Babolat Pure Strike 18/20 Gen 4

Features and Playability

• Control and Precision: The dense 18x20 string pattern provides exceptional directional control and a lower launch angle, allowing aggressive players to swing out with confidence without fear of overhitting.
• Enhanced Feel and Comfort: The 4th generation incorporates NF²-Tech, which uses natural flax fibers in the shaft to filter out unwanted vibrations and create a softer, more muted sound and feel upon impact, improving comfort compared to previous versions.
• Stability: Control Frame Technology blends a square-section frame shape for stability with a more elliptical structure for dynamism, resulting in a solid and stable feel, particularly against heavy hitters.
• User Profile: This racquet is best suited for advanced players with full, fast swings who value precision and stability. It is endorsed by professional players like Cameron Norrie.
• Power: While control is its main feature, playtesters noted it provides enough mass-based pop and power for a control racquet, especially on flat serves and deep groundstrokes.
