The Babolat Pure Strike 305g 18/20 is a racquet built for players who demand maximum precision, tight control, and a laser-sharp connection to the ball. Designed with the iconic 18×20 string pattern, this model delivers a uniquely firm and stable response that advanced players will immediately appreciate, especially those who like stepping inside the baseline and dictating points with fast, confident swings. At 305 grams unstrung, it strikes an ideal balance between solidity and maneuverability, ensuring you get the mass needed for strong ball penetration without feeling overly stiff in hand.
What sets the Pure Strike series apart is Babolat’s blend of classic control-focused DNA with modern playability updates. This model integrates Control Frame Technology, which mixes the traditional square beam for stability with an elliptical structure that enhances power access and responsiveness. The result is a racquet that remains incredibly composed during high-speed exchanges while still offering enough energy return to finish points efficiently. Whether you’re redirecting pace, flattening out groundstrokes, or threading precise lines on approach shots, this racquet gives you the confidence to swing fully without losing accuracy.
The 18/20 pattern is particularly noticeable on flatter, aggressive shots where directional control is essential. It tightens the ball trajectory, helping experienced players keep depth without sacrificing placement. Volleys feel crisp and connected, offering a compact response that is excellent for quick hand exchanges and stable net play. On serve, the racquet rewards clean mechanics, giving excellent consistency on flat serves and reliable placement on slices and wide angles.
Comfort has also been enhanced thanks to C² PURE FEEL, a material integrated into the frame that filters vibrations more effectively than older Pure Strike generations. It maintains that signature controlled feel while reducing unnecessary harshness, especially on off-center contact. Combined with the consistent response of the 18/20 pattern, players get a feedback-rich racquet that never feels unpredictable.
Aesthetically, the white, red, and black color scheme delivers a clean, modern look that stands out on court. It’s bold without being distracting—perfectly matching the racquet’s character: precise, confident, and performance-driven. For players who value control over raw explosiveness and prefer a stable, connected feel at impact, the Babolat Pure Strike 305g 18/20 is a true specialist tool. If your game relies on timing, accuracy, and clean mechanics, this racquet becomes an extension of your arm, giving you the trust and stability needed to execute your patterns at a high level. It’s built for competitors who want control they can rely on every single point.
