What players say
Tennis Warehouse playtesters across NTRP levels found the Tour 98 Carbon balances real spin and depth with more pop than its specs suggest, and comfort stayed high even on off-center hits. Complaints were minimal and mostly cosmetic, with one tester needing a match or two to adjust to its higher natural launch angle.

I really don't love the cosmetic. I know, very material of me, but I just don't like it.
