Babolat Pure Strike 98 (16x19) 4th Generation Tennis Racket - Metallic Grey

The Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19 4th Generation is a control focused tennis racket built for aggressive players with long, fast swings. It suits strong intermediate to advanced competitors and is designed for match play where precision under pressure matters.

Now available in a metallic grey finish, this model carries the same performance technologies as the 4th Generation Pure Strike range.

Control for Aggressive Baseline Players

With a 98 square inch head and 16x19 string pattern, this racket balances control with accessible spin. The tighter head size rewards clean ball striking, while the open pattern helps generate rotation when driving heavy groundstrokes.

For players who swing fully at the ball, the Pure Strike 98 delivers predictable response. That consistency is critical in tight third set moments when depth and direction must be exact.

This is not an entry level frame. It is built for players who create their own pace and want a racket that keeps up.

Feel and Feedback You Can Trust

The 4th Generation Pure Strike technologies are designed to provide enhanced feel and connection at impact. You get clear feedback on contact, which supports better shot selection and control on both baseline exchanges and net play.

The frame profile supports stability against heavy incoming pace. That helps when returning strong serves or redirecting fast rallies.

The metallic grey cosmetic gives it a clean, understated look without changing performance.
