What Works
When compared to the rest of the Aero family, the 98 has the smallest head, densest string pattern and thinnest beam. Which makes it the model with the greatest measure of control and versatility. But it’s still an Aero, capable of producing a lively ball packed with pace and spin. It just requires more of a swing and cleaner contact from the user, which is something better players—the frame’s target audience—will certainly appreciate.
The tighter string pattern and smaller head improve the targeting on serves and ground strokes, yet there’s still enough inherent power to provide quick strike damage with either. The frame offers a confidence to go after the ball without a fear of overhitting that wasn’t quite there with the previous VS, and certainly not so from the standard Pure Aero.
It’s also perhaps the most comfortable, arm-friendly Aero. Maybe ever. The lowered flex can seemingly be felt at contact, which is not typical of this franchise. It also elicits more trusted feedback. There’s a greater predictability of what to expect when the ball is struck off-center.
Another area of noted separation from the standard Pure Aero is at net. The heightened ball feel and softer flex lead to more versatile and controlled volleying. Same goes for touch and specialty shots; there’s no limitations when it comes to taking pace off the ball, finding angles and employing guile.
As with the outgoing VS, the 98 will continue to be offered as a single or in matching pairs. The two matched racquets are intended to have a maximum weight variance of just 1 gram, well below industry standard. This is a welcome assurance for competitive players who generally require more than one frame.
