[IN-STORE ONLY] Babolat Pure Aero 98 2026 Tennis Racket Unstrung - Grey/Yellow

The Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026) is the more controlled, precision-focused version of the Pure Aero tennis racket. A 98 in² head and tighter 16x20 string pattern add accuracy while keeping the spin that defines the Aero range. This Gen 9 update refines feel, aerodynamics and responsiveness for aggressive players who swing fast and strike early.

Note: This product is available for in-store purchase only.

Key Features

• Reworked aerodynamic frame (new for 2026) – reduced drag (~6%) for faster racket-head acceleration.
• NF²-Tech flax fibres (new for 2026) – improved vibration absorption and a cleaner impact feel.
• Refined spin and control balance (new for 2026) – keeps the spin DNA while sharpening directional precision.
• FSI Spin Technology – optimised string spacing plus the Woofer System increase dwell time and spin potential.
• Aeromodular design – better airflow for acceleration and shot penetration.
• Graphite construction – a stable, responsive feel against heavy pace.

Performance Overview

Compared with the 100 in² Pure Aero, the 98 version gives:

• Greater directional control
• Tighter trajectory management
• A more predictable response on full swings
• Strong spin potential for advanced hitters

The 305g unstrung weight adds stability, making it a good fit for players who generate their own power and attack from the baseline. Our staff verdict: a more surgical take on the Pure Aero that rewards full, aggressive swings with heavy topspin and better directional accuracy.

Endorsed by Carlos Alcaraz, known for his explosive topspin and aggressive court positioning.

Advanced baseliners with fast swing speeds who want spin and control in one frame.
