Verdict
The blue racket that still makes pace feel free—softer than older Pure Drives, still firm, still the club default when you want the ball to go.
The current Vapor speed shoe—lighter feel than a stability tank, better lockdown than older Pros, and still the Nike answer when you want to cut first and plant second.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
