Diadem Axis 98

Diadem Axis 98 Tennis Racket

The Axis 98 is built for competitive players who want more spin without giving up control. With a 98 sq in head and a 16x20 string pattern, it sits right in the sweet spot between precision and heavy topspin.

The standout feature is the Precision + Strike Zone. Modern players make contact higher in the string bed than they used to, and the Axis 98 is designed around that. The tightest part of the string pattern is repositioned higher in the frame, so you get a cleaner, more consistent response where you actually hit the ball.

The Air Foil Frame cuts through the air efficiently, helping you generate racket head speed without forcing extra effort on every swing. That matters when you're deep in a third set.

Comfort is handled by Kraibon, an elastomer used in motorsports and aerospace, which absorbs vibration at impact. The upgraded FS3 system adds three carbon fiber ribs, HMT Carbon, and high-density foam to keep the frame stable even when you're swinging big.

The result is a racket that plays planted and confident on both wings, gives you the spin to push opponents deep, and stays comfortable over long sessions.
