Babolat pure strike junior 2612/31/2023 ![]() ![]() I have talked about the issue before, so no need to dwell on it. So I definitely got a racquet at the top of the range in specs. Not sure what happened in the QC department, but the TW review demo was 323g strung and had a 327 SW. My racquet felt pretty heavy with those specs. The muted feel is not my cup of tea, but I still managed to hit touch shots with it, so it's not as disconnected as I felt at first. I prefer the 2017 version over this one, but I find this racquet to be ultra-stable, powerful, and very easy to generate depth with. More advanced players might find it to be a bit too much and long for the more connected feel of generation 2. Like you can read in the first sentence, the Pure Strike 98 is all about power. Head size: 98 sq inches Beam: 21 / 23 / 21 mm String pattern: 16×19 String: Solinco Confidential 1.25 at 54 lbs Weight: 336g Balance: 32.5 cm Swing weight: 342 How does it play? My strung specs (one overgrip) were on the heavier side Personally, I enjoy the improved comfort, but the power is often too much and I struggled to control my shots at times. The new Babolat Pure Strike 98 16×19 is definitely more powerful, muted, and offers a higher launch angle than the predecessor. If this is what they intended to do, they really succeded. What we can learn from all this is that the racquet is supposed to be more muted and comfortable than the predecessor and offer a bit more spin and power. The racquet also comes with FSI Power technology “which features wider spacing between the upper cross strings for easier access to spin and pace.” “ Better vibration dampening thanks to a new material integrated into the graphite of the racket that provides an incredible sound and a pure feel.” The new Pure Strike comes with Cortex Pure Feel which Babolat describes like this: You can buy the Pure Strike 98 from All Things Tennis. Use the code TENNISNERD and get 5% off on all racquet purchases and a free stringing. It is hard to get the brands to ship things to Malta and we don't have much of a tennis racquet market here, so I really appreciate it. Thanks to All Things Tennis for sending me a demo racquet. It is clear that this racquet is made to communicate towards the daring, aggressive player. The new Babolat Pure Strike 98 continues the white paint job that was introduced with generation 2 ( Project One Seven) but makes it bolder with black and red lettering across the frame. Tsonga went on to the Aero Pro Drive (which later became the Pure Aero), while Thiem remained with the Babolat Pure Strike 98. The Pure Strike came out in 2014 in the Darth Maul-inspired black and red paint job and had both Tsonga and Thiem as poster boys. ![]() ![]() You can read about the different ones on my page of Babolat tennis racquets. What the French company does well is not to introduce too many racquet lines in their range. The Pure Strike is Babolat's line of racquets for the more flat-hitting attacking player.
