Babolat Pure Strike 100 Gen4 - Full Technical Overview

The Babolat Pure Strike 100 Gen4 continues the series' emphasis on control and precision while introducing a more accessible 100in² head size suited for a wider range of players. Built for those who prefer a connected, stable feel at impact, this generation features updated frame technologies that enhance ball pocketing, responsiveness, and overall consistency.

With its 300g weight and approximately 295 swingweight, the Pure Strike 100 Gen4 provides a balanced mix of maneuverability and stability for all-court performance. The open 16/19 string pattern supports effective spin production, while the 21 / 23 / 21mm beam architecture delivers controlled power and dependable directional accuracy. A measured stiffness of 68 RA contributes to a crisp response without excessive vibration.

The frame's 320mm balance enables quick acceleration on groundstrokes and confident handling at the net, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced players who value precision-oriented shotmaking. Combined with its 685mm length and 645 cm² (100in²) head size, the racquet sits comfortably between traditional control frames and modern power-leaning designs.
