Energy Flow Shaft
Energy Flow Shaft uses a specially shaped, concave racquet shaft that balances flexibility and stiffness for smooth power transfer and controlled response. In MUSE, it works with SERVO FILTER to refine vibration and impact feel.
The Yonex MUSE 98 in Pearl Silver is the most precision-minded of the three MUSE frames in this selection. A 98-square-inch head and a 305 g unstrung weight make it a considered step away from the more accommodating MUSE 100 and 100L. It suits intermediate to advanced players with a reliable swing who enjoy choosing their targets, varying pace and feeling connected to the ball. Crucially, it keeps the welcoming feel that defines MUSE rather than chasing a harsh, uncompromising player-frame character.
A clearer target, with room to play
The Synchro Frame concept is still central here. ISOMETRIC geometry and Uniform Impact Grommets are designed to even out the response of the string bed, while the Energy Flow Shaft works with SERVO FILTER to deliver controlled flex and a refined impact sensation. For someone generating their own racquet-head speed, these details are about information and predictability: knowing how contact felt and having the confidence to commit to the next shot.
A 315 mm nominal balance accompanies the more compact head, and the 16x18 string pattern keeps spin and trajectory changes firmly in the conversation. The MUSE 98 rewards consistent timing more than its 100-square-inch siblings, but it never loses sight of comfort and rallying enjoyment. Finished in understated matte Pearl Silver, it is a thoughtful choice for players who want precision with a human touch, not just a collection of demanding specifications.
Technologies
ISOMETRIC
Yonex ISOMETRIC uses a more squared-off head geometry that optimizes main and cross string intersections. Yonex reports an approximately 7% larger sweet spot than a comparable conventional round head, supporting a more forgiving response when contact is off centre.
Servo Filter
SERVO FILTER is an elastic film integrated between graphite layers in the frame. It is designed to reduce unwanted vibrations while preserving useful feedback to the hand for a more precise impact feel.
Synchro Frame
Synchro Frame is the MUSE structural concept bringing together ISOMETRIC geometry, Uniform Impact Grommet and Energy Flow Shaft. Their interaction is engineered for smoother handling, a more consistent string-bed response and controlled energy transfer. It is a combined frame concept, not a separate graphite ingredient.
Uniform Impact Grommet
Uniform Impact Grommet uses a straighter grommet structure at the four corners of the hoop. Increased string movement is intended to make contact more consistent and forgiving, both on centered and off-center shots. It supports comfort and control without guaranteeing identical responses everywhere on the string bed.
VDM
VDM (Vibration Dampening Mesh) is a flexible mesh wrapped around the graphite inside the grip. It filters unwanted impact vibrations to provide a smoother, more comfortable feel in the hand.
