Description

The Pure Strike series has been updated to improve on the already impressive control this series provides, with the Pure Strike 97 achieving the most control of the series which is suitable for advanced players looking to maximize their control game and hit with total confidence.

The new Pure Strike is specially designed to give you even more control with every stroke. With its hybrid beam, tighter string pattern and softer frame, the new Pure Strike brings unrivalled control to your game. You can fully engage with the ball and take control of the game.

The headsize at 97 square inches brings a higher level of control potential due to it's tighter but more challenging sweetspot. It's heavier than average weight at 10.9 ounces (unstrung) will provide good stability and power generation on big swings for those who can swing it consistently over the course of a match. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys. The frame's flexibility is high due to it's thin beam which allows for a greater degree of control and comfort overall. The leather grip comes pre-installed to provide you with the most precise feedback possible from the frame.

Babolat's update to the Pure Strike series has enhanced what sets them apart from their other racquets. With additional flex and an enhanced string pattern, these racquets will deliver on control in various configurations that match the particulars of your game. This version of the Pure Strike brings the most control potential for stronger advanced players with precise swings.

  • Head Size: 97 sq. inches / 626 sq. cm
  • Length: 27 inches / 68.58 cm
  • Weight: 10.9 oz / 310g unstrung
  • Balance: 10 pts head light / 310mm unstrung
  • Swing Weight: 322
  • Beam width: 21mm / 22mm / 21mm
  • Flex: 67
  • Tension Range: 48-57 lbs / 22-26 kg
  • String Pattern: 16/20
  • Style #: 101531
  • NF²-TECH: The addition of natural flax fibers provides optimal vibration filtration at the racket's handle for the ultimate feel upon impact. Flax also generates a muted sound for an even more controlled feel.
  • FSI CONTROL PURE STRIKE 24: Frame String Interaction Control is a technology that combines a tighter string pattern (for more control) with the Woofer system (which increases contact time between the ball and the strings for more feel).
  • CONTROL FRAME TECHNOLOGY: This technology, developed for maximum control, combines the stability of a square frame with the dynamism of a standard elliptical frame.

How to select your grip size
8 things to consider when choosing a racquet
Understanding tennis racquet specifications

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
