The Diadem Axis 98 is Diadem's spin racquet, launched in 2025 for competitive players. It has a 98 in² head, a 16x20 pattern, 305 g unstrung, a 315 mm balance and a stiffness of 68 RA, with an aerodynamic 21.5/23.5/22 mm beam. The Precision+ impact zone raises the denser part of the string bed to where the ball usually hits, and the FS3 system, with three carbon ribs, plus Kraibon give stability and comfort. It delivers a lot of spin with control.

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.

Buyer reviews

Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has.

Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet.
