Pros and Cons<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ultra 100<\/a> is a good all round racket that will suit a wide range of playing styles and skill levels but it does have a relatively stiff frame so if comfort is your main priority then this racket may not be for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ezone 98<\/a> offers a good mix of power, spin, and control but similar to the Ultra 100, it would not be considered the most arm-friendly frame to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to Head<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ultra 100<\/a> wins in terms of power, spin, and arm friendliness but the Ezone 98<\/a> is better in terms of control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Player Recommendations<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ultra 100 is best for intermediate to advanced players, while the Ezone 98 is only suitable for advanced players as it is a relatively heavy frame to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
