Choose the EZONE 98 Tour (2025) if…

All-court players, intermediate to advanced

Very flexible — max comfort (RA 62)

Choose the Percept 100D if…

Arm-sensitive players, comfort-first

Medium — balanced (RA 66)

🎵 String strategy for each frame

These are different rackets — they deserve different string setups.

EZONE 98 Tour (2025)

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.

Percept 100D

Balanced stiffness (RA 66). 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.

⚖️ Specs Equalizer

Can I make these specs match?

To match the swingweight of the EZONE 98 Tour (2025) (SW 335), add 13g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the Percept 100D. This raises its swingweight from 318 to approximately 335 kg·cm².
