Technology

FSI CONTROL PURE STRIKE 24

Exceptional feel

Frame String Interaction Control (FSI) 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).

NF² - Tech

Optimal vibration filtration

Natural flax fibers within the frame provides optimal vibration filtration at the racket's handle for the ultimate feel upon impact. Sound is also muted for an even more controlled feel.

SWX Pure Feel

Increased feel & sound on impact

---

Made with SMAC technology, the viscoelastic material is integrated into the composition of the racket resulting in a revolutionary anti-vibration system that increases the feel and sound upon impact.

Control Frame Technology

Stable and Dynamic

---

Developed for maximum control, Control Frame Technology combines the stability of a square frame with the dynamism of a standard elliptical frame.

Babolat Pure Strike Rackets Range

The Babolat Pure Strike tennis rackets have been designed for players who prioritise control and precision in their game. Pure Strike rackets typically feature a midsized head, with a smaller head size, this creates a sweeter spot that's not overly large, allowing for more precise shot placement.

The Babolat Pure Strike variations explained :

• Pure Strike Tour: Weight 320g, 98 sq.in head size, a relatively high weight for a performance racket. It provides stability for powerful strokes and better control, but it might require a developed swing technique and strength to handle effectively.
• Pure Strike 97: Weight 310g, 97 sq.in head size, a performance-oriented option designed for advanced players who prioritise ultimate control and precision on their shots.
• Pure Strike 98 16/19: Weight 305g, 98 sq.in head size, performance-oriented tennis racket designed for advanced players who prioritise control and precision with their shots. This size offers a good balance between power and control.
• Pure Strike 98 18/20: Weight 305g, 98 sq.in head size, denser string pattern spaces the strings closer together, compared to the 16/19 version. This enhances control even further, allowing for pinpoint shot placement and minimizing ball deflection on impact.
• Pure Strike 100 16/20: Weight 300g, 100 sq.in head size, designed for aggressive intermediate and advanced players who prioritise control and precision with their shots, while still seeking a slightly larger head size for more forgiveness compared to the 98 sq. in. 
• Pure Strike 100 16/19: Weight 300g, 100 sq.in head size, lighter weight and potentially more forgiving flex could make this racket suitable for intermediate players who are transitioning from beginner rackets and want a more performance-oriented option.
• Pure Strike Team: Weight 285g, 100 sq.in head size, this size offers a good compromise between power and control. A lightweight racket, makes it easier to manoeuvre and potentially more forgiving on the arm, which can benefit intermediate players developing their strength.
• Pure Strike Lite: Weight 265g, 100 sq.in head size, designed for ambitious beginners and intermediate players who want a lightweight, control-oriented option to develop their game.

New for 2024, there is the classic Pure Strike 97 for those that really love a thin beam, small head size (97) and slightly heavier weight (310g). This model also comes as a matched pair, which is factory matched with exactly the same stats for both rackets.
