Babolat Pure Strike 100 Tennis Racquet (Model #101284-149)

BABOLAT PURE STRIKE 100 PERFORMANCE TENNIS RACKET - THE BEST RACQUETS FOR SPIN, COMFORT, AND CONTROL

The Babolat Pure Strike 100 tennis racquet offers the ideal balance of both response and precision for one's attacking baseline style of game - just like Timea Bacsinszky. It has square & elliptical hybrid frame construction and features a slightly thicker beam than its predecessor, which provides for a more powerful and stable racquet. Babolat's new FSI Power technology now gives this updated Pure Strike 100 a wider string pattern in the crosses, allowing for more spin, power and comfortability.

The Pure Strike 100 has a 21.3/23.3/21.3mm tapered beam and a 100 square inch headsize. It is ideal for intermediate to advanced players, especially for those looking for a control-minded frame without sacrificing swing speed. It separates itself from the popular Pure Drive line because of its thinner beam, which makes it slightly less powerful and geared towards players really looking to hit out on the ball, and the frame is also not as stiff as the Pure Drive, which helps with ball feel and arm issues. It's a powerful weapon in the hands of a count technician who can hit winners with ease, yet plays the game like they're on a chess board.

The 11.1 ounce weight gives it enough plow-through on off-centered shots so that the trajectory of the ball is still predictable, while the 4 point head light balance and the 16x19 spin-friendly string pattern help with players looking for deep, penetrating ground strokes.

Suited for players with full strokes.

Pure Strike Technologies:

WIDER CROSS STRINGS WITH DIAMOND SHAPED GROMMET HOLES: The wider spacing between cross strings allows for more snapback, and thus, increased power. The revolutionary diamond shape of the grommet holes allows for an increased range of string movement. This results in more power and comfort.

HYBRID FRAME TECHNOLOGY: The frame is a combination of elliptical and square shapes placed at strategic locations in order to increase ball feel, energy return from frame to ball, and added control.
