CONTROL: Want to hit the ball with confidence? The Babolat Pure Strike 97 Tennis Racquet (4th Gen) is specially designed to give you even more control with every stroke. With its hybrid beam, tighter string pattern and softer frame, it gives you unrivalled control. You can fully engage with the ball and take control of the game. With this racquet, you're sure to develop and vary your game to outclass your opponent! FEEL: Do you like to feel the connection between your hands and your racquet at the moment of impact? Like an extension of your arm, the Pure Strike will give you pure feel because of strategically placed flax fibers (in the handle). These natural flax fibers filter out unwanted vibrations and create a softer sound at impact. TECHNOLOGY: Control Frame Technology for maximum control, combines the stability of a square-section frame with the power of a standard elliptical frame structure. FSI Control combines a tighter string pattern with the Woofer system, which increases contact time between the ball and the string for more feel. NF2 Tech is the addition of natural flax fibers to provide optimal vibration filtration for extreme feel at impact. It also generates a muted sound, for an even more controlled feel.
