Playing characteristics of the Diadem Elevate 98 Lite V3:
Just like its heavier siblings, the 98 and the Tour, this Lite version of the new Elevate V3 is super stable. Very special for a racket with an unstrung weight of 290 grams! The racket twists very little and therefore also transmits very few annoying vibrations to the arm. What really completes it in terms of comfort is the rib structure on the inside of the racket wall (FS technology) with a rubber substance from Kraibon around it. For the rest, the frame is completely filled with foam. All these factors together make this a very arm-friendly option.
From the baseline, every ball contact feels as if you are handling a heavier racket: stable and with enough mass in the ball. The Diadem Elevate 98 Lite V3 has a nice direct control over the ball and therefore excellent precision. The spin potential is solid and controlled, without the ball trajectory becoming too high. For players with a deep grip, we recommend a Nova FS 100 or 100 Lite. If you have a slightly more traditional grip, then this Elevate works wonderfully.
Are you looking for lightweight precision with plenty of arm-friendliness? Then this racket is highly recommended!
The Diadem Elevate 98 Lite V3 offers a surprisingly solid playing feel for a 'Lite' racket. In addition, this racket combines precision with excellent damping!
