Good review and solid list. I'd probably add the Solinco Whiteout as one of my favorites for the year. It probably had the best feel of any racquet I hit with in 2022.

I play with Yonex Ezone 98 2022 version strung with RPM Blast at 22/23 kg.

Fantastic work Jonas..congrats on your 2022 progress. Looking forward to 2023 content

[geoffreyhuysman]

My overal pick of the year is the Yonex Ezone 98

[TylerMcEntee]

Love the 2022 EZone 100. I have two strung with Solinco Hyper-G Soft at around 53lbs.

Diadem Elevate update is also going to be released very soon and I suppose it might have some fans too. Diadem makes a solid and very user-friendly racquets with a little better feel than e.g. Wilson.

What a great review! Very nice classifying per spin, power, control and head size!

[anthonydabaco]

Thanks Jonas, excellent summary of your favs. Have gone back in recent months to the 2019 TF40, such an awesome stick. Will def add the 2022 version in the new year. Great looking frame too.

[jorgeandrescoppiano]

Always a pleasure to see a new video of your Jon. Which would be your ideal specs and profile? Cheers man!

[anlinfu]

Thanks for this anticipated video Jonas! I have a question unrelated to the video, but which in your opinion suits better a baseline attacking style of tennis: Pure Strike 98 or Blade 98? Im looking for an upgrade for my current Pro Staff 97L, and I like attacking the ball with presicion and pace. Could you be kind enough to share your opinion? Thank you for a wonderful year of tennis reviews, and looking forward for new ones next year!

OMG man I love The Gear of the Year series.

[dimitristzimis]

Spin 98 i would possibly add the Dunlop SX 300 Tour.

[tberry]

Thanks. I switched to the new Pure Aero this year, & I love it!

[gavlatennis]

Dunlop Cx200 and Cx400 Tour are racquets of the year for me.

[diegojimeno]

Thanks for the video, you have a new subscriptor.

How do you recommend for all rounder player? I searching a 100 inch racquet, how do you think about Head radical MP, Head Extreme MP or Wilson Clash Pro V2? I'm a versatile player, with force (1.92 meters), good condition, intermediate-advanced level.

[johnbrondumnet]

Great video! I'm sticking with last year's winner of your control 98 category - HEAD Prestige Pro :)

[thebeat]

I highly agree especially the ezone98 and tf40
