I have 2 Lime DR98s and just picked up 2 Tour F 97 310g (very similar spec to the Duel G). For my game (Eastern forehand and back, pretty traditional strokes, more of a flat-ish ball, and I like to swing out), I have found the DR98 to be a bit too powerful and inconsistent, hence looking for other options. I was climbing the tension ladder with the DR98s. Started at 53, went to 55, and would likely try 57 next with Synth Gut. I've tried to avoid Poly, as I was having arm issues, but may need to re-assess, as I bet a good poly would reign it in a bit. The frame does have great pop when you get it dialed in and nice control, but I was finding I was second guessing myself and playing tentatively. That is my impression over a several month span of playing about 2-3 times a week.
I've put about 3 hours in so far with the Tour F. Strung at 45 with PTP. My arm has had no issues with Poly in this instance so far. My other Tour F has a different string and I almost immediately felt twinges. The PTP set-up is very comfortable. RacquetTune has it reading at 36 lbs, but it was not freshly strung when I received it, I don't think. Still have power, but it is much more in check and consistent. I am much more confident swinging out and it has a much more direct power curve in my mind. I'm really liking it so far and already thinking of parting ways with the DR, but don't want to jump to conclusions just yet. I also feel like I am more consistently getting good string on the ball with the Tour F with less mishits than with the DR98. The head shape is different, which I think is a factor there. Tour F = more rectangular/oval, DR98 = more square/round.
Both are very nice sticks. The DR I think takes the edge in the "get out of jail free" department because of that added pop and power. The Tour F is going to probably be more consistent and steady, not as much fireworks.
