305 g and 98 sq in: a current Pure Strike option to compare if you want more predictable placement on committed swings.
The Tennis Shop editorial · Manufacturer specification source checked 7 October 2026
Who should demo it?
Demo the Pure Strike 98 18×20 if you want more predictable placement on committed swings. Keep the strings and grip setup close to your current racket so you are comparing the frame, not a completely different setup.
What to watch for
The smaller head asks for cleaner contact. Compare defensive depth and off-centre shots as well as your best full swings.
A useful on-court test
Use comparable strings, tension and grip size. Test rally depth, firm returns, second serves and quick exchanges, then finish with points after at least 30 minutes. Take your current racket as the baseline.
Match the exact generation, grip size and stringing status. For an unstrung frame, add the string set, labour and delivery before comparing the ready-to-play cost.
