It was launched nearly a whole year ago to professional players such as Dominic Thiem, called #ProjectOne7. Tennis players around the world have been long awaiting this racket. With their crisp white finish, these racquets look stylish and really stand out as they are different to any other on the market. These new for 2018 Babolat tennis rackets are the ideal balance between the Pure Control (that offers all control) and the power range of the Pure Aero & Pure Drive range by offering response & precision. (However, it's important to know that they're significantly different from the Babolat Pure Strike VS racquets.New Babolat Pure Strike 100 Tennis Racket 2018 (300g) But in general I think the Babolat Pure Strikes have a nice blend of attributes that will fit a wide variety of players. There are much better arm-friendly options out there for people looking for a comfortable response. I agree with that in general, but it's definitely not the racquet I would recommend for someone who has had arm issues in the past. Also, a softer poly like Solinco Tour Bite Soft or Luxilon 4G Soft might reduce the shock to the joints quite a bit.īut despite the firm (which some call “crisp) feel, almost all the reviews will tell you that the new Babolat Pure Strike is a great option for the aggressive baseliner in both 16×19 and 18×20 patterns. I think this is racquet that you either need to drop string tension quite a bit (I usually string around 22 kg but in the Pure Strike I might go even lower with the Solinco Hyper G – click to read my review) or try a hybrid of natural gut and co-poly such as the Wilson Champions Choice or the Babolat RPM Blast + VS which are both top-of-the line string sets if you want both feel and spin. I had the chance to test the Babolat Pure Strike 16×19 and I must say it was a big improvement over the “boardy” Darth Maul version, but if you're using a co-poly string it can be quite firm on tender joints. The reviews of the new Babolat Pure Strike has been glowing from the usual retailers such as Tennis Warehouse and Tennis Express, but some players have expressed concerns over stiffness. The VS line replaces the Babolat Pure Control line so I guess they're trying to reduce the number of paint jobs and racquet lines on the market.

I wonder how consumers will be able to keep all these different Pure Strike models apart to be honest.

Babolat has finally released a few more versions to the Babolat Pure Strike line with the Babolat Pure Strike 18×20, the Babolat Pure Strike VS and the Babolat Pure Strike VS Tour.
