@@theeggrollrapper editing this until 5am in the morning to get it out fast, my headphones didnt show the sound mixing as well as the speakers. I apologize :( Will adjust moving forward. Appreciate the feedback.
67 sounds like a high stiffness rating. Will be interesting to see how people get on with comfort. Not sure the Ezone 100 needed more power?! I often use my Ezone 98 so will wait for a review of the new 98, I hope its not stiffer!!
I have demo-ed and enjoyed the previous generation 100 and 105 and almost purchased one, but was worried about the stiffness hurting my elbow/arm. I would love to hear how the new tech and play tests feel to players with a history of arm issues like me. Those who prioritize comfort over power, control or feel etc... I wonder if Yonex might use the new tech in some of their other models? Any speculation on that?
It is likely that minolon will be in all their upcoming models in 2026. Having said that all power rackets have firm flexes so if you like this category it comes with the territory
Do you have demo's at your store to try there on your court? Not sure how your setup is there. Would one then have to rent a court separately for an hour? Or how would it work? Thanks
Looks better in person. The more you see it the less it catches you. But the traditional ezone blue was better in my opinion. The new pure drive is a much lighter blue as well. Must be the new season or factory color.
I liked the paint job, nice and bright. Iconic.
It’s def a change!
It´s great that your aswering to so many comments. Wow...nice!
Putting in the time. We respect your questions and are here to respond 😁
Thanks for the review 🙏 looks nice 👍🎾
Our pleasure. Thank you!
Thank you for reviewing ❤
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. The music is distracting, perhaps leave it out for future videos.
Appreciate the tip. We are making that change.
don t play music on video PLEASE!!!!!!🙏
Thank you for the feedback. Absolutely will consider
Agreed. Great review but the music volume was distracting.

@@SolowSportsno apologies necessary. I look forward to all your reviews. Very insightful and thorough!
@@theeggrollrapper thank you very much. we love making the reviews and appreciate the kind words!
It might be my next racket🍒👍

Ezone 98 is currently being edited (along with new pure drives 💪)

We do have a large demo selection. Which store location are you referencing?
The background music is too loud
Anyway I don't know if the color is good or bad.
Sorry about that. Adjusting the sound moving forward
How is this 8th gen compare to 7th gen?
We do have reviews for both which we recommend you check out. Very similar
Great review, love the colour, will Yonex a SL and L version?
Yes. 98L. 100L. 100SL. New 115 and many other models
When I see those colors it reminds me of EVA-01
What is that?
@ A robot unit from Evangelion
@@RetourBoise oooooooooh :)
SW says 308 on the machine..?
Correct. Strung on the 1 sample we received
@@SolowSports ah i see i think in the video you mentioned 320 or something
@@jasonlee3911 all our reviews have the full racket specs in the description for quick reference :)
How does this compare in comfort, shock and arm friendliness with Blade 100?
The Blade v9 is softer and more connected
@@SolowSports thank you for your insight. You probably saved me from unnecessary pain and discomfort!
@@t2dev :)
Sick
😁 great hitting
So do you recommend upgrading from the Gen.7? 98 or 100?
I’m always a believer in upgrading. Especially if you play a lot. A fresh racket plays great and the price spread over many play sessions is minimal
Did you say you strung your crosses more than your main ?
I did. I like to split the tensions by two or 3 pounds to create more of a consistent feel through the racket. Poly is lower tension
do you use pre-stretch on the string?
No machine prestretch on this one.
67 RA???? WOOD!!!!!
Haha. Wood is like 30 🪵
Music too loud to hear you clearly.
I apologize for the sound grading. We are adjusting on next video.
cheap shampoo design :D Yonex excels in making it hard to buy their products. The World leader :D
Haha vidal ezone Sassoon
So in summary, pretty much the same as the 7th gen except for the awful colour?
Hahah. It’s never a significant change year to year.
just when Yonex had finally nailed one paint job they come out with this smurf of a color. smh.
Hahahhahah Smurf color!
Which paintjob do you mean they nailed?
@kibalix8823 the latest black one that came out last year
The colour is horrible. It's way too bright. It might just put your opponents off, it's so hideous 😂😂😂
It will grow on you. But still shocking 😳
I love it!
@@michaelwalsh8053 you see :) its growing!!
damn what a ugly cosmetic ! so disapointed for an ezone
It will grow on you I feel
Ugly green details
I like the percept color pop. The blue blast I’m uncertain tho 🤨
color is hideous ... too bad

Specs should include stiffnsss, which is one of the most important thing in the Ezone rqcquet.
67. At 9:05’ in the video.
@@luismartenetz2909 I know right at least watch the whole vid before you comment..
It’s in the description and spec sheet with score 😁
@@HardCandy-d9q I missed that screen tho. My apologies. :)
I based on the review from 1:27.
@@MiracleAgeGKS no need to apologise it happens bro and it’s no biggie..Have a nice day 😀
Your music is super loud creating a lot of distractions and it becomes annoying I had to stop watching.
I’m sorry. It is lowered to minimal volume. Hard to know the volume on your computer compared to ours ☹️
@@SolowSports No sorry please - it is understood, sometimes, it is hard to test in every scenarios. May be, without music is the best one to try. 🙂
@@gppgle that is the adjustment we are making on our next video. Thank you for the feedback :)
ugly colour
Yes. Big color change this update.
Swing weight is only 308 Strung ? is that correct number from the machine ?🥱
It is. But sometimes the early samples we get can be slightly off spec
