How it plays — our read
On the numbers, the Ripstick 98 is built around spin and power. It avoids any glaring weakness across the spec sheet. It asks for a confident, full swing and rewards players who generate their own racket-head speed. Arm comfort is middle-of-the-road: fine for most players, worth softer strings if you are sensitive.
