Babolat adds another chapter to the most controlled and surgical member of the Pure Aero family. Formerly called the Pure Aero VS, the Pure Aero 98 gives big hitters a powerfully precise weapon. Compared to the standard Pure Aero, this racquet features a more compact 98 sq. in. head along with a denser string pattern and a thinner, more flexible beam. For 2023 Babolat adds NF² Technology which uses flax inserts at 3 & 9 in the head to soften ball impact. Babolat also updates its FSI Spin technology with slightly tighter string spacing. The result is greater control when maximizing stroke speed in the service of power and spin. With some nice updates to the response, the Babolat Pure Aero 98 delivers the spin and power of a modern player's racquet but with the control and feel needed to fully engage with your targets.
