How good are the BEST SELLING rackets of 2024?! | Rackets & Runners 

Yeah I’ve seen the Ezone gain popularity. But all the other rackets have more high profile players using them.

It is. Ezone has been the best and top selling racket 2 years in a row now. They also have new versions for more advanced players.

Except feel good imo but that’s personal. It’s a good frame but that’s why I passed on it.

Does any one know the difference in 98 vs 100 ezone, pls share your racquet experience of the ezone's ( I am in dilemma which one to buy 98 or 100 )

@@Nikhil_G9 I own both versions and it depends what you prefer. The Ezone 100 will offer you an abundant amount of power with a sacrifice in control, where the Ezone 98 sacrifices a slight amount of relative power for far more control - you can still generate stupid amounts of power if your technique is sound however. It can also depend if you're comfortable using a 98 or 100 square inch head, the Ezone 98 does however have one of the most generous sweets spots of any 98sq head on the market. Both are very muted frames that do have a tendency to cause arm problems if you have poor technique, have a sensitive arm or string it with too high tension and a stiff poly string.

Awesome! Glad it's working for you.

@leon.3d what strings & tension did you pair it with?

Thank you very much!

Glad to hear that!

Are you enjoying it? I have a Ezone 100 and I feel the need of some control and feel, and I was thinking the 100d would fit

Lol 100d's 18*19

I have a 100D and I think it will satisfy what you are looking for. I have demoed a few of the Ezone iterations and found them lacking in control and feel. Give the 100D a try, you may like it. Good luck ​@@filipepaivaesousa9105

I have the 100D and I think it will satisfy what you are looking for. I demoed the Ezone 100 and found it lacking in feel and control. The Percept will not give you as much free power and has a lower launch angle. Directional control is awesome. Give it a shot. Good luck 👍

@@ilips6588 I know, but a 18x20 setup should still be closer to the 100D‘s 18x19 than a 16x19 I think

Novak has to use the paint job and he doesn't like bright colored rackets

Agree with this!

I, too, felt the speed was a little dead. Went with a Boom Pro strung with a gut hybrid but eventually switched back to my Pure Drive with gut hybrid.

It's definitely a bit more sluggish than it used to be but I think that has generally helped it's stability and plow through.

I'll definitely talk about this in the video.

Definitely something I'm trying to work into the schedule.

The old one is great too!

The Ezone is close. I may do 6-10 soon because that's arguably even more interesting.

My thought exactly. Sinner plays with an old Radical painted to look like a Speed though.

No it's an old speed...not that far from the actual speed..nole's playing with an old radical mold..

It's pretty crazy how underrated that stick is. AC tennis goated that stick and he's the premier RU-vid reviewer

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

I kind of disagree, I think all these rackets are quite good and special frames that perhaps don't have the "magic" us tennis nerds appreciate, but that's not as important as we sometimes make it out to be.

I would treat the demo process as a blank canvas! Try a bit of everything since you don't have much of a preference yet. I don't know much about that racket either but maybe start with the current Extreme.

Wow... I stopped playing at around 2000 too, not that I'm already a good player then. And I used my father racket, which maybe the same one as yours, head intelligence extreme. And yes, it felt too much power. So i tried several racket that can fits me. I tried Wilson Hyper Hammer, Head Gravity, Head Boom, Head Radical, Head Speed, Yonex VCore, Babolat Pure Aero and finally the Yonex Percept 100D, which is the ones that really connects to me. My second choice would be Vcore 97. So now I used Yonex Percept 100D, and I loved the feel. And after this 3 months, I can say I improved much on my control

Agree with the response here!

Unfortunately we don't carry Prince's top-end rackets right now.

Prince tour 100p 18/20. 305g Is the perfect ex

This is definitely true.

how would you describe the power??

@@rob-bu3yw Less than Pure Aero 100, Head Extreme MP but in the same category as Speed MP - Blade 100 is slightly more controlled with better feel (for me at least). Yes i own one V8 (tested v9 as well).

Casper Ruud plays with a 100 ...just sayin'

I think you will get the most out of it if you're a 4.5 at least, yes.

The Head Boom Pro.

RPM Blast 17 is what I always default to in the Pure Drive.

Quite different rackets. I prefer the Speed as I find it feels more solid/spin-friendly.

I prefer 1.25. More control and consistency.

Blade 98

That's very nice to hear!

I have the two, and they are quite different... Blade 98 16x19 has more spin and it's easier to use than Gravity Pro... it's well suited for one hand backhander and has great control.. Gravity Pro is a really good racket too, but demand more, and has good amount of spin (not as Blade)... it's a 100 squared heaad, with 18x20 pattern, but very forgiving with good sweet spot... both really good frames tho... nowadays i prefer the Gravity Pro because the Blade has a more long format that for me makes me lose a bit of maneuverability, but Gravity is a little more heavier too... i hope i could help anyway lol

@@murilo3123 wasnt expecting for someone to reply on this but thank you, it was really helpful and i might be going for the gravity. really thank you

I don't think so, to be honest.

Where it all began for me!

Gauff uses boom line

Gauff uses a Boom paint job.

It's much more user-friendly and well-rounded which explains the higher popularity.

Unfortunately I've never been able to try it.

Try the Wilson Blade 100. A touch more control but still similarly well-rounded playability.

😭

I would go for the 2024.

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver thanks but does not higher swing weight cause sluggishness at the net? And maybe it is more muted causing less feel at touch?

Buy a 2022 black one.

@@ProfDrTeomanCemKadioglu don’t like. I will go back to Blade simply

I agree it's a little more muted. I'm not sure which one I prefer.

@@orestiszapranis1155 blade has less power and is less forgiving. 2022 speed mp can be customized to perfection with minimal weight at 3 and 9.

@@ProfDrTeomanCemKadioglu I had MP 22 and placed lead on 3&9. Around 340g static and 325sw. Indeed great racket but still lack of control at times ..

Likely sometime in 2025

Not exactly sure yet but I would guess within the next year.

Much appreciated.

No, that's the older on. New tech on the 2024.

Exactly. From my knowledge Alcaraz is basically the only one using the actual racket he endorses. The fact is - all this new technology is just a selling point. Pretty sure sinner uses a racket from 2016. For pros is about modifying a stock racket to their liking.

Yes, very good.

Yes!!

Who knows...

Sinner doesn't use a Speed either.

​@@jamesbittle9789He does. Is one of the early models before graphene.

I have no idea 😅

@@RacketsRunnersVancouver Ha Ha ha

Nope, Sinner uses an old Radical according to Tennisnerd.

​@@jamesbittle9789 Think you may need to redo your research buddy.

His version is pretty awesome too...

Price bias..that's why ferraris sell less than fiats lol

@@ilips6588 Yonex quality control much better than Babolat or Wilson for sure, so get what you pay for I guess.

I think they just need to update the Ezone because that's there heavy hitter in terms of sales and it's coming time for an update.

I have the Ezone and 2 v7 Vcore 95 's and I think the quality control and workmanship is a step beyond any Wilson or Babolat for sure.

Possibly since it has auxetic 2.0

I had the 2023 Speed MP and loved it…tested the Speed MP 2024 and didn’t like it one bit…the 2024 Speed Pro felt better for me, for some odd reason, the Auxetic 2.0 really made a difference on the Speed pro…and yeah I bought the Legend version (all black looks so sexy)

They're the same

@@caw1337Speed Pro and Speed Legend are the same…but the paint job is so much better on the Legend

Speed Legend is a Pro not a MP version right? So the two rackets he compared were different in more than just the paint job!

I have 1. How much weight did u put in yours?

@@rcyc I weight up my blade about 15 gram. Ultra about 20 g. Mostly handle. And a little on throat.

ultra is more powerful and spinny than blade? I'm thinking about testing the blade, but ultra sounds good too. i would actually like to test the pure aero 98 or blade v9 18x20

Ultra V4 is not good for touch shots and is slow at net.

@@rob-bu3yw yea . Benefit from stiffer frame. I think generally better for me. My level is around 3.5 .

Is this post about the racquets or trashing NOLE the GOAT

@@solman5517 Rackets, if you'll read the post. He is the greatest to play the game AND he is unlikable. He can be both. There is a reason he's never been nominated for the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award. Even his colleagues don't much like him. If you have ever watched a match of his, the crowd is normally cheering more for his opponent. I'm not arguing about his abilities on the court. I'm simply stating a fact: people buy products when people they like and admire are promoting them. There's a reason Wilson has been the top racket seller for decades and Head is not. If Federer had been using a Head and Djo a Wilson I can guarantee you Head would have been #1 for the past 20 years and not Wilson. Wilson doesn't make an inherently better product, they just chose a more likeable front man.
