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 racket is designed for intermediate and advanced players who crave controllable power and great feel. Featuring more spin potential than its 18x20 counterpart, this racket'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 racket 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 racket 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 racket with controllable power and great feel.
