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.
