🎵 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 97H

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 Tour (2025) (SW 335), add 2g of lead tape at the 12 o'clock position on the Percept 97H. This raises its swingweight from 333 to approximately 336 kg·cm².
