Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Babolat Pure Strike 100 is a control-first frame for intermediate and advanced players who want a crisp, precise feel without giving up spin. At 300g unstrung with a 100 sq in head, it sits in the sweet spot between the raw control of a smaller head and the forgiveness a club player still needs. Supplied unstrung so you can set it up your own way.
Key Features
- C2 Pure Feel technology — vibration damping built into the frame for a cleaner sound and feel at impact.
- Control Frame technology — a square beam for stability paired with an elliptical section for speed.
- 16x19 string pattern — an open pattern that balances spin against control.
- 100 sq in head — control-oriented without being punishing on a mishit.
- 300g unstrung — enough mass to hold a heavy ball, light enough to be quick in hand.
- Supplied unstrung — choose your own string and tension from the outset.
Performance Overview
The Pure Strike is Babolat's precision line, and the 100 is the version that keeps a usable margin for error. The 21-23-21mm beam is thin by modern standards, which is what gives it that direct, connected feel on contact — you know exactly where the ball met the strings. The 320mm balance keeps it manoeuvrable enough for quick hands at the net while still driving through the ball on a full groundstroke.
Benefits
Players who have outgrown a forgiving power frame get accuracy they can trust: the ball goes where you aimed it, and the C2 damping means the crisp feel does not come with a harsh shock through the arm. Buying unstrung lets you match string and tension to your game rather than accepting a factory setup you would replace anyway.
