Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 USA Tennis Racquet (3rd Gen) (Model #101423-331)

Celebrate the Red, White and Blue with the Pure Strike 16x19 USA tennis racquet from Babolat's new Flag Range of rackets.

The Babolat Pure Strike 3rd Gen 16x19 tennis racquet offers the ideal balance of both response and precision for one's attacking baseline style of game - just like Dominic Thiem. The new Babolat Pure Strike range displays 2 major cutting-edge technologies: C² PURE FEEL powered by SMAC, for a cutting-edge feel and CONTROL FRAME TECHNOLOGY for unrivaled control and stability. Powered by SMAC, C2 PureFeel is the latest generation of the Pure Feel technology, a cutting-edge vibration filtration lay-up system that brings a pure feel on every shot. Control Frame Technology was developed to ensure maximum control, this technology combines the stability of a square beam frame with the dynamism of a regular elliptic structure.

The Pure Strike 3rd Gen 16x19 has a 21.3/23.3/21.3mm tapered beam and a 98 square inch headsize. It is ideal for 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 11.3 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 with heavy topspin when necessary.

Suited for players with full strokes.
