The ezone gives you a false sensation that you are playing better because it makes the ball fast but not heavy and it’s easy to hit the sweet spot, that’s the main issue for me

Excellent summary in the end by Ben, trying to align each to a particular player style. Very helpful

I recently got an Ezone 98L and customized it at around 302g. Coming from the Pure Aero 98 (305g), I found the Ezone surprisingly good in terms of comfort, control, and, interestingly, spin. The Ezone is really good.

Ezone has denser string pattern and has way more directional control. Vcore has more launch angle and therefore more easy depth.<br>I don't understand your feelings about this.<br>Ezone 98 is more of a control racquet with stability and power for me. Suitable for flatter hitters. And Vcore is a power/spin racquet with good control when you have spinny shots.

I tried the new Ezone twice! Actually may have started my elbow issue. Will give the Vcore a go thanks.

what tension for the Polytour pro 125 on the Ezone 98 would be best for an excellent balance of comfort, spin, precision, and power for like a teenager.

I've just switched to the Vcore 98 from the Ezone 98. The Ezone is great, but it's so powerful I had to consciously hold back on my groundstrokes and approach shots. I can fully commit to these with the Vcore and be confident of not missing. Also the Vcore spin is incredible, feeling a lot more connection with the ball and like I have much more control overall. It's definitely less forgiving though, so will need to improve my ball striking! Thanks for the great content.

I haven't test the vcore, but I've tested the last two version of ezone(s). And honestly with how stable and whippy those rackets are, IMHO they're quite good for a OHBH.<br>Now my question to those who've played both the ezone and vcore: is the new vcore as maneuverable as the ezone? Because that's currently the single biggest question I have to decide which one to get (I really like the red on new vcore though).
