Modern player's racquets are growing in popularity, and to meet the demand Dunlop has introduced the Force 98 Tour. This fast yet firm racquet weighs in at 11.5 ounces, an ideal weight for intermediate to advanced players. Built light and manoeuvrable to offer players loads of racquet head speed, the Force 98 Tour helps players generate power and spin for aggressive hitting. Our TW team of four took this racquet out for a month-long playtest to see what it really offers. What they found was a racquet that could trade heavy groundstrokes with the biggest of hitters. Everyone enjoyed the whippy feel of this Dunlop racquet, and it allowed them to create heavy, spin loaded shots that kept their opponents on their heels. Some of our team would have liked more mass and plough through for their serves and returns, and our team also noted a firm feel that sometimes felt uncomfortable. With manoeuvrability being our favourite aspect of the Force 98 Tour, players looking for a racquet loaded with power and spin will appreciate how easy it is to swing this racquet.

Next Wednesday is the last in a string of public holidays. Aside from one in June, standing out like an oasis in a desert, there are nothing but 5 day work weeks for as far as the eye can see.
But don't worry about that too much. Tomorrow's Friday. And Fridays are always good days.
Though arguably not quite as good as today. Have you seen the deals we're selling?
