How it plays — our read

On the numbers, the Tour 98 is built around control and arm comfort. It avoids any glaring weakness across the spec sheet. The weight sits in the accessible-but-stable middle, workable for a wide range of swing speeds. It is one of the gentler frames on the arm, a sensible pick if elbow or wrist comfort is a real concern.

String and tension recommender

Setup
Multifilament/poly hybrid
Tension
48-54 lbs / 22-24.5 kg
A slightly firmer setup can sharpen directional control. Do not chase control with high tension if comfort drops. Hybrid for balanced response.
