Babolat Pure Strike 16x19 3rd gen Racquet Review

[@mooboo6603]

What a beautiful indoor court

[@nathanmiller6051]

Thank you for this review, I was thinking of buying the USA paint job version of this racquet but not sure about string tension for synthetic gut, what is your recommendation? Thanks

[@Tennisrally_]

That will be up to you, go with what you normally string at and then change up or down depending on how you feel.

[@JessiloOlis]

Great video as always. I have request to ask. Can you pls put the 98sq.in version of this racket side by side with each other to see the headsize actual difference (if doable). thanks in advance.

[@Tennisrally_]

This is the 98 sq.in version in the 16x19 pattern

[@dmf30]

interested in comparing pure drive vs. pure strike 3gen for a 4.5 club player aggressive baseliner- in great shape but on the wrong side of 50!!

[@andrewng6044]

Hey thanks for the video! I am currently demoing the Pure strike and use a 2HB. Do you feel the 98 sq impacts your BH since the head is smaller? I have always used a pure aero. Also Do you feel that there is enough spin potential on the strike ? I am looking to get more control and better placement of my shots.

[@Tennisrally_]

I used a 95 sq.in before so it didn’t impact me much, it can definitely be harder since the sweetspot gets smaller. The pure strike has extremely good spin potential, it's controlled but still powerful and spin friendly

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

Hello man! 👋🏼 Did you play the first gen? Would love a comparison! Cheers mate!

[@Tennisrally_]

I've only played with this generation, from what I know it's a great update!

[@gabrielmezey3324]

Hello I would like to know if the racquet is easy or hard to maneuver?

[@Tennisrally_]

I had no problems but the swingweight is pretty high so it could be difficult for more inexperienced players

[@gabrielmezey3324]

@@Tennisrally_ okay thanks for the reply what about the stiffness, did you have any arm fatigue after play ?

[@Tennisrally_]

Not really, the 66 RA of this racquet is about as high as I can go. If you have problems with your arm or shoulder using this racquet might not be so smart

[@gabrielmezey3324]

@@Tennisrally_ I don’t currently so it sounds good thank you 🙏

[@jjj_kkk7354]

This pure strike or head graphene 360+ speed mp? What's your opinion?

[@Tennisrally_]

Personally I would choose the Pure Strike when it comes to how it plays but I prefer a lower stiffness like the Speed. I like some more control and precision which I did not find in the Speed MP, especially precision

[@jjj_kkk7354]

@@Tennisrally_ thanks. What about spin and power?

[@Tennisrally_]

Speed MP has both more power and spin, larger head size and thicker beam

[@jjj_kkk7354]

@@Tennisrally_ thanks. Great reviews!

[@vassilisk.5067]

Pure strike is much easier for me instead of Speed Mp which is difficult racquet, but I concern a bit about the stiffness of Babolat. I didn’t have any issue when I tried I have to say!

[@tahmidtajwar4596]

How would you compare this to Head Gravity Tour / MP?

[@Tennisrally_]

They are pretty alike but the Pure Strike has a higher swingweight which will be harder to swing and maneuver but will be more stable with less weight. The Gravity is easier on your arm with lower stiffness and a bit more forgiving off center with the bigger head size

[@tahmidtajwar4596]

@@Tennisrally_ gravity tour is powerful right?

[@Tennisrally_]

I haven’t actually tried the Tour, just the MP and Pro. But I don’t think the Tour is that powerful since it does have a 18x20 pattern

[@yourbedroompunk7601]

you should review the 18x20 version

[@Tennisrally_]

Coming soon....

[@yourbedroompunk7601]

@@Tennisrally_ thank you, mate!

[@johnrb9397]

how does it compare to technifibre 305 rs?

[@Tennisrally_]

More power, spin and less precision. It is a bit stiffer and will be more forgiving (The Pure Strike). The Tfight is definitely a more controlled option and well adapted for flatter hitting

[@yourbedroompunk7601]

good stuff man

[@luizgomes888]

Great video

[@briankim1014]

You should do a pure drive review!

[@Tennisrally_]

It's coming, hold tight!
