![]() ![]() The racquet is flexible for greater ball feel due to the increased dwell time of the ball on the string bed and the flex enhances overall comfort. The very head-light balance compliments and further enhances the manoeuvrability factor. The weight is on the heavier side thereby providing excellent stability and drive on bigger swings but it isn't quite as heavy as some racquets in this class can get and so it maintains great manoeuvrability for easier spin potential and overall handling over the course of a match. The 97 square inch headsize is slightly smaller than the other Pure Strikes, therefore enhancing the tight control and ball feel that the Pure Strikes are known for. Great job on that Babolat, but please do better on the QC lol.The Pure Strike VS is a racquet designed for precision and control over the ball suitable for improving intermediates to experienced players who need a racquet to work with a strong game. This racquet should not be for any players under 4.0/4.5 as it's an unforgiving racquet, but overall great feeling racquet with spin and control. but the 310gram supposed stock weight is perfect for customization. I did have some lead tape at 12 o'clock to increase swing weight and help me a little with power.īabolat QC has always been pretty bad.mine came in at 314 grams unstrung. Solid on the volleys too- no issue with vibrations or stability (in my case). The 97 sq inch gives me a better feeling when coming through my one handed backhand and when you hit the sweet spot on the forehand, it feels amazing. For me it's like point and shoot when I have the opportunity and it can also produce good spin with the 16x20 string pattern. Very comfortable racquet to use, gives decent power depending on your stringing set up and your technique. ![]() Great players racquet Previous racquet : Tecnifibre TFight 305. I would not recommend this for club players. My guess is that the target buyer of these sticks is a picky player that is apt to make modifications anyway, so it fits its role. With a little patience, these can be dialed in to provide one of the most satisfying hitting experiences ever. Queue the tungsten tape and modification tools (e.g., digital scale, balance board, swing weight machine, and the Racquet Modification app from TW University). The good news is that with a light spec and being on the light side of spec, the racquets can be fixed gracefully. For example, my first one came in at the proper weight, but the balance was 4 points more headlight than spec'd, and the swing weight was 20 kg-cm2 below spec. It's gorgeous.ġ) If made to spec, they need more weight in the head to satisfy advance player preferences.Ģ) I have yet to find one that's on spec. As an aside, when it is sitting on the shelf, it is the best looking racquet I've encountered in ~30 years:). However, it's not close to usable in off-the-shelf form. I thoroughly enjoy it's feel, comfort, and spin potential (good, but not exaggerated like a Pure Aero). Great advanced players This racquet is a bit of an enigma. The fact that it provides extremely accurate targeting on your biggest swings is a nice bonus. Ultimately though, the Pure Strike VS does not put a lot of technology between player and ball, giving it the connected feel that many advanced player's crave. Additional features include Control Frame Technology, which adds flexibility to shaft in order to create a more stable and controlled response. ![]() Although the feel in the upper hoop is quite firm in stock form, this is easily corrected with softer strings, lower tensions and/or weight strips north of the 3/9 axis. Babolat has also widened the beam at 3/9 o'clock for added torsional stability. For 2022 Babolat updates the Pure Strike VS with a leather grip, giving it a more classic feel with greater ball feedback. Although this is one of the heavier models in the Pure Strike franchise the head light balance keeps it fast, making it great for whipping up spin, flicking shots on the run or staying active at net. As such, it offers outstanding command over the ball. The Pure Strike VS returns ! Updated with a more stable beam construction, the Pure Strike VS offers the most compact and surgical head size in the Pure Strike family. ![]()
