ANA IVANOVIC BLOG. Yonex E-Zone Ai 98.

The E-Zone Ai 98 updates the E-Zone Xi 98, Ana Ivanovic's racquet of choice. Like its predecessor, this modern player's racquet can do it all, from consistent grinding to aggressive ball striking. 
With a stable and comfortable feel on impact, the E-Zone Ai 98 delivers easy access to spin and phenomenal control. There's also some power under the hood thanks to how rapidly this one accelerates. 
Topspin players will have all the ingredients necessary to hit a heavy ball with this one. With a little weight customization, advanced players will be able to create a stick with maximum stability and plow through. However, make no mistake, this racquet is pretty solid considering its very manageable weight. 
Harsh vibrations are kept to a minimum thanks to the Dual Shut System which builds extra dampening and shock absorption into the grommets and handle. At net this one offers a solid feel against pace with enough feel and responsiveness to drop touch volleys on dime.
On serves the open 16x19 string pattern supplies the needed bite for hitting effective slices and kickers. All in all, this well rounded stick is simply a great option for intermediate level player and above.
