The benefits of oversize come at a cost, the larger sweetspot means less peak power, so if you are confident in your ability to hit the sweetspot you are far better off with a smaller sweetspot.
Yes, I tend to agree.
From my very brief research, it seems as though Federer spent most of 2014 experimenting with a number of variations on the 97sq model, and started using the 97 as his full time racquet in 2015. If that's correct, we've had 5 completed tennis seasons in that time, which means 20 slams, and Fed has won 3. I don't have the time to paint a more holistic picture (time at No1, other titles etc.) but it would be an interesting exercise.
