2014 Babolat Pure Strike 100 100inch 16*19 290g

This model falls under the modern control segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 100 in² head size boosts forgiveness and sweet spot size. A stiffness rating of 68 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 290 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 16x19 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 60/100 for power, 100/100 for spin, and 80/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Comfort levels are above average, supporting longer hitting sessions. It is best suited for intermediate players.

User comments for racquets with similar specifications highlight predictable on-court characteristics. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. Comfort is generally viewed as a positive, particularly for longer sessions. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
