EZONE 8th Gen.

i play with the pure drive 2023. i find the Exone as less consistent and more difficult to control the ball. The racket feels off in my hands. I would definetly go back to the pure drive and look at the 2025 version

I made a choice between the Wilson Blade V9 and the Yonex. I know the Blade has control. But i wanted a high sitting sweet spot as i tend to hit a significant amount of balls in the upper area. I am also a reflex hitter at the net , considered a wall, this is really where i wanted additional help. More power to make the volley easier to control in the hand grip (relax) and a bit more margin of error which is part of reflex hitting volley . So far right from the start, it is looking to be the right choice , would not even consider to move away other than to add the 100 version for singles and the 100L which i have for doubles. For me it is a complete change from hitting for years an RF97 12 ounce / 12 Pts head light.

Amazing racquet! The feel, maneuverability, the whippyness, best racquet I’ve hit with EVER!
