![]() ![]() I know this is odd, but I have found that temperature and humidity up here in Canadian indoor bubble changes how the string plays. I have tried loads of string set ups and currently am using RPM Blast Rough on three frames and Hyper-G on two frames, all at 54 pounds. The crisp feeling from the baseline and serving outweighs my slight struggle at the net on reflex volleys. After my tennis shop balanced and added a bit of lead here and there, I absolutely love them. I bought five of them and all were slightly different in swingweights. Thanks Tennis Only!Ĭomments: I echo all the positive comments for this frame. I play mostly doubles.Ĭomments: I wanted a weighty racquet with power, spin, and accuracy and the Pure Strike 3rd Gen Tour was just that. I have been playing with it for about a month now, and am still very much in love with it. The weight is comfortable and grants me enough stability to return confidently. I play at a 4.5 level and plan on moving up to 5.0.įrom: Selles, Bradenton, Florida, 17/12/21Ĭomments: I am a beginner, but I demoed several racquets before settling on this one. I hope Babolat keeps making this racquet for a long time. I can hit all the spin I need with this racquet. I also added 8 total grams of lead tape at 2 and 10 o'clock and an overgrip. I use Tecnifibre Razor Code Carbon polyester 18 gauge main strings with a softer 18 gauge polyester cross string called Babolat Pro Hurricane (Babolat stopped making pro hurricane 18, but I'm hoping Tennis Warehouse convinces them to bring it back because it's great in this hybrid setup). Thank you.Ĭomments: Great racquet for slice backhands and semi-western forehands. I returned it and Tennis Only sent a new one. Only downside has been reflex volleys feel a bit sluggish in doubles.Ĭomments: Received racquet for my grandson. I think TW may have had some under-spec racquets with their 334 SW. My 2 Tours have a swingweight of 343 and 345 with a static weight of roughly 345 grams and a 32.6cm balance when strung with 1.20 cyclone and rubber band dampener. ![]() The swing weight listed on the marketing card supplied with the racquet took me by surprise at 315 unstrung. This Gen 3 Strike Tour has been a great replacement, more head heavy and more power, but less whip. Ultimately, with some impressive tweaks to the feel, the Pure Strike 100 remains a great option for the player who wants a light player's racquet with easy targeting on full swings.Ĭomments: Had come from the Babolat Pure Storm Tours and the original Pure Aero VS Tour. This racquet also shines on service returns where it is versatile enough to block first serves deep or punish second serves. Aggressive servers will find enough spin, precision and power to force weak replies. At net, the Pure Strike 100 comes around fast to deliver good touch, above average stability for its weight class and decent pop on punch volleys. ![]() Boasting a higher swingweight than the previous generation, this update does a slightly better job absorbing and redirecting pace, but it's still speedy enough for whipping up effective spin. Although not as powerful as the Pure Drive or Pure Aero, the Pure Strike 100 packs enough pop to penetrate the back court, and it has the needed pocketing and touch for crafting droppers and sharp angles. On groundstrokes, this stick feels fast, crisp and accurate. New to this frame is C 2 Pure Feel, a material technology that combines cortex with a uniquely flexible viscoelastic rubber at 3/9 o'clock for added comfort and dwell time. This racquet also has FSI Power technology which features wider spacing between the upper cross strings for easier access to spin and pace. Like the previous generation, it has a hybrid frame construction (called Control Frame Technology), which blends the control and feel of square beam with the speed and dynamism of a modern elliptical beam. At approximately 300 grams (unstrung) and boasting a 319-RDC swingweight, the Pure Strike 100 strikes the right balance between speed and stability. Introducing the third generation of the Pure Strike 100, a light player's racquet that combines moderate power and spin-friendly precision with good feel. ![]()
