Seong-Chan Hong is a South Korean player with a career high singles rank of no 139, but what is his current racquet and strings setup?
Seong-Chan Hong’s Tennis Racquet
Seong-Chan Hong uses a 2022 Yonex Ezone 100 racquet. This racquet is a gem and in our humble opinion, better than the current Ezone 100 2025. He has been seen using different strings, but in recent pics, it looks like he is using Yonex PolyTour Pro. If you know Hong’s racquet specs or string tension, please comment below.
