Babolat has introduced a new version of their popular Pure Strike 97 tennis racket (previously known as the Pure Strike VS). This racket stands out with its thin beam and compact head, providing exceptional accuracy and control on powerful shots. Not only that, but it also offers incredible manoeuvrability, allowing players to generate spin, quickly react at the net, and hit shots on the move with ease.

Compared to the previous generation, this updated version of the Pure Strike 97 offers improved feel and ball pocketing, particularly in the upper hoop where the previous model felt slightly harsh. The racquet also incorporates FSI Control technology, which tightens the string spacing for enhanced precision and predictability in shot trajectory.

To enhance comfort, Babolat has included NF² Tech, using flax inserts in the shaft to reduce vibrations and provide a smoother feel upon impact. Additionally, the racquet utilizes Control Frame Technology, which blends square and elliptical cross-sections for a stable and controlled hitting experience, while maintaining excellent ball feedback.

Overall, the Pure Strike 97 remains a popular choice for experienced players seeking a fast and modern racket that offers precise targeting and a satisfying feel.
