Ok, so after a long period of testing a lot of racquets, and also losing a lot of money (can't demo where i live), i gave the DR 98 a try.
Just a brief background. Played in the last 2 years with - Babolat Pure Drive Tour (2015); Head Youtek IG Prestige MP; Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 (PS17); RF97 autograph; Vcore Pro 97s 310g and 330g; and Head Prestige Touch Pro.
Of the above, i really liked the Vcore Pro 97s, and they were my main sticks for a while but i was missing the hability to hit some balls with a little more pop, so i decided to buy an used DR98 to tryout.
Well, all i can say is that my hitting partner spent the whole night with a: "What the hell is going on?" or "Where did that come from?"
Amazing stick, i was doing lots o damage with my serve and forehand, right blend of power/spin/control, and i could serve and hit bombs for hours, without any disconfort on my elbow, shoulder, wrist, etc.
Did a miss the control of Vcore pro 97? Yes, a bit. Will that hold me from switching to DR 98? Never.
Long story short, i have some blue DR98 coming to me in the next few days.
