Hello everybody,
I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum, but this is my first message
I am 47 years old, started tennis more than 40 years ago, currently playing once a week. I would say I am a good intermediate / advanced player, I like to hit heavy groundstrokes with moderate spin.
I was playing for a long time with a Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, it was fine when i was younger. Then with time, i wanted more control and switched in 2015 to a Babolat Pure Strike 98 16x19 1st generation (the black one with red stripes). Now, getting closer to 50 I am looking for something a little more forgiving than a 98, with a tiny bit more power and easier on the elbow. What would be from the Babolat lineup the racket between a Pure Strike 98 and a Pure Drive? Am i right by thinking that the Pure Strike 4th Generation 100 would be that racket?
And probably the 100 16x19 is more powerful than the 100 16x20? I am still not sure what are the pros/cons of those 2 similar Pure Strike 100.
Thanks for your advices,
Jean-Thomas
