Babolat Pure Strike 18 x 20 ( 4 3/8 ) 2025 Tennis Racquet


Babolat adds a sleek grey color to its most control oriented racquet

Featuring the same specs and playability as the standard white version, the Pure Strike 98 18x20 Carbon Grey is defined by its dense string pattern and laser-like trajectory, making it great for driving the ball through the court. It also packs a 332 swingweight, which gives it excellent stability against heavy hitters while also rewarding strong players with enough mass-based pop to impose their will. 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 puts 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, the Pure Strike 98 18x20 Carbon Grey is perfect for experienced players looking for stability and surgical control.
