Babolat pure strike 100 3rd gen review11/22/2023 All I can say is that they are both worth trying, but I would also demo the Yonex VCore Pro97 HD as I liked it much better than the Blades, but not as much as the PS Tour. The power comes from a higher 69 RA stiffness and a bit higher swingweight for its weight class. It stands somewhere between the Pure Drive and the Head Speed rackets, or maybe even the Blades. Since you already play with Wilson, maybe your experience will be different. POWER The racket had plenty of power, which is to be expected with Babolat these days. I also served poorly as I could not generate the pace that I was used to on flat serves and the spin seemed low on 2nd serves. Babolat Pure Strike 100 3rd Gen Racquet Review Weight, 11.1 oz, 315 gm Balance Point, 12.99 in 33 cm, 4pts HL Construction, 21mm / 23mm /21mm Composition. I did not hit BHs well or slice well with it. I did not like the feel as it felt mushy - one step beyond muted. I demo‘d the PS 16x19 Gen3 also, but the PST is more stable, more headlight and has a better feel.įor me, the Blade demo felt too head-heavy and lacked power. The launch angle was a bit different as Gen1 Tour is 18x20 and Gen3 Tour is 16x19, but I adjusted quickly. But, I was previously playing with the Pure Strike Tour Gen1 and it was an easier switch for me to get the Gen3 which is more comfortable than the Gen1, but plays very similar otherwise. I demo’d both the Blades (both string patterns) and the Pure Strike Tour Gen3 and liked the PST much better. However, even if Thiem is known to try different strings throughout the year, I highly doubt he changed his racquet length mid-season.As you can see, the responses are all over the place and you should demo both yourself. Some stringer will be able to confirm that. Maybe he changed to an extended frame with this new version. Regarding the 27,25in frame that’s the fitst time I’m reading about this. Most here know that, but some still believe that once you get there (Top100) you have to forget all the practice time of your last 20 years playing tennis and move to the secret prostock frames. Players don’t just happen to start playing with new magical frame once they reach the top 100. The players switching from other companies can sometimes ask for frames that play similar to their former brand and will have access to “pro stock” frames that are built for customization. Older players that used to play with frames that are discontinued will have access to these older frames. Young players tend to play close to retail frames. So in the end, no he is not playing with a store frame, but in his case it’s pretty close. Now, that doesn’t mean he’s using a retail frame that you can pick at any store as his frame are certainly hand picked with his desired specs, then the grip modified, any needed weight added and custom graphics added (I don’t know if he has any). It’s hard of course to tell of the layup is the same but it’s reasonable to think that if Thiem was involved in the development of the frame that he is using a retail version. Stringers at tournaments can sometimes tell if the frame feel lile the retail version. Then it seems early this year Thiem moved to the 3rd generation. It was just a pj over the 1st generation PureStrike, that’s a known fact. He didn’t switch to the 2nd generation as the grooves (I don’t remember how Babolat calls them) from the 1st gen were very visible in pictures. He played a modified PS 18x20 in the sense that he has a modified grip based on the Head shape and of course the extra lead visible in pictures. That’s the official story anyway and if real, Babolat has struck gold to land one of the best player outside the big three. Very good control for a 300 grams racquet Plays very well with MSV Focus Hex Ultra white 1.20 mm, strung at 21 kilograms or 46 pounds. Raket Tenis Tennis Racket Babolat Pure Strike Team 3rd Gen.
