The original Pure Strike 98 18x20 (in May, a 16x19 version will be available) is joined by a 100 square inch version using a 16x19 string pattern, and the heavier Pure Strike Tour 98 18x20. Whew! That’s a lot of tech for a player’s stick, and Babolat isn’t done with the Pure Strike yet. Babolat’s legendary Woofer technology is improved with the new Response Woofer, injecting PEBAX material into the grommets, allowing for increased dwell time and power from the string bed, grommets and frame. Evo Beam is a variable-width profile (21mm at tip and handle, and 23mm in the center of the head) which reduces frame torque at impact for more control and forgiveness. X-Sider technology increases the width of the frame at the center of the string bed, effectively increasing the sweet spot by 10% for added forgiveness on off-center hits. Hybrid Frame Construction combines with Babolat’s Stabilizer Technolgy, using a stiffer carbon fiber in the frame for improved stability and control. Starting off with Hybrid Frame Construction, Babolat has combined square and elliptical (aerodynamic) geometries in the Pure Strike’s shaft design, allowing for added racquet speed and reduced flex for power and precision, and the best response at impact of any frame in its segment.
However, what hasn’t been discussed are the amazing number of technological advances Babolat has built into it. Racquets: Make a Pure Strike The Babolat Pure Strike frame has been talked about and photographed for awhile now in the hands of French star Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. RPM Dual is a 2-compound string – poly and titanium-based – to provide durability along with a firmer feel and improved tension maintenance. The RPM octagonal shape provides high level of spin, and its unique compound produces great power and a unique feel. The ultimate Babolat poly string is still Rafael Nadal’s choice: RPM Blast.
RPM Team makes poly more comfortable by injecting micro air bubbles into the mix for more flexibility and shock absorption, and is now available in a new pink color for all you female string breakers out there.

Pro Hurricance Tour takes spin to another level with an octagonal shape. An old standby remains in Pro Hurricane, one of Babolat’s original monofilament poly strings, and still popular among juniors and college players. String breakers looking for durability with control fit squarely into Babolat’s Profile C, and have several excellent string choices. Those looking for “a little bit more” will be more attracted to Babolat’s two gut/poly hybrids, Pro Hurricane Tour + VS, or RPM Blast + VS, providing poly spin with gut’s ultimate power and comfort. Pro Hurricane Tour + Excel gives more value-conscious hybrid players a solid, spin-producing poly and a comfortable, powerful multifilament synthetic to make a solid-performing string face. Starting with the new SG Spiraltek, a polyamide solid-core synthetic gut with an added Spiraltek filament for power and comfort, Babolat then branches out into three hybrid string combinations, matching poly with performance synthetics or gut. If you break strings once in a while, and are looking for a versatile, well-rounded string job, Babolat has not forgotten you. Profile B is where a lot of players will find themselves. The newest and most intriguing performance string, however, is Origin, a polyamide monofilament (single-strand) string that promises increased power and comfort, along with the spin advantage that monofilament strings provide.

Starting with solid-core Babolat Synthetic Gut, you can peruse their outstanding Excel line (Excel, Excel French Open and Excel Power), the reasonably-priced and playable Addiction series, the ever-popular VS Natural Gut series (VS Touch, VS Team, and Tonic +). If you seldom break strings and desire more power and comfort, you fit squarely into Profile A, and have a myriad of choices in performance strings. Strings and String Profiles: We know: “Profiling is bad!” However, when it comes to deciding what the best string is for your game, Babolat’s String profiles will help you make better decisions. They have also developed new strings along with a system to match string and player types more efficiently. Not one to be outdone in the technology department, Babolat has come up with new frames featuring improved technology. Babolat Helps You Choose the Right String (and More)
