Where to buy
What players say
Tennis Warehouse's playtest team liked the Ripcord 100 300g as an easy-power, easy-spin 100-square-inch frame that plays more connected and controlled than its stiffness numbers suggest. A verified buyer who switched from a Yonex EZone 100 found it gave better control and feel at a lower price, with the main gripe being a paint job that chips easily.
Best for
- Intermediate to advancing baseliners
- Players wanting easy power without a dense string pattern
- Players switching down from stiffer 100 sq in tweeners
- Doubles/reaction volleys where a speedy feel helps
Pros
- Easy access to power and topspin with a full swing
- Feels connected and controllable for a 100 sq in head
- Maneuverable enough for quick reaction volleys and serve returns
- Good value relative to other 100 sq in tweeners
Cons
- Some testers found the response occasionally erratic with less pocketing feel than denser-pattern frames
- Paint finish reported to chip/flake more easily than other racquets

This racquet has power for aggressive returns when I want to take a full cut at the ball.
— Brittany, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
Great feel and surprising amounts of control for a 100-head racquet.
— Oak, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
Shaping balls with topspin, I felt very connected to my shots.
— Tiffani, Tennis Warehouse playtest team, Web
Crisp but not uncomfortable response, easy to pick up and use.
— Verified buyer, Texas (Tennis Warehouse customer review), Web
Came to this racquet from an EZone 100 that I found a bit difficult to control. For me, the Ripcord provided better control and feel.
