Blade 98 vs 100

[Wocking]

Right now I’m looking for a good racquet with more control/predictability than my Vcore 100. I’m thinking of demoing a radical mp, aero 98, Vcore 98, and blade 98. It is hard for me to get demos where I live and my friend has a blade 100. Is there a significant difference between the 98 and 100? Any suggestions to change my list?

Edit: What about the pure strike 98 and 100?

The 100 gives a little more pop for free, doesn’t have quite the feel the 98 does. I would say the blade is more controlled than the vcore, but maybe wait for new blades if you’re not worried about price

I am also thinking about these two rackets.
Isn't the 100 much lighter than the 98?

Not much, just 5 grams. 300g

OK sorry, I got the specs mixed up with the 100L.
The 100L is listed at 285 g. unstrung and the 100 at 300 g.
I tried the 100L last week by accident ( I thought I had the 98) and it was really cool.
Now I'd like to try the 98 and 100 to see how they compare.

what is your game style? I’m looking at the same rackets now. I need some spin and that’s why the vcore 98 sounds fitting. I don’t like babolats because they are not arm friendly. That leaves the radical, which is a very good one and the blade. You can’t go wrong with any of these three imo. I’ll go for the vcore because yonex has better quality control than the other brands and I’m not into customising.
