The Babolat Pure Aero 98 2023 Tennis Racquet returns to a cosmetic reminscient of the Aeropro Drive, in addition to a handful of performance updates. Tons of players have fallen in love with the Aeromodular beam over the years. The design integrates the bumper and grommets together with an aerodynamic beam for more racquet head speed and spin. The Pure Aero 98 replaces the Pure Aero VS, and it features the same controlled 16x20 string pattern and a 10.8 ounce unstrung weight. While the previous Pure Aero VS featured SWX Pure Feel for vibration dampening, this 98 model drops that technology in favor of NF2 -Tech. Flax inserts are inserted at strategic locations for shock absorption but without a loss of feel to enhance the playing experience. The idea is to provide dampening without overly muting the ball at contact. The Pure Aero 98 is the heaviest model in the Pure Aero lineup. The denser string pattern and slimmer cross section add plenty of control, and the NF2 -Tech refines the feel for advanced players.   Features: -16x20 string pattern and the slimmer beam create the most control oriented Pure Aero model. -Flax inserts at strategic locations provide dampening, without a loss of feel. -Aeromodular design assists in creating racquet head speed for explosive spin.   Check out the latest racquets from your favorite brands in our "Top Tennis Racquets Blog"
