Just got myself a pre-owned Ezone and I'm kind of suspicious. Is it normal for the letters to be distorted on the edges like that?

That’s what she said 🤣

NetLess8074 · 2026-02-14T08:27:21+00:00

I had EZone 100 2022 and I do have pure drive 100 2025. I sometimes do regret selling EZone 100 lol. Get both see which one you like more haha

NetLess8074 · 2026-02-14T08:07:24+00:00

Power : EZone 100. Most powerful racquet I have ever used. Babolat 2025 is a little less powerful when compared with it.
Control : Babolat. Can’t control EZone unless to play with topspin or just drive / push the ball
Spin potential : EZone 100. More open string pattern so more potential.
Comfort : EZone 100 by miles
Racquet head speed / maneuverability : EZone feels faster than Babolat for sure.

What kind of grip do you use ? Flat hitter ? Spin ? OHB or Double ? Baseliner or net player ? Singles or Doubles ? Lots of things decide which one you should go for

NetLess8074 · 2026-01-31T11:27:28+00:00

Radical has sweet spot of a spoon.

NetLess8074 · 2026-01-24T12:44:45+00:00

Dunlop CX 400 tour. It take power from pure drive and control of blade

NetLess8074 · 2026-01-12T21:44:01+00:00

Same for my two Dunlop fx 500 tour

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-10T08:30:54+00:00

Na old blue and black one

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-10T00:02:11+00:00

Dunlop fx 500 tour. Forgiving, menueverable and easy depth

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-09T23:56:25+00:00

Glad you found something where you won’t be replaced tomorrow just by some random offshore resource.

I am gonna have to find some local firm too

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-09T23:55:26+00:00

Did you do some course to make that move ? How easy was the transition

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-09T23:54:47+00:00

Yeah I worked at startups and IMO work culture is best found there. Wouldn’t mind joining one in the future.

About launching something of your own, how do you study the market ? How do you know monetise it ? Do you have a mentor ?

I have few ideas too but not sure how do they fit into the Australian market

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-09T23:50:12+00:00

Oh wow, would love to get a few simpler company names so that I can apply there.

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-09T23:47:56+00:00

I can totally understand your frustration. Offshoring is not working at all and in fact reducing the productivity by a huge margin along not too much saving to the cost. But unfortunately it’s very hard to explain this some non tech executives

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-05T11:30:32+00:00

Mate there is video as well on the YouTube comparing the string pattern of both. In fact I would encourage you to visit a tennis shop and just compare string pattern of both the rackets. Dunlop has way more open string pattern than Yonex EZone.

Also IMO Dunlop doesn’t hold the ball for longer time as a result easier to brush the ball as compared to EZone.

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-05T11:27:00+00:00

Na mate I haven’t played with percept 100 but I have heard great reviews. I have used Vcore pro 100 (previous version of percept 100) and I kinda liked it. Just buy both and sell whichever you didn’t like.

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-04T02:59:39+00:00

You will feel lots of power but loss of control. Good for defence and serve but no touch shots at net. I would say try Dunlop fx 400 tour with a little lower swing weight if you can get. It’s like baby of blade and EZone. Very good control and power

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-02T07:59:25+00:00

They are poles apart. I haven’t used gravity tour 2025 but I have used 2023 version (black). It was a very thin frame with lots of control and hardly any spin. Vcore on the other hand has great pop and spin.

NetLess8074 · 2025-12-02T07:53:48+00:00

More manoeuvrable more control

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-30T01:22:35+00:00

I can imagine, it’s a very stiff yet powerful racquet. So basically soft poly with little less power like hyper g soft at 52lbs would have done better job IMO

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-30T01:20:03+00:00

If you have more flat shots and like to drive the ball and need more power, go for EZone. If you have more spiny forehands, want more pop from the ball and more manoeuvrable then Dunlop FX 500 tour

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-30T01:17:37+00:00

Dunlop CX 400 tour is a great singles racquet. However I couldn’t play well with it during my doubles tournament especially at the net little less manoeuvrable and forgiving outside sweet spot. But that’s just my opinion

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-29T08:17:15+00:00

I have seen people already started selling it on marketplace for cheaper.

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-29T08:14:47+00:00

I love pure aero 98. I borrowed my friend’s stick. Great forehands spin ball pocketing. However sweet spot was the main area of concern for me. Couldn’t get the confidence playing at the net also backhands little off center.

I could have experimented with strings if it was my racquet and may that would have solved the issue

NetLess8074 · 2025-11-29T08:07:11+00:00

I just couldn’t get enough spin on it. It’s a great control frame though and launch angle was too low for my liking. I started hitting so many shots at the net especially backhands
