Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Babolat Pure Strike 97 Gen4 is an unstrung tennis racket tailored for advanced, high-performance players who want precise control, stability and a smooth, connected feel. A refined 16x20 string pattern, a smaller 97 in² head and a metallic carbon grey finish make it as sharp in performance as it is in looks.
Key Features
- 97 in² head and 16x20 string pattern – maximum precision and directional control.
- Player-focused feel – a slightly thinner beam and flexible frame give refined touch and feedback.
- Pro-level balance – 310g weight and 10 pts HL balance suit experienced players who generate their own power.
- Metallic carbon grey finish – a sophisticated look to match its high-end performance.
Performance Overview
For the player who wants to land that backhand down the line, the Pure Strike 97 Gen4 turns intent into execution. The compact head and dense 16x20 pattern keep the ball on a tight line, while the 310g weight and head-light balance give stability without slowing the racket through the hitting zone.
Note: Babolat team pro players may use customised versions of this racquet.
Who Is It For?
Advanced players who thrive on precision and feel and generate their own pace.
