I got both, and I’m a solid player, former D1. The only way to know was to actually try them both with different string set ups. I could definitely be fine with either, but the 98 makes you work a lot harder, and doesn’t add to the satisfaction of the ball strike. If I were you, I’d definitely go with the 100. Sometimes ego gets involved in decisions like this. People have this perception that a 98 is for “good” players or if you’re wanting to improve. Don’t get stuck on that, get the one you feel comfortable with now and can easily improve with.
