Designed for intermediate to advanced players who want a cleaner, more controlled response without the harsh feel of traditional player frames, the MUSE 98 blends precision with comfort in a way that is easier to live with.
With its 98 sq in head, it gives you a more focused, accurate contact point while still maintaining a forgiving response for its category. You get control on your targets, but without the demanding feel that usually comes with smaller head sizes.
On court, it feels smooth and composed. It rewards full swings with a predictable ball flight, while still offering enough forgiveness to keep rallies flowing when contact is not perfect. Compared to the 100, this version feels tighter and more precise, with slightly less free power and a more direct response.
Within the Yonex lineup, the MUSE 98 sits apart from both the VCORE and EZONE. It is more comfortable and forgiving than both, with less emphasis on spin or raw power. Where VCORE is built for aggressive topspin and EZONE for easy power, MUSE focuses on fluidity, control, and reducing physical strain during play.
Best for: Players who want a more precise, controlled racquet with added comfort and forgiveness compared to traditional 98 sq in frames.
