Its sleek and elegant design makes the Babolat Boost Strike ideal for the ambitious novice looking for an easy-to-play tennis racquet with maneuverability and power. Players looking for power, precision and spin should love the Boost Strike, one of the better values in Babolat's racquet line. At 10.5 ounces strung, this racquet is light enough for both beginners and rising juniors, but it should also work well for intermediate adults looking for explosive acceleration. With its aerodynamic beam, whippy feel and open 16x19 string pattern, the Boost Srike offers all the ingredients needed for generating effective spin. The 102 square inch head is forgiving, lively and surprisingly precise. With their time-tested Woofer grommet system, Babolat adds some extra comfort and power to the stringbed - a welcomed feature considering the firm (and powerful) beam. Players looking for a high level of all-around playability should give this user-friendly racquet a serious look.
