Updated with a new dampening technology for 2024

Babolat adds another chapter to the Pure Strike 98 16x19! Like previous generations, this update is made for players who want a control-oriented racquet that has enough pop to finish points. It also has more spin potential than its 18x20 counterpart, making it easier to execute the full range of angles and trajectories. Other specs include a 330 swingweight, which not only keeps the racquet stable against higher levels of pace but also translates into impressive power on full cuts. For this update, Babolat adds FSI Control technology, which features tighter string spacing for an even more precise and predictable trajectory. To help with comfort, Babolat updates this racquet with NF2-Tech (flax fibers) in the shaft while keeping the head free of dampening agents to provide more direct ball feedback. As with previous generations, this frame benefits from Control Frame Technology, which blends square and elliptical cross sections to enhance stability and ball feedback. Ultimately, with subtle updates to the feel, the Pure Strike 98 16x19 remains a great option for experienced players looking for a stable racquet with controllable power and great feel.

Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 2024Amazing frame. One of the best 98 racquets I've hit with in a long time. Strung it up with Wilson Revolve Spin 1.30mm at 52 pounds and it played amazing. I'll be using this frame for a long time. I was using the Dunlop CX200 which is is a really good frame but needed just that extra pop which I now get with the Strike.

Made the switchI love my Wilson Pro Staff 97 v13, but I felt like I hit a plateau and wanted a new frame to help work on other areas of my tennis. After hitting with this racquet, I decided to make the switch (and installed a leather grip)! This frame felt very forgiving for its specs and I love the balance of effortless power/spin and control that I had. For some very odd reason, the feel of this frame reminded me of the Babolat Drive Z Lite Cortex from 2009, except much more heft of course! I highly recommend giving this racquet a try, especially for those who want a large sweetspot and a lovely pop feel. I currently strung this racquet with Tecnifibre Black Code 17 gauge at 47lbs.
