2017 Babolat Pure Strike Team 100inch 16*19 285g

As a modern control racquet, its construction emphasizes its intended style of play. 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 285 g, the frame favors maneuverability. 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.
