Now, pure strike is more than just a racquet. In its starting, this one lacked in some comfort & a bit of practicality, but Babolat has kept renovating this weapon. Like its elder brother Pure Drive, this one is also updated frequently & several times since its first launch. Remember that Babolat Pure Drive Review we did just before this one? After reviewing the king of all of the best tennis rackets, we decided on the Babolat Pure Strike Review, another good guy. Every tennis enthusiast is fond of (or at least knows their brand) Babolat tennis racquets, including our editorial team. This is great racquet and merits being offered in an extended player's frame, akin to the Pure Storm Tour Plus and Pure Control, which I believe the Pure Strike is intended to replace.Babolat is one of the most established tennis sports manufacturers but completely unbeatable when it comes to the top tennis racquets. Babolat, if you a listening, please consider offering an extended Tour model. I liked it so much I will be playtesting a heavier version of it. I am a 5.0 player and immediately recognized it is something special. I hit with a fair amount of power and have been working on placement.Ĭomments: I bought this racquet for my 14 year old son, who loves it. I am an older 3.5 level player and usually play doubles. I strung it with gut in the mains at around 58 pounds and NXT on the crosses at 56 pounds. This racquet is perfect! Thank you Tennis Warehouse!Ĭomments: Absolute wonderful racquet, good power, and even better control. Other racquets have been too light, too heavy, to thick in the beam, unstable, or not that maneuverable. Strung at 58 pounds with Luxilon ALU Power Rough, it has a huge sweetspot, is very light and maneuverable, and enables me to crack aces. I am a 4.0 to 4.5 level player and after playtesting dozens of racquets, I have finally found the right one. Strongly recommend this racquet! Great opportunity for customization as well with relatively low weight.Ĭomments: My favorite racquet ever! I love everything about it.Ĭomments: Outstanding racquet. The best aspect is the control and precision - I have never been able to play such good angles and control depth so well. It has sufficient power for serves and groundstrokes, and gives you the confidence to swing out to create your own power/spin. It also has great feel with the right amount of dampening such that it is very comfortable, but you never lose connection with the ball. It is easy (and fun) to swing with sub 310 swingweight, yet feels remarkably solid for that number. This racquet strikes the perfect balance of speed, maneuverability and stability. One reservation is that outside the sweetspot can be a bit small, so I'm really learning to focus on hitting a center-string shot.Ĭomments: I am an improving 3.5 player with a counterpunching style. My tennis elbow has improved since I started using this racquet, yet I'm hitting harder. This was the best racquet of the six I tested. I recommend this racquet for aggressive baseliners and big servers.Ĭomments: Lightweight with surprising center-racquet power. Ultimately, this is a great option for those who want a light and user-friendly performance racquet with easy targeting from all areas of the court.Ĭomments: String this with something high spin like ALU Power or Solinco and there is nothing better. As with the heavier Pure Strike models, the Team has great touch for hitting malicious droppers or working the ball into tight spaces. The maneuverability continues on volleys and service returns where the Pure Strike Team glides into position with remarkable ease. It's also quite fast, making it great for scrambling on defense or cranking winners on the run. On groundstrokes, the Pure Strike Team feels crisp, spin-friendly and accurate, with very predictable results on full swings. New to this frame is C 2 Pure Feel, a material technology that combines cortex with a uniquely flexible viscoelastic rubber at 3/9 o'clock for added comfort and dwell time. This racquet also has FSI Power technology which features wider spacing between the upper cross strings for easier access to spin and pace. Like the previous generation, it has a hybrid frame construction (called Control Frame Technology), which blends the control and feel of square beam with the speed and dynamism of a modern elliptical beam. As the lightest and fastest member of the Pure Strike family, this 10.7 ounce racquet is ideal for the intermediate player who wants controllable power, easy access to spin and great feel. With the 3rd Generation of the Pure Strike Team, Babolat delivers a more dampened feel but keeps the outstanding playability of the previous generation.
