Introducing the most surgical member of the Pure Aero family

Babolat adds another chapter to the most controlled and surgical member of the Pure Aero family. Formerly called the Pure Aero VS, thePure Aero 98gives 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 withNF Technology, which uses flax inserts in the handle and upper hoop to soften ball impact. Babolat also updates itsFSI Spintechnology 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.
