The Dunlop Precision 98 Tour is perfect for intermediate and advanced ball strikers looking for a powerfully precise weapon. At 332 grams strung, this racket will give you decent stability against pace, but it definitely errs on the side of speed. With its manageable swingweight (315 RDC) and headlight balance, the Precision 98 Tour explodes through the air with remarkable ease for its weight class.

The dense 18×20 string pattern provides impressive directional control along with a low trajectory, making it great for those who like driving the ball powerfully through the court. To help soften ball impact this model comes with SRX Shock Reduction technology in the handle. It also has Parallel Drilling in the head to enhance comfort and power.

The beam gets Dunlop’s new Hybrid Cross Section which combines a rounded aero profile with a box shape for a more optimal balance of power, control and feel. From the baseline the Precision 98 Tour feels comfortably firm and very accurate on big swings. The dense pattern will help you flatten the ball out, and the ‘whippy’ headlight balance definitely helps with topspin mechanics. Power is there when needed but it remains manageable enough to inspire confidence on the biggest cuts. At net this stick is weighted for speed, giving it a high grade on reaction volleys.

The fast feel also helps on service returns where this racket comes around like lightning to deliver extremely easy targeting. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a light player’s racket that hits a precise and penetrating ball should add this one to their demo list.

Additional technologies include a Glide Polymer on the grommets to optimize string movement for enhanced power, and a Hyper Flare on the butt cap for greater leverage.
