The new Pure Strike 16x19 is for advanced striker players who speed up the ball & need responsiveness to increase their precision. An optimized string pattern with wider spacing of the crosses provides more power, while Hybrid Frame Technology gives you the unique combination of power and control. Wider beam sections in the throat and at 3/9/12 o’clock enhances precision and increases stability at ball impact. More powerful than the previous Pure Strike (2017), this racquet has a rather rigid frame that will not move much at impact. That will provide very lively but controlled strokes. The headsize of 98 sq. in. adds precision and maneuverability, particularly at the net and at the service line. The well balanced 305g allow the player to feel real stability when hitting the ball, which will promote control without making any compromises on power and ball speed. Finally, the string pattern 16 x 19 is the perfect balance between power, control and spin potential. This racquet is used on the professional tours by Dominic Thiem (Austria) and Alizé Cornet (France).

I'm a 3.5 player who was away from the game for a number of years before returning to it. I used to play with a Pro Staff, so I started back with the black (non-CounterVail) Pro Staff. But the Pro Staff started to feel a little bit too flexible -- not much room for error on shots not struck quite right. I was looking for a happy medium. I tried the Pure Aero but didn't like it. I'm 6'4" 200 and a former football player, and powerful rackets just give me no control.This was just about what I hoped for: It's definitely not as much power as the Aero, but has a bigger sweet spot than the Pro Staff and is a great defensive racket if you like to wear down opponents. I haven't quite found the touch with it for drop shots, etc., after a couple of matches, but that may ... MoreI'm a 3.5 player who was away from the game for a number of years before returning to it.

I have it strung with RPM Blast 17, and I may experiment with other strings if I decide I want more power in the future.

The racket is wonderful at the net for volleying, especially in doubles play! As a senior, the racquet can get heavy and often I will switch it up for a Babolat Pure Drive.
Very arm friendly and super control, very maneuverable, it's like a cheat code !i have played with yonex vcore duel g 330 and babolat pure aero tour but i find this to suit me the most esp. if you have arm issues else you may go for previous version of this as well.
This is a great racquet if you're in-between a Pure Drive and a Wilson Blade. It's certainly a control racquet, but definitely gives some power too.One knock on this racquet is the paint seems to chip off the frame pretty easily.
Delivery time to Australia is quite fast.No damages and faults.Very satisfied !!!
Very impressed with this racket. Since the mains are closer together in the center in that region the racket feels like a 18 X 19 string pattern. The wght balance and flexibility feels very similar to the Technifibre 305 which I also like.
I bought this racquet strung with hybrid Excel 16 and RPM power 17 strings. It came with a static weight of 330 grams, measured on a postal scale. This is 7 or 8 grams heavier than specifications from Babolat. Most of this extra, off spec weight was tilted towards the head, giving it a more a head heavy balance than factory specs.The higher weight and off spec head heavy balance make the swing weight quite high (I estimate over 340). You need to be an advanced player who normally uses heavy swing weights to enjoy this. If you are an intermediate or advanced player who likes whippy racquets with swing weights below 330, you will struggle and be late in the timing of your strokes.I have also have the same racquet, but the previous version (project one 7), and off ... MoreI bought this racquet strung with hybrid Excel 16 and RPM power 17 strings.

It is solid, has power, spin, control, and it is feels less stiff than the previous version. However, the feel is more dampened.I have heard from other players similar complaints about unacceptable variances in weight and balance from Babolat. I am not sure how you can minimize this unless you ask the racquet to be weighed and have its balance checked before you buy it.
Taking some getting used to (came from Pure Drive) - might end up changing the strings but enjoying it so far.
