Babolat Pure Aero 98 Gen 9 Racket Demo
Featuring the smallest head size, tightest string spacing, and thinnest beam in the Pure Aero family, the Pure Aero 98 delivers truly impressive command over the ball. As such, it gives aggressive players the confidence to swing big and hit their targets with pace. In addition to its controllable power, the Pure Aero 98 packs a sub-325 swingweight, giving it easy acceleration on groundies and quick handling at net. It also shines on serve, where the combination of power and accuracy makes it easy to keep your opponent off balance. For 2026, Babolat reengineers the geometry of the shaft to reduce wind drag, giving this speedy racquet an even more explosive feel, making it easier to whip up spin, generate pace, or reset the point with an outstretched flick. Other updates include the latest version of NF2 Tech, a dampening technology that uses flax fibers in strategic locations to provide a softer, more arm-friendly ride. As with the previous generation, this update has FSI Spin Technology, which combines Babolat's time-tested Woofer system with strategically placed Spin Grommets to increase dwell time and string movement, generating greater spin and a more responsive feel on angled contact. Ultimately, this update to the Pure Aero 98 continues to be an obvious option for experienced players who want a spin-friendly weapon that rewards full swings with impressive accuracy. The boost in speed is a nice bonus.
