Boasting the thinnest beam and most compact head in the Pure Strike family, this racquet delivers mindless accuracy on full cuts. It also moves extremely fast for its weight, making it great for whipping up spin, hitting shots on the run or reacting quickly at net. Compared to the previous generation, this update offers better pocketing along with a more plush feel off-center, especially in the upper hoop where the previous gen was a tad brassy. The Pure Strike 97 also comes with FSI Control technology, which tightens the string spacing for an even more precise and predictable trajectory. To help with comfort, Babolat adds NF² Tech which uses flax inserts in the shaft to help dampen harsh impact vibrations. Like the previous generation, this frame benefits from Control Frame Technology, which blends square and elliptical cross sections to deliver a stable hitting experience with excellent ball feedback. Ultimately, this racquet continues to be an obvious option for experienced players who want a speedy modern player's racquet with surgical targeting and great feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"specTable\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"headsize\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eHeadsize: 97 sq. in.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"weight-unstrung\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eWeight Unstrung: 310g\/(10.9 oz.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"weight-strung\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eWeight Strung: 325g\/(11.4 oz.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"length\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eLength: \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e27\"\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"string-pattern\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eString Pattern: 16 x 20\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"stiffness-flex\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eStiffness\/Flex: 67\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"beam-width\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eBeam Width: 21mm \/ 22mm \/ 21mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"balance\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eBalance: 31cm\/(12.2 in.) - 7 Pts Head Light\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"swing-weight\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eSwing Weight: 321\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"power-level\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003ePower Level: Low\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"swing-speed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eSwing Speed: Fast\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"swing-type\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eSwing Type: Medium-Full\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"racquet-player-type\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eRacquet\/Player Type: Advanced\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"composition-construction\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eComposition\/Construction: Graphite\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"grip-type\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eGrip Type: Babolat Leather Grip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"colors\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eColors: Grey\/ Neon red \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"recommended-string-tension\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eRecommended String Tension: 48-57 lbs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-group=\"misc\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"name\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\"\u003eMisc: No Cover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Babolat","offers":[{"title":"4 1\/4\"","offer_id":46172888465580,"sku":"228725","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 3\/8\"","offer_id":46135121084588,"sku":"228726","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/4763\/8188\/files\/101574-PS_97_CARBON_GREY-3018-1-Face.avif?v=1776109113","url":"https:\/\/susponsuperstore.shop\/products\/babolat-pure-strike-97-gen4-tennis-racquet","provider":"Courtside Tennis \u0026 Pickleball","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
