Babolat adds another chapter to the most controlled and surgical member of the Pure Aero family. Formerly called the Pure Aero VS, the Pure Aero 98 gives big hitters a powerfully precise weapon. Compared to the standard Pure Aero, this racquet features a more compact head along with a denser string pattern and a thinner, more flexible beam. The payoff is extra control, which comes in handy on bigger cuts or when targeting the lines. That said, this stick still packs enough pop to put your opponent in check. For 2023, in addition to a more flexible beam, Babolat adds comfort with NF² Technology, which uses flax inserts in the handle and upper hoop to soften ball impact. Babolat also updates its FSI Spin technology with slightly tighter string spacing. The result is greater control (and confidence) when maximizing stroke speed in the service of power and spin. With some nice updates to the feel, the Pure Aero 98 continues to be a great option for those who want the spin and power of a modern player's racquet but could use a little extra control.

Needed a light racket (255g) with small grip (1). This absolutely fitted the bill. Apart from looking very nice, the frame is strong and sturdy. My son plays much more confidently now as it's his first full sized racket. Highly recommend this when you're thinking of the next step up as the kids grow. Babolat always has been good quality and it's our first Babolat racket - won't be the last.

I appreciate the tight string pattern. Really takes me back to my 2010 Aero Pro Drive. The only reason I'm not giving it a full 5/5 is because the raquet feel a little too light for me especially when I compare it to the 2019 Aero. Nothing a bit of lead tape can't fix.I'm not huge on the glossy paint job as an end note.

It is not like the previous aero pro drive. The designers of the racquet made it too soft while hitting the ball and that gives an awkward feel while hitting the ball and the flex is more. In previous versions like pure aero 2017 and 2016 we can turn the ball and feel the power of its impact but in this feeling the power is little less.
I already own a blade v8 and the clash v1 and I have to say the feel and control and I get out of the Pure Aero is something I have not experienced before. Am able to consistently hit crisp shots with good spin and swing openly without worrying of overshooting the baseline. This is one amazing racquet!
After playing with so many racquets , i finally settled on Pure Aero and i am quite happy with it . This racquet may not suit for every one however if you are good in hitting top spin , you cannot go past this racquet . Bought a good price from Rebel and the customer service was awesome . Also this racquet comes fully strung with original recommended strings which is another bonus !!
This racquet feels like you are playing with a Tonka toy. The specs for this were not close to what is advertised. Does any one care about QC ? I think not, just more smoke and mirrors from Babolat
Excellent racquet. It plays like the original models from 10 years ago. Great balance, very clean smooth feel on contact. Easy power. I've been coaching with this racquet since it came out years ago.
65 year old advanced club player. "NO arm issues" after 3 hours of play; far better than the previous version which hurt after one hour! Spin friendly from the baseline, solid volleys, strong spin and moderate power for serves. I use RPM Blast at 53 pounds with 17 gauge. The racquet is far more muted (which I prefer) with less vibration. This racquet suits my playstyle as all around player with added spin. I had to add lead tape to give some pop and plowthrough because this racquet is average to light in weight for me. Finally I did not have to change my game to fit the racquet. In fact it compliments my game and let's face it: this looks like a work of art!
I have used alot of babolat rackets since i started playing, and own once of these and 2 different pure aeros, the rolland garros and the USA edition. This racket is sort of a more advanced version of those two, with a tighter string pattern, and less spin/power with more control. If you are a seasoned player, and are looking for more control, as you can generate your own power and spin, this racket is for you. If you are a beginner to intermediate, I would likely recommend the last gen of pure aero, as they are more forgiving and flexible. I am about a 7 UTR, and I love this racket for everything.
