Pros and Cons
The Gravity Pro offers good control from the baseline, great feel and stability on volleys, and is comfortable to play but it is a low powered frame so it won’t be suitable for beginners to intermediate players.
The Ezone 98 offers a good mix of power, spin, and control but it is not a particularly arm-friendly frame.
