Yonex EZONE Xi 98 Tennis Racket

As used by Ana Ivanovic and Zheng Jie.

New frame from Yonex encapsulating explosive power of QuadPower System in a stable, comfortable and aerodynamic control frame. This racket does a phenomenal job at minimizing twisting of the racket head when it hits the ball. NeoFade and the new Xi headshape with Shock Dampening Grid in the grip make this a comfortable to hit with. Here is a racket, for advanced club players seeking a control-oriented frame that eliminates the rigours associated with control frames that also helps in power department through use of advanced technology.

The name Xi is derived from new Extra Isometric headshape that delivers an even further expanded sweetspot as well as reduced vibration. The Xi rackets also have a more aero-dynamic profile with a rounder and more stable throat. At the handle, newly formulated SD Grid sheet effectively absorbs harmful vibrations. This coupled with Neofade in the frame allows you to blast your strokes without any discomfort.

In the frame itself, Quad-Power System sees thickness at 4 corners of the frame increased to channel energy most efficiently and maximize power. The resulting weight distribution also prevents twisting of the racket and makes it more stable. X-Fullerene strengthens the top of the racket and adds power to every shot through repulsion energy.
