What players say
Reviewers agree the Elevate V3 98 is a genuine control frame for players who generate their own pace, with a 16x20 pattern that rewards clean, full swings and excellent net feel. Written reviews from Tennisnerd and Mijnracket praise its stability and arm comfort thanks to the Kraibon material, but TennCom's review pushes back hard, calling it stiff, unforgiving off-center, and rough on the arm during returns.
Best for
- Aggressive baseliners who generate their own power
- Players who value control over spin or power
- Net players wanting precise touch
- Players coming from classic stiff player's frames
Pros
- Strong, predictable control on full swings and approach shots
- Stable, confident feel at net with good touch on volleys
- Arm-friendly and comfortable in normal rallies according to most reviewers
- Solid slice and decent serve performance
Cons
- Not a spin or power frame; punishes short or rushed swings
- Off-center stability is weak according to at least one reviewer
- One reviewer found it uncomfortable and vibration-prone on service returns
- Requires a full, committed swing to unlock its benefits

It feels softer, perhaps thanks to the Kraibon. The feeling is 'plush', which I think most players will enjoy.

It's a very solid control racquet that can compete with the best.
— Mijnracket review, Web
Comfort is without a doubt one of the Elevate 98 V3's strongest points.

These are quite possibly the worst returning racquets that I've reviewed.
