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. \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, 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. The fact that it's even more comfortable than its predecessor is a nice bonus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeadsize: 97 sq. in. \n\u003cbr\u003eWeight Unstrung: 310g\/(10.9 oz.) \n\u003cbr\u003eWeight Strung: 325g\/(11.5 oz.) \n\u003cbr\u003eLength: 27\" \n\u003cbr\u003eString Pattern: 16 x 20 \n\u003cbr\u003eStiffness\/Flex: 67 +\/- 3 \n\u003cbr\u003eBeam Width: 21mm \/ 22mm \/ 21mm \n\u003cbr\u003eBalance: 31cm\/(12.2 in.) - 7 Pts Head Light \n\u003cbr\u003eSwing Weight: 295 \n\u003cbr\u003ePower Level: Low-Medium \n\u003cbr\u003eSwing Speed: Medium-Fast \n\u003cbr\u003eSwing Type: Medium-Full \n\u003cbr\u003eRacquet\/Player Type: Advanced \n\u003cbr\u003eComposition\/Construction: Graphite \n\u003cbr\u003eGrommet Technology: FSI Control (Frame String Interaction) \n\u003cbr\u003eFrame Technology: NF2 Tech, Control From Technology, SWX Pure Feel \n\u003cbr\u003eRecommended String: RPM Blast \/ Touch VS \n\u003cbr\u003eGrip Type: Babolat Leather Grip \n\u003cbr\u003eColors: Carbon Grey\/Fluorescent Orange \n\u003cbr\u003eRecommended String Tension: 48-57 lbs. \n\u003cbr\u003eMisc: No Cover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babolat","offers":[{"title":"Carbon Gray \/ 2","offer_id":52061357343031,"sku":"MZBT-GRY-2","price":312.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon Gray \/ 3","offer_id":52061357375799,"sku":"MZBT-GRY-3","price":312.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Carbon Gray \/ 4","offer_id":52061357408567,"sku":"MZBT-GRY-4","price":312.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5605\/files\/babolat-pure-strike-97-2025-carbon-gray-hit-a-double-357.jpg?v=1777456459","url":"https:\/\/hitadouble.com\/products\/babolat-pure-strike-97-2025-carbon-gray-new","provider":"HIT a Double","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
