11/19/2023 0 Comments Babolat pure strike 98This racquet gives me amazing spin, seamless power and excellent control. Overall, this racquet is worth it, but pray you get lucky with a good string job if you order it strung.Ĭomments: I am a 4.0 player with preferred game of counter-punching from the baseline. I had to cut it out and string it myself. The tension in the mains at the end were noticeably lower than the center. I ordered a Clash and a Pure Aero a few months back and the string jobs were good, but whoever did this Pure Strike didn't finish properly. I do have to mention though that TW stringing quality has been going down. This racquet played great in stock form, but after adding a leather grip and 3 grams of lead tape at 3 and 9, it feels even more stable. I came from a Wilson Clash 98 and I am never going back. The frame softens up when you really hit hard which makes winning easy with lots of winners and cuts out a lot of mistakes, too.Ĭomments: This racquet is amazing. Biggest surprise was slicing - very accurate with good pace. The ball leaves the strings a little quicker than I am used to, so my forehand timing was off a little at first. Really suits one-handed backhand and comes through very fast. Makes serving very easy with lots of power and placement, you can hit big with confidence. With some incremental updates to the feel, the Pure Strike 16x19 remains one of the more seductive and user-friendly player's racquets in Babolat's line-up.Ĭomments: Still pretty crisp compared to the previous generation, but no elbow or joint tenderness. It comes around with decent speed but it also feels stable against higher levels of pace, and it's versatile enough for finishing points with a bang or dropping the ball on a dime. At net the Pure Strike offers the best of both worlds. The higher swingweight of this 3rd Gen version comes in handy when battling against higher levels of pace or driving the ball through the court. It offers the spin-friendly precision of the Pure Drive but with a softer response and better ball feedback. From the baseline the Pure Strike 16x19 feels solid and surgical. The upshot is an even more dampened feel than the previous generation with slightly better pocketing. New to this frame is C ² Pure Feel, a material technology that combines cortex with a uniquely flexible viscoelastic rubber at 3/9 o'clock. This racquet also has FSI Power technology which features wider spacing between the upper cross strings for easier access to spin and pace. Like the previous generation, it has a hybrid frame construction (called Control Frame Technology), which blends the control and feel of square beam with the speed and dynamism of a modern elliptical beam. Boasting a slightly higher swingweight than the previous generation, this racquet packs a tad more stability and power, but it's still fast enough for aggressive all-court players, and it still offers the same mindless precision on full cuts. The new Pure Strike line is specifically designed to deliver sharp control with an exceptional feel for offensive performance players who want to hit hard with full confidence.With this racquet, Babolat updates the popular Pure Strike 16x19 with a new dampening technology while keeping the seductive playability of the previous generation. The benchmark for aggressive hard hitters. Weighted at 305g (unstrung) for unique stability on every shot. Massive spin thanks to the 16x19 string pattern. New sharp control combining exceptional feel and dynamic control. Features a 98 square inch headsize and thin 21/23/21mm section. A racquet suited for the Modern Game, the new Babolat Pure Strike captures the essence of modernity, both in design and playability.
