The Yonex DR series gained a cult following for its unique blend of power, comfort, and stability. Released as the EZONE DR, this racket introduced Nanometric DR carbon, a material designed to improve frame flex and ball dwell time, leading to a softer, more connected feel.
Known for its plush response and forgiving nature, the DR series became a favorite among both recreational and professional players looking for easy power without sacrificing control. Though replaced by newer EZONE models, the DR series remains highly sought after for its exceptional comfort, stability, and all-around playability.
