Sharp Control. Explosive Spin
The Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19 (Gen 4) is the benchmark model of Babolat's control franchise, meticulously engineered for intermediate, advanced, and aggressive baseline players. Known among competitive hitters as the ultimate "power 98," this iteration addresses feedback from previous generations by delivering a significantly plusher, more stable hitting sensation. It introduces state-of-the-art NF²-Tech, weaving organic flax fibers into the handle to absorb harsh vibrations while preserving direct ball feedback. Built with a unique Control Frame Technology beam that merges a flexible square structure with an energetic elliptical layout, this 305g unstrung weapon provides elite torsional stability and exceptional plow-through, allowing you to take massive cuts at the ball with total targeting confidence.
Key Features
- FSI Control String Grid: Progressively tighter central 16x19 string spacing maximizes precision and touch while retaining excellent spin potential and a lively ball launch.
- NF²-Tech Flax Inserts: Natural flax fiber filtering inside the handle actively dampens high-frequency shock to heavily protect your wrist and elbow.
- Control Frame Engineering: Hybrid cross-section layout blends box-beam control with an elliptical power profile for elite structural stability.
- Exceptional Baseline Drive: Enhanced swingweight provides heavy mass behind the ball, making it incredibly stable when absorbing or redirecting high pace.
- Dominant Serving Power: Open string pattern bites the ball intensely to generate fierce slice, heavy kick serves, and lethal flat drives down the T.
- Pure Strike Identity: Finished in a striking, modern matte white cosmetic accented by signature bold fluorescent red and carbon gray graphics.
