Jury still out
I purchased this because I wanted a new racquet this year, I wanted to try natural gut once in my life and I thought it would be helpful to go smaller (98 vs my other 100's) for more control and power. Essentially I'm a 3.5, so there's plenty of other areas from me to improve upon.... I feel I have more control, but it could be related to the age / hrs of playing time on my other racquets which are all due for re-stringing. I'm not convinced this combo (strung w/ Babolat Touch VS 16 1.30 @ 53#) is delivering on power. I can def tell when I mis-hit. Off-the-shelf this racquet is my heaviest (305), per se, but it felt so light I added a lot of weight to the head with lead tape so I could feel the head on serves. I'm 50/50 on like/WTH? overall, but not a "in love" thang yet... optimistic at best right now.
