Head Gravity Tour 98 Retail Version
We reviewed the “Pre-Release” model a few weeks ago, so here is the retail version review!
Much of the data is the same, so if you have hit the Pre-Release version, you should not expect significant changes—except for one big one: the graphics! Some hitters have proclaimed this the “best-looking racquet of all time!”
Of course, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” so we will leave that up to you. Recreating the look realistically with a picture is impossible, so you need to see it in person!
Besides looking great, this racquet offers some welcome performance features:
- Flex
- Swing Weight
- Head Size
- String Pattern
- Grommet System
The following table lists most of the features. One essential feature is the grommet system, a “cap” system that helps protect the string from court damage caused by “ball to foot” pickup! If you can’t stop doing that, you need this protection!
