh and stiff. Easy power and good control with this racquet. Easy on the arm, but has the power I was missing in my previous racquet, the Head Gravity Pro. Yes, that's a thing, although it's a compromise. I played sporadically through life but just started to actually focus and practice a lot about 4 months ago. Named the VCORE PRO 97H and endorsed by Stan Wawrinka, this model replaces the VCORE PPRO 97 (330). My guess is that the Prestige Pro is likely the better frame for people like myself who like a solid feeling frame that can redirect pace and move the ball more easily.From: Chad, 4/2/21, Comments: Sublime stick, best I have ever tried.From: Peter, 3/21/21, Comments: Excellent option to renew your old Radical Pro. Call +800 0000 1952; Email contact@givenchy.com The difference is that due to design, you need to aim to hit the ball further away, that is a good practice and it will reward you in your groundstroke development. Comments: Needs to marinate awhile. From:Randy, Long Beach, CA , 10/23/21, Comments: Switched to the Radical Pro from my Prince O3 100 sq in head size. Intermediate players looking for a powerful and spin-friendly weapon should give this racquet a serious look. Then, I switched to the Wilson Blade 98 v7, but found it too head heavy. I didn't find the stiffness to be a problem either. Comfort-wise it's second to none. Also decent amount of spin securing deep court shots to land safely inside the baseline. Yonex adds another chapter to the EZONE 98!As with previous generations, this control-oriented stick combines spin-friendly targeting with raw speed. Like the 2015 DR version (a staff favorite), this 2022 update packs above average feel, comfort and stability for a light player's racquet. I had to add 14 grams of weight, almost a whole ounce to bring the racquet up to a 320 swingweight and keep the 7 to 8 point balance. I didn't need every shot to be precise, or constantly think about my racquet placement for slicing, overheads, or volleys. He (young, 5.0+ tournament player) is switching to this racquet. I would strongly recommend it to players which typically prefer control over power because this stick will provide a little bit of power. If you grew up playing with Radicals or want something different from Wilson Blades or Babolat Pure Strikes, give this a go. If you are a two-handed backhand player looking for precision (which usually describes the pros who use it, although they customize), this could be for you. Why its the best: This maneuverable point-and-shoot weapon makes learning the game easy. Feels tinny(almost like the frame is cracked), no power, just lacks the strike force capacity I felt with the demo. Introducing the Wilson Ultra 100 v4! The Head Radical Pro has a good weight, but because of it's good balance and head light weight, it's fast to swing. The new 2022 version lines up with what TW play testers have already said- even better response/feel for an already great racquet. As such it is Ideal for big swinging intermediate players, especially if they crave raw speed and easy targeting. I used to play with the Yonex EZONE 98, but it gave me arm pain. The EZONE Tour certainly gives you the power, but I also found it surprisingly stiff given the 62 RA, which I appreciate it only one factor when it comes to how a racquet will feel. The drawbacks I found are the racquet doesn't feel stable enough at the net, and the feel of PS97L is way better. All that good stuff only happens if you can handle the weight and are technically adept. I imagine it only loses to the very heavy sticks in stability. As a result, the racquet became more enjoyable to hit volleys and drop shots. SUBLIME The 22 Ezone 98 Tour continues the design mods that were implemented with the VCP updates with subtle differences.

It does have a slightly hollow feel as someone else wrote, but solid enough, and I did not use a vibe dampener as I always use. It lacks the plow through that I'm used to with the Blade and RF97, but does so much well that I'm gonna commit. With the tape in the handle, I've balanced it back to the original 98's balance point and now have married the two racquets together. Improvements are that this racquet needs a little weight in the handle and the frame to make it feel stable enough and give it enough plow through. Volleys and slice are wicked! Overall an awesome frame from Head- Boom Boom! I had the previous version, V3, and it was everything everyone was saying; very stiff and just more cons than pros about it. It is well balanced. Its also extremely maneuverable, which will help you position and swing the racquet effectively. As a result it is perfect for the rising intermediate player, especially if they want a user-friendly tool for loading the ball with pace and spin. No demos where I live, so picking a racquet took a lot of guesswork, thinking about specs and reading reviews. Murray uses one that looks like the old model. I have to amend my review from earlier. I can't see the point of it, and I'd prefer if this weight was more graphite, spiral fiber, foam or silicon, something that actually contributes to the feel and playability. So I thought, heavier frame, easier spin, great control so smaller head size, no Babolat because I like my arm, nothing that sounds impossible like a Prestige, and something really versatile that would still fit my evolving game however it ends up. Kirschbaum Lion Loxley Luxilon Mantis Mission Mizuno Nodor Nox Babolat Team Line Expandable 12R Bag.

Ezone If you are considering this racquet, you likely also are doing what I did: demoing the Babolat Pure Aero (standard and VS), the Head Extreme (Tour, MP, and Pro), and other Yonex racquets (Ezone and VCore Pro, and the VCore 100 red). It doesn't disappoint me. For 2022 Wilson adds its uniquely flexible FORTYFIVE weave to the carbon fiber layup. It bridges the gap between a tweener and a more conventional thin beamed players frame. After a week, it's completely unnoticeable.From: Doug, 3/12/21, Comments: Love the racquet.

Overall, I hit some groundstrokes that my opponents were not able to return when I had the momentum and pace, but this racquet benefits more from top spin than flat shots. The extra weight gives me easy plow through on serves, ground strokes and volleys. I had to add a solid 12 grams to balance it out just to be able to hit with this thing. I hit with heavy topspin, and this stick has no issues producing spin. From the very first hit, I knew this was going to be my racquet of choice. I think it could be a fantastic racquet if they would have made it more solid in the middle. Darn this was a great choice. Actual sales may not have occurred at this price.

If you hit outside the sweet spot the power drops considerably, but the weight can help you to muscle the ball where you want it to go. It's more for the advanced player who has a full swing.From: Nat, UK 8/7/21, Comments: I have been trying to transition from a VCORE Pro 330 gram to a 310 to 315 gram racquet, with a bit more power and similar control with a lighter weight for the past year.

I'm in love and would highly recommend this racquet to any player not afraid to customize on their own. The EZONE hit the spot, so to speak.The VCORE Pro was too heavy, and I am too old. Hits a flatter ball, but I feel like I'm using a more manageable version of Federer's racquet with a more predictable string pattern. I'm 6'3, 220 pounds. For a 98, it plays and feels like 100 in terms of controllable power. At 11.2 ounces strung and boasting a sub-320 swingweight, the Ultra 100 v4 is not only ideal for intermediate players but it should also tempt the advanced ball striker who craves explosive acceleration. The Rough provides added texture for enhanced spin control. I play with the 2021 Pure Drive with same string set up. I am an older player and need to transition away from my Yonex Duel G 330s - great stick, but a 340ish SW is hard for a middle aged player who's not getting any faster. I suspect that this has to do with the swingweight and 4HL which make it difficult to me to get the racquet speed that I need. I like both racquets but the Head Radical is more versatile and the transition between hard court and clay is more seamless. Ultimately, with some nice tweaks to the feel and response, this an impressive update to the Ultra franchise. Perfect balance between power and control. Given my proclivity for higher swingweighted frames, on paper this 95 would be seemingly too light for my taste. Well done again Yonex. Light and maneuverable. This is a very accurate racquet for groundstrokes comparable to RF97 in a lighter racquet. More control-oriented than power and more than enough heft to trade punches with heavy hitters. As a result it is perfect for the rising intermediate player, especially if they want a user-friendly tool for loading the ball with pace and spin. Beware if you have had any arm issues in the past. My Sweet New Go to Racquet I started playing tennis back in the 90s with the Original Graphite, then switched to Donnay then onto the Head Prestige line in 2005 and have since continued using Prestige until I got this Phantom Pro 100 earlier this month.

With its compact head, sub-325 swingweight and moderate stiffness level, this stick combines the traditional virtues of control and feel with impressive levels of speed and spin. However, the racquet had a slightly muted feel instead of the crispy feel of the DR 98, and that's a shame, because that was one of the aspects that I liked about that racquet. So I've been on a 7-year hiatus from tennis. Stable due to its weight, but reasonably easy to get around. Orders over $50 will ship for free! Perhaps Yonex could grace us with a tour version of this. It really lets you hit away with all your might plus it has decent pop for such a small control frame. I'm actually a beginner-intermediate player I think, I'd say like a 3.0 - 3.5 at most in the American system. I found that frame to be a little lacking in terms of feel and plow through. The aesthetics are good though! A great stick, not enough to get me off my Prince Tours, but definitely worth looking into for an all court player. Compared to the 20 version, the racquet feels more connected on impact. Like the 2015 DR version (a staff favorite), this 2022 update packs above average feel, comfort and stability for a light player's racquet. Age has crept up on me and the Prestige is no longer arm friendly. From: Chris Quidlt, Chicago, IL, 2/21/22, Comments: The first time I hit with EZONE Tour I didn't like it. The Blade is a great racquet once you customize it, but off the shelf it's a bit unstable against hard hitters. I did my studies and tried to imagine if this racquet will fit me. Was looking to reduce power while increasing control, which the 98 size definitely does. There's some aspects that could improve though. I currently use the Yonex VCORE 98 Red and I am likely making a switch to the EZONE 98 Tour. Excellent racquet and racquet specialist help. Enough weight for great plow through on ground strokes and serves. I have been slowly integrating this racquet into my rotation of sticks and 8 months later I have finally committed to this being my number one racquet. The Ultra 100L v4 takes the spin and power of the standard Ultra 100 and puts it into a lighter, faster package. I switch from a Wilson Blade 98 to this EZONE Tour 98 frame and the power and control is the best feature on this one. I get great spin off it, and I'm impressed with the balance of control and power.From: Beth, Santa Barbara, CA, 11/14/21, Comments: Best racquet I have ever played with. Compared to the Speed Pro, Speed MP 2022 is not only lighter and faster, it also packs a more modern and spin-friendly string pattern. It fits perfectly and the extra weight you can't really feel at all.From: Carlos, 3/20/21, Comments: What a fantastic update. The reduction in stiffness made all the difference, giving it a more forgiving feel, increased dwell time, and a launch angle more in line with their VCORE Pro series. The Head Radical provided it and also felt more lively feel off the strings. I thought it was perfect for me. So much better. The Head came in 2nd place. This is a very average racquet. As a result it is perfect for the rising intermediate player, especially if they want a user-friendly tool for loading the ball with pace and spin.

Bottom line can't go wrong with any Yonex Ezone or Vcore. I chose this 98 red. I can definitely feel the weight in the hoop more than the previous versions, and dropping the stiffness really improves the feel. It's kind of pointy, so your thumb and fingers don't rest on a nice flat area. The Ultra does feel like it flexes a bit more than the Pure Drive. Order with confidence. Normally, I am not a fan of a 100 sq. The EZONE ticked all my boxes, out of those three racquets.The only thing I didn't like about the EZONE was the throat shape. Though it says it's balance is the same as the Blade, I had to add about 6 grams to the handle to truly match the feel. Nice cosmetics as well. Big sweet spot, excellent feel, and good control. Stable, yet easy to maneuver and with great feel. Til then, I'd be more than happy to bring this out again anytime!From: Perry, 1/21/21. I then changed it to the Head Graphene 360+ Extreme Tour; however, it was a bit too light for me. It has the power when connecting well with it and yet doesn't feel like you have to hold back. However, the 18x20 pattern made it quite impossible to use topspin with my level, and the weight (295 grams) didn't suit me so I fell on a lead journey that never quite got me where I wanted. There is a lot of plow through and it can return hard shots while being stable. Why its the best: This maneuverable point-and-shoot weapon makes learning the game easy. Spin/power nirvana (if you like 'em stiff). I like everything about it. Very versatile, feels good on groundstrokes, volleys, and serves. Really recommend to give this frame a chance. Even great for volleys and touch. Head adds another chapter to Instinct MP!This 2022 cosmetic update features the same specs and technologies as the 2020 Graphene 360+ Instinct MP.
