Where to buy
What players say
Independent press, video, and forum coverage of this exact Lite 98 v3 frame is thin online — most detailed racquet reviews (Tennisnerd, TennCom) cover the heavier standard Elevate V3 or Tour siblings instead, not the Lite. The direct customer feedback that does exist for this specific model is positive, praising its control and a soft, comfortable feel, with the lighter 290g build making it easier to swing than its stablemates.
Best for
- Control-minded players who want a lighter, more maneuverable 98 sq in frame
- Players wanting a softer, arm-friendly feel
- Juniors or developing players moving up from a lighter racquet
Pros
- Owners describe control as excellent with a soft, plush feel
- Lighter (290g) than the standard Elevate V3 and Tour, so it swings more easily
- Comfortable enough that at least one buyer had it recommended by their coach for a junior player
Cons
- Very little independent written, video, or forum testing covers this exact Lite variant specifically — most in-depth reviews online are of the standard or Tour Elevate V3
- Not every buyer rated it 5 stars on the brand's own product page (roughly 1 in 6 gave 3 or 4 stars), so reception isn't universal
