🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

EZONE 98 2022

Balanced stiffness (RA 65). A mid-stiffness co-poly like Babolat RPM Team or Wilson Revolve at 52–56 lbs gives a comfortable all-court setup without sacrificing spin or control.

Speed Pro 2026

Very flexible frame (RA 61) — arm-friendly. Pair with a crisp co-poly like Luxilon ALU Power Rough at 54–58 lbs to add control and prevent the string bed feeling too elastic.

⚖️ Specs Equalizer

Can I make these specs match?

To match the swingweight of the Speed Pro 2026 (SW 328), add 8g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the EZONE 98 2022. This raises its swingweight from 318 to approximately 328 kg·cm².
