Babolat adds a sleek grey cosmetic to the Pure Strike 98

Introducing the Pure Strike 98 16x19 Carbon Grey! Like the standard cosmetic version, this racquet is designed for intermediate and advanced players who crave controllable power and great feel. Featuring more spin potential than its 18x20 counterpart, this racquet's more open pattern makes it easier to execute the full range of angles and trajectories. Other specs include a 330 swingweight, which not only keeps the racquet stable against higher levels of pace but also translates into impressive power on full cuts. For this update, Babolat adds FSI Control technology, which features tighter string spacing for an even more precise and predictable trajectory. To help with comfort, Babolat updates this racquet with NF2-Tech (flax fibers) in the shaft while keeping the head free of dampening agents to provide more direct ball feedback. As with previous generations, this frame benefits from Control Frame Technology, which blends square and elliptical cross sections to enhance stability and ball feedback. Ultimately, the Pure Strike 98 16x19 Carbon Grey is ideal for experienced players looking for a stable racquet with controllable power and great feel.

Getting backI'm getting back into tennis after 30 years. I needed a solid racquet that provided consistency and control. This racquet provides both without sacrificing power.

Happy to Purchase 2 Discontinued Pure StrikesThe racquet is everything the demo was. Pleased to find it.

Comfortable relaxed playI hit a heavy ball with more ball speed than most recreational players who are 4.5. I found this racquet comfortable on the arm, very easy to control, less spin friendly (RPM Blast, 16x19), less responsive during a put away shot and less responsive during the serve. Pure Aero is harder on the arm, but noticeably more responsive and has more potential for aggressive play.

Explosive Power with Surprising ControlThe Babolat Pure Strike 98 has been a game-changer for me. My forehand groundstrokes have more depth and height control, and I rarely feel like the ball flies on me. Serves are powerful with great kick potential, and volleys feel solid and connected. I can swing bigger without sacrificing consistency. Pairs very nicely with spin strings like Toroline Caviar and Yonex Polytour Rev.

Prefer the heavier gen 3 tour.It's a good racquet I just prefer the gen 3 tour version. I tried to add weight at 3 and 9 O'clock but the racquet didn't hit slice backhands well with it. I hope Babolat comes out with a heavier gen 4 tour version with a 66 to 68 RA stiffness rating.

Really nice power alternative to BladeThis racquet has loads of stability and plow through because of the hefty swing weight. Also comes with the typical power and spin of a Babolat, but more control. Excellent middle ground racquet for serious players who want Babolat playability but with more control. Feel probably isn’t as good as a blade, or not as maneuverable as an Ezone 98 or Aero 98, but it’s a worthy trade-off.

MarvelousTried this out and ended up getting a second. Previous racquet was a VCORE Pro 97. Loved that racquet but wanted a little bit more pop from my control racquet in the same weight or lighter frame. This racquet has that pop and then some. Very versatile yet sturdy. Pretty good on the one handed backhand and excellent from the baseline. Serving is also exhilarating, best racquet of 2024.

Good fitThis racquet is my to go-to. It’s got a good weight and good for my topspin and power shots. I’d recommend this as the starter racquet from beginner to intermediate.
