Babolat Pure Strike 18x20 Racquet (3/8)

The new Pure Strike 18x20 is for advanced striker players who speed up the ball & need responsiveness to increase their precision. An optimized string pattern with wider spacing of the crosses provides more power, while Hybrid Frame Technology gives you the unique combination of power and control. Wider beam sections in the throat and at 3/9/12 o’clock enhances precision and increases stability at ball impact. String pattern 18/20 will increase the control. More powerful than the previous Pure Strike (2017), this racquet has a rather rigid frame that will not move much at impact. That will provide very lively but controlled strokes. The headsize of 98 sq. in. adds precision and maneuverability, particularly at the net and at the service line. The well balanced 305g allow the player to feel real stability when hitting the ball, which will promote control without making any compromises on power and ball speed. Finally, the string pattern 18 x 20 adds another layer of precision and control. This racquet is used on the professional tours by Dominic Thiem (Austria) and Alizé Cornet (France) - in the 16x19 string pattern version.
