2014 Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 98inch 18*20 305g

This model falls under the control segment, shaping how it delivers power, control, and feel on court. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 70 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 305 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 18x20 string pattern (dense) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 40/100 for power, 60/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. It is best suited for intermediate advanced players.

Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate advanced players.
