What players say
As a new-in-2026 frame, the Muse 98 has only a small but consistently positive body of feedback so far. Players and reviewers agree it is unusually comfortable and flexible for a 98 sq. in. control frame, giving connected feel and solid control, but it offers no free power and asks the player to generate their own pace.
Best for
- Advanced players who supply their own pace
- Players with arm/elbow sensitivity wanting a control frame
- Players moving from control frames like the EZONE 98
- All-court players who value feel over easy power
Pros
- Very comfortable, flexible frame described as soft without feeling mushy or dead
- Connected, controlled feel that reviewers call one of the most arm-friendly players' frames around
- More stable on returns and volleys against pace than expected for its weight
- Generates slightly more spin than comparable control frames like the EZONE 98
Cons
- No free power - players must supply their own pace on the ball
- Geared toward advanced players; doesn't offer the easy depth and net clearance of the Muse 100
- Very limited player feedback so far since it only released in 2026

Comfort: this is where the racquet really shines, extremely comfortable without being mushy
— Scott (WI), Web
don't misunderstand me as this is not a power racquet, not even close, you will not get the free power
— Scott (WI), Web
although not a spin monster I did feel that it did generate slightly more spin than the e-zone
— Jonas Eriksson, Tennisnerd.net, Web
There is a Muse 98 for players who like that ultra-flexible feel and cannot find much of it in the modern racquet market.
