Diadem Elevate V4 98 Tennis Racquet
Description
The Elevate V4 98 is the easiest frame to handle in Diadem's flagship control line, which makes it a sensible entry point for players who want a tour-shaped 98 without a tour-sized workload. At 305 g and 7 points head light it comes through the hitting zone quickly, and the compact 98 sq in head keeps contact tight enough that the ball goes where you pointed it.
Kraibon is the change that defines this generation. It lets the frame give a little more at impact and settle again quickly, so less shock reaches your arm without the racquet feeling soft or slow. A 64 stiffness reading is low by modern standards, and the constant 21.5 mm beam keeps the profile thin the whole way round, favouring feel over free depth. The 16 x 20 pattern packs the strings closer together than a 16 x 19 does, which is what keeps the flight path low and repeatable.
