Axis 98

Amazing power and control

I previously used the Yonex Ezone 98 and was shocked at how much MORE control and power the Axis 98 has. I love its weight and feel!

Easy Transition from the Elevate V3

I have been using the Elevate 98 V3 since it came out years ago along with Solstice Power strings. I am 60+ and have been playing for 50 years and needed just a bit more spin and pop and net clearance. The Axis 98 gives me exactly what i was hoping for. I play a very traditional game style with an eastern forehand and continental slice backhand. I am getting just that little extra net clearance but the transition from the Elevate was seamless since the string pattern, static weight, grip shape, head size etc. are all the same. I was hesitant to try the Axis due to the beam profile but it is just fine although in hand it feels a little weird having played with straight beam frames all my life. I was an early adopter of Diadem and I am glad that the company is getting some good publicity these days.

Love the spin and control on the racket. It feels great on the arm too. Definitely for someone with an aggressive swing / racket head speed.
