Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19 Carbon Grey Racquet

A sleek new grey cosmetic joins the Pure Strike 98 lineup, but the performance you love stays the same. Built for intermediate and advanced players chasing controllable power with exceptional feel, this is a serious tool for serious games.

The 16x19 string pattern gives you more spin potential than its 18x20 sibling, opening up your shot-making with easier access to sharper angles and varied trajectories. A 330 swingweight keeps things stable through fast exchanges while adding real punch on your full swings.

New for this release, Babolat's FSI Control technology tightens up the string spacing for a more precise, predictable ball flight, so you can commit to your shots with confidence. On the comfort side, NF2-Tech flax fibers in the shaft smooth out unwanted vibration, while the head stays free of dampening materials, so you keep that crisp, direct feedback on contact. Control Frame Technology rounds it out, blending square and elliptical cross sections for added stability without sacrificing feel.

Bottom line: The Pure Strike 98 16x19 Carbon Grey is built for experienced players who want a stable frame, controllable power, and feel they can trust, now in a fresh, understated colorway.
