The Babolat Pure Aero 98 (2026) is the most precise tennis racket in the Pure Aero family – and this listing includes two racquets (X2 bundle). With the smallest head size, tightest string pattern and thinnest beam in the Aero range, it gives a high level of control while keeping the spin the series is known for.
Note: This product is available for in-store purchase only.
What’s New for 2026?
- Re-engineered shaft geometry – reduced wind drag for faster acceleration and easier spin generation.
- Updated NF² Tech (flax fibres) – improved vibration dampening for a softer, more arm-friendly feel.
- More explosive response – a faster response while keeping the control-focused Aero character.
Key Features
- FSI Spin Technology – Woofer system + Spin Grommets increase dwell time and string movement for more spin and bite.
- Aeromodular frame design – an optimised beam structure improves racket-head speed.
- Precision 98 head – a smaller head and tighter 16x20 pattern for directional accuracy.
- Sub-325 swingweight feel – fast yet manoeuvrable for aggressive shot-making.
