What players say
Reviewers see the Elevate V4 98 as a control-first player's frame that stays true to the line's identity while feeling more solid and refined than the V3 it replaces. It rewards players who generate their own power and want precise, controlled ball placement, but it will feel underpowered to players used to more forgiving modern frames.
Best for
- Advanced, hard-hitting players
- Players who want control over assistance
- Precise ball-strikers who create their own pace
Pros
- Strong control and predictable, precise ball placement
- Firmer, more solid feel than the previous V3 generation
- Good comfort and vibration dampening on off-center hits
- Feels right in the hand quickly, easy to adapt to
Cons
- Lacks inherent power, requires the player to generate their own pace
- Feel is more muted compared to frames like the Wilson Blade v10 or Head Radical
- Not a spin-focused frame, prioritizes control over spin generation

This racquet does not come with a lot of power, you need to bring your a-game to create powerful shots with the Elevate.

The Elevate is still a little more muted than those racquets, but I feel like I still have control over where the ball goes.
