Babolat's control-first line, positioned between the Pure Drive and Pure Aero on the power spectrum. A thinner beam than either of its siblings gives the Pure Strike a more direct, connected feel, and the 100 sq in head adds forgiveness over the smaller 98 and 97 versions without giving up the control this line is known for. A sub-325 swingweight keeps it easy to swing despite the added stability.

Technology
FSI Control — Tighter string spacing combined with a built-in Woofer grommet system that increases dwell time at contact for a more precise, predictable string bed response. The control-focused counterpart to FSI Spin and FSI Power.
Control Frame Technology — A beam cross-section that blends square and elliptical profiles, delivering frame stability and direct ball feedback on full cuts.
SWX Pure Feel — A SMAC-derived viscoelastic material embedded in the mid-section of the frame that absorbs low-frequency vibrations while preserving the feel of ball contact.
NF² Tech — Unidirectional natural flax fiber inserts placed in the shaft to dampen harsh vibrations, particularly on off-center hits, for a more arm-friendly feel during long sessions.
