Matcheur 98 X — Tight Control
€220.00
“Control made predictable.”
Thin, aerodynamic 98 head with a dense 18×20 pattern: the trajectory tightens, the ball becomes predictable even at high pace. At 69 RA, a firm and direct response (not the plush of a soft retail blade — this is a lively frame). For the flat / semi-topspin, more linear player after mastery and precision on fast balls. X-axis: the tight stroke.
Specs: 98 in² · 18×20 · 69 RA · 27″ · carbon frame · glossy black, no graphics.
Recommended setup: 320 · Neutral or 300 · Head.

The Matcheur foundation — 69 RA, firm not soft
Modern tennis is tangential — you brush the ball to create spin — and that calls for a frame with enough response to keep depth while generating action. 69 RA is exactly that level. Comfort doesn't come from a soft frame: it comes from the right setup (which lets you relax), the right string and a properly fitted handle.
Set up & matched to order
Raw frame (no damping tech), glossy black, no graphics — the only Matcheur marking sits on the buttcap trapdoor. Two sets of grommets included. Interchangeable 3D-printed handle, made to your hand — shape and size, re-sizable over time. A measured-spec certificate (weight, balance, swingweight, twistweight, recoilweight) ships with every racquet.
Options & customization
Grid setup is included in the price. Stringing (N°1 to N°7) is available as a paid option. Certified pair-matching or a custom (off-grid) setup: €50.
Guarantees
Two sets of grommets · Anti-obsolescence (refinishable) · ProSetup (hand-tuned & matched) · Spec certificate.
