Side-by-side comparison using independent TWU lab measurements
Aggregated spec scores
Scores calculated from TWU RA, weight, head size and string pattern.
Lab data comparison
Measurements from Tennis Warehouse University (TWU)
RA Stiffness — lower = more flex & comfort
Weight — higher = more stability
Swingweight — higher = more plow-through momentum
Choose the EZONE 98 (2025) if…
All-court players, intermediate to advanced
Flexible — arm-friendly (RA 63)
Choose the VCORE 98 2023 if…
Aggressive baseliners, heavy topspin players
Very flexible — max comfort (RA 62)
🎵 String strategy for each frame
These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.
EZONE 98 (2025)
Balanced stiffness (RA 63). 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.
VCORE 98 2023
Very flexible frame (RA 62) — 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 EZONE 98 (2025) (SW 320), add 2g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the VCORE 98 2023. This raises its swingweight from 318 to approximately 321 kg·cm².
