Description

Babolat's popular Pure Aero series, now in its 7th generation, has been updated with additional control and comfort where this model brings the most control of the series for high-performance competitors looking to swing hard and fast with high levels of spin and precision.

The headsize at 98 square inches provides a tighter sweet spot for increased control over the ball. The string pattern has a tighter feel allowing more string contact on the ball which further enhances your ability to control the ball while swinging even harder. The weight being heavier than average at 10.8 ounces (unstrung) enhances stability and stopping power for increased power potential, big return of serves and the ability to load up on spin for those who can swing it. Its head-light balance (unstrung) increases your ability to move the frame quickly, an important factor in generating power and spin as well as being conducive to fast movements at the net for game-changing volleys. The beam thickness enhances and optimizes the stability of the frame for greater energy transfer and power across the string-bed.

Babolat has added their new NF2 technology that uses flax inserts strategically located in the frame to allow for optimal shock absorption and enhanced playability. FSI Spin has been updated with tighter spacing between the strings for a greater degree of control potential.

The Pure Aero 98, used on tour by Félix Auger-Aliassime, is a racquet designed to maximize your potential as a player. This model brings the most control to the Pure Aero series from tweaks to the headsize, string pattern, balance and beam thickness. Advanced players looking to really push themselves and their opponents should look at this racquet.

Photos used contain images of strings for illustration purposes. Adult tennis racquets are unstrung unless otherwise noted or stringing services have been selected above. Brand logo stencils are not applied by default with stringing services. If you request brand logo stencils, please note that a stencil is painted onto the strings within a brand's stencil and may wear off over time - this is how stencils are applied on tour. Depending on the string you select, the stencil paint application fullness, colour and visibility may vary.
Adult racquets generally do not come with covers. To protect your racquet, we recommend getting a racquet bag.

Product specs such as weight may vary slightly from racquet to racquet to what is advertised due to the manufacturing process.

To determine your grip size without using a racquet, measure from the tip of your ring finger to the major fold crease in your palm. Write down the distance to the nearest 8th of an inch. This is your standard grip size.

Grip size palm measurements for tennis racquets

If you fall somewhere between the measurements, it is recommended to choose the smaller grip size as you can always build the grip size up using an overgrip (for a slight increase) or a grip build-up sleeve (for a half or full size increase). The grip measurements above factor in the pre-installed factory grip.
