What players say

Liked 5 sources

The Espresso Brown colorway is a cosmetic-only release on the 8th-generation Yonex EZONE 98 Tour, so reviews of that frame apply directly. Playtesters describe a heavy, stable, plow-through-heavy racquet with a plush, solid feel that rewards full swings and compact strokes, aimed at strong advanced players rather than all-court finesse hitters.

Best for

  • Aggressive baseliners with full swings
  • Players who want stability over heavy hitters
  • Advanced/tournament players
  • Big, flat or heavy-topspin serves

Pros

  • Very stable, plow-through feel against pace
  • Comfortable, plush response thanks to Minolon material
  • Easy access to depth and power on serves and returns
  • Good spin once strung with poly and swung with a full motion

Cons

  • Heavy swingweight (330+) makes it demanding to maneuver, especially at net or when rushed
  • Control score rated lower than power/comfort in TW playtest
  • Spin generation suffers if takeback/swing isn't full and compact
  • Not for players wanting a light, fast-swinging or finesse-oriented frame
