Babolat Pure Strike 97 Tennis Racquet

Unfiltered control. Elite precision. No room for error — just excellence.

The Babolat Pure Strike 97 is the most demanding and rewarding racquet in the 2025 Pure Strike lineup. Designed for high-level players who insist on pinpoint accuracy and maximum feedback, this frame features a 97 square-inch head and a 21mm beam, giving you the thinnest, cleanest, and most connected response in the series.

This racquet is all about intentional ball striking. The smaller head size tightens the sweet spot, rewarding players who consistently hit cleanly and punish anything short. You don’t get free power or easy forgiveness here — what you get is the ability to place the ball exactly where you want, how you want, with total confidence.

It’s a frame that encourages precision footwork, early preparation, and sharp technique. Updated with the latest Pure Strike feel innovations, it stays plush and stable even under the heaviest pace.

Who It’s For:
Competitive, high-level players (think 4.5+ and up) who want maximum precision, classic feel, and complete control. You should reach for the 97 if you have the timing and technique to consistently hit the sweet spot — and you value placement and court craft over forgiveness or power.

Why choose the 97 over the 98s or 100s?
Choose the 97 if you're after a more surgical racquet with a smaller sweet spot and a lower power level — perfect for counter-punchers, volley specialists, and all-court tacticians who want to shape every point with intention. It’s the racquet for players who don’t need help from their frame — they just need it to stay out of the way and deliver what they demand.
