Yonex Ezone is one of the most successful racket series on the market, used by 12% of the top 200 players on the ATP and WTA tours (October 2024). The series is known for combining power, control and comfort in a way that makes it equally attractive to competitive players and ambitious recreational players.
Working closely with professional players, Yonex has refined every detail of the eighth generation. Among the names choosing Ezone on tour are Nick Kyrgios, Casper Ruud, Ben Shelton, Jessica Pegula, Naomi Osaka and Tokito Oda – a clear confirmation of the model’s capabilities.
New technologies in Ezone V8
Energizing Isometric™
An update to Yonex's renowned Isometric frame profile, designed to create a larger and more forgiving hitting surface. By expanding the frame at the top and adjusting the width of the profile, the sweet spot has been increased by up to 7%. The result is better accuracy and power even on hits off the center of the string bed.
Minolone
A new, advanced material developed by Kowa Company, integrated between the graphite layers in the shaft. Minolon reduces vibrations by 5.8% compared to previous Ezone models and provides a softer, more stable feel at impact. The material complements and enhances the existing VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) technology, which is also found in this generation.
Proven technologies that deliver
- VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) – reduces unwanted vibrations and improves feel during strokes.
- 2G-Namd Speed – flexible graphite construction that increases the racket's rebound and provides higher stroke speed.
- Liner Tech – straight grommet holes extend string life and optimize power on misses.
- OPS (Oval Pressed Shaft) – shaft profile that increases ball contact time and provides more spin and control.
- Shockless Grommets – absorb shock and reduce strain on the arm and wrist.
