I hit with the racket for an hour and was hitting as well as ever. I am a 5.0 player in the Phoenix area. I’ve been playing tennis for over 50 years. It is rare to pick up a racket and feel comfortable right off the bat. I’ve played with Wilson Blade for the last few years. I just changed to the Diadem Axis. Thank you.

This racket is perfect. I cannot express how much I love it. I originally got the Axis 100, but it was a bit heavy - but the Team was the magic trick. I have played with Babolat Pure Aero's for most of my adult life. But the frames kept breaking with my western forehand. I've had no such problem with the Axis - plus the feel is so much better. I simply cannot envision ever changing to a new racket. Bravo!!!

This racket is truly the best. It manages excellent control, even better than some actual control oriented rackets with the 16x20 string pattern and high stiffness, yet the swing weight makes it effortless to create spin and power. I couldn’t ask for better feel either.

I really like how it hits.

Great raquet - huge spin potential - I added lead to the hoop as per my prefrence for a little more umph behind my serve and for off center hits, but great raquet for the modern spin heavy game.

Great quality rackets, but a little bit head heavy for me.

My new main racquet.

Wonderful racquet. Awesome on the arm and great spin and this the best racquet for serving. It’s amazing how good this racquet is. Very under rated.

This is the best raquet I've used! Control, feel, and spin! I highly recommend the Axis 98!

Great feeling racket with crazy spin.

I purchased the Axis 100 not long after it came out and had high hopes for it being a comfortable Aero competitor. I enjoyed hitting with it when I first received it, but would always end up putting it back in my bag for something else. It was a more comfortable Aero, and I couldn't put my finger on why I couldn't play with it over a 2-hour session each week. That is, until I purchased a Briffidi swing weight machine this past winter and received my answer. With dampener, overgrip, and some 17g Toroline strings, among other 17g strings, the SW was 336! I also put in some 18g Volkl Cyclone, and the SW was 332! This is with a static weight of 11.4 ounces and a 3-point head-light balance, all in with overgrip, dampener, and strings. I wish Diadem had a trade-in program, and I might try the Team version. I also wish Diadem would advertise their average SW's. It is also possible that I just received one with an unusual spec to make the SW so high. I suggest that everyone buy a Briffidi because it is eye-opening on how much SW can vary from different rackets with similar static specs. As a 3.5 most days, and can compete with 4.0's in the summer when I play more, I found that my sweet spot is around a 320-325 all in SW. I currently use the Aero 100 2026 with a 320 SW with strings, overgrip and dampener, which is definitely easier to whip around over a couple of hours. I still prefer the more solid feel and comfort of the Axis 100, but the SW is just too high for me.

Love this racquet. Also had a couple testers love it as well. I will be adding a leather grip to increase the weight but that’s a personal preference.
This is a great foundation to build from for players of different skill sets.

I am loving this racket. I used to use Head Extreme line. I first went with the Nova which is when I stopped using my Head rackets. I decided to try out the Axes.
Anybody want to buy a couple of Head Extreme rackets.

Felt very similar to a Pure Aero. Good stability. Lot of pop and spin. High launch angle.

The Diadem Axis rackets are the best rackets I have ever used! I have 2 with the standard cosmetics and two of the Svito versions. They are the same specs, just different cosmetics. I am a former D1 and professional player, age 70, and am still playing competitively. I switched from Babolat Pure Aero, and prefer these new Diadem rackets. I wish these were around in my younger days.

I previously used the Yonex Ezone 98 and was shocked at how much MORE control and power the Axis 98 has. I love its weight and feel!

Nice racket. Looks good but not the right feel for me. Swing weight was a little low for me

Diadem's reaccquet demo program is eady to use. The ten day rental period is more than enough to try their racquets.

I already love the Axis… Great racket with incredible spin and forgiving feel. This paint job takes it over the edge to make it an absolutely incredible racket overall.
My only regret is not buying more of them while they were still in stock

Love the spin and control on the racket. It feels great on the arm too. Definitely for someone with an aggressive swing / racket head speed.

I demoed this racquet and the 98" last year and just purchased both.

I have been using the Elevate 98 V3 since it came out years ago along with Solstice Power strings. I am 60+ and have been playing for 50 years and needed just a bit more spin and pop and net clearance. The Axis 98 gives me exactly what i was hoping for. I play a very traditional game style with an eastern forehand and continental slice backhand. I am getting just that little extra net clearance but the transition from the Elevate was seamless since the string pattern, static weight, grip shape, head size etc. are all the same. I was hesitant to try the Axis due to the beam profile but it is just fine although in hand it feels a little weird having played with straight beam frames all my life. I was an early adopter of Diadem and I am glad that the company is getting some good publicity these days.

Nice configuration for a Team racket -- 280 grams, head heavy unstrung. Only reason I did not give it five stars was that the trap door in the handle kept popping out of the frame when I serve. I had to super glue the trap door in place so that ruled out putting any weight in the butt cap (there is not much room in there any way). Also, it would be nice if Diadem published the target unstrung swing weight for this racket (the Axis Team) since I think the Axis Team could be popular with folks looking to customize.

Great racket

Super light and excellent feel. Love this racket!

A lot of easy power with good control ..great for
Someone who needs a little help with generating pace. Spin potential is very good but can flatten ball too

Love the raquet! Frame, string, grip and logos/lettering. So so cool

Love the racket. I just thinkI need to leave it as an option if my body aches and pains worsen it’s a fine racket.

Really enjoying the Racquet, set it up like Elina's (shout out to Harry at Tennis Spin). Big sweet spot, power and spin. I just ordered a second one.

An immediate change! Went from the PA98 which was a bit too much on the arm, and once finding the perfect string setup for me, the Axis 98 has been a no-brainer to control all aspects of my game. Incredible feel, spin, and confidence at the baseline to the net. 5/5
