Babolat Pure Aero 98 X2 Gen 9 Tennis Racquet (2026)

The Pure Aero 98 is specifically crafted for aggressive power players who strike the ball off the bounce. Its more aerodynamic frame core accelerates the racquet even further just before contact, producing increased spin. The flax fibers in the frame offer an exceptional feel at impact. The new Pure Aero 98 is tailored for players who wish to hit without compromise, overpowering their opponents with powerful topspin shots.

Benefits

• Spin: The new frame design reduces drag by approximately 6% for enhanced aerodynamics and increased spin.
• Feel: Experience a pure feel at impact with the incorporation of flax fibers in the frame.
• Precision: A tightened string pattern offers the perfect balance of power and control to help you dominate every rally.

Technologies

• AEROMODULAR4: The optimized aerodynamic frame, with a reworked core and integrated plastic parts, reduces drag and improves racquet head speed for faster acceleration, increased spin, and more powerful shots.
• FSI SPIN: A specific string pattern combined with Spin Grommets at 6 and 12 o’clock optimizes string movement for powerful, controlled spin and more dynamic shots.
• NF²-TECH 2.0: Version 2.0 of natural flax fiber technology uses a 100% unidirectional fabric to ensure superior mechanical strength and optimal vibration filtration.
