My Pure Storm Tours:
My Pure Control Tour Swirlys (2001):
Had my Swirlys custom painted black and with initials in throat. Absolute beasts. They play crisper and are stiffer than my Pure Storms Tours. But feedback is not brassy/tinny sort you would expect from a Babolat.
I am not a fan of the last generation of Pure Control Tours. Not enough swingweight and the feedback is that typical hollow/tinny Babolat-like for me. The Pure Storms Tours and earlier generation Pure Control Tours were amazing racquets by Babolat. They annihilate the ball by comparison, have a substantial feel and hit a heavier ball for me.
Personally, I would skip the last generation of Pure Controls altogether and look for Storms if you want a softer playing stick or earlier Pure Controls if you want a stiffer and crisper playing stick (latter being harder to find in good condition). But as with everything else, it is all pretty subjective.
