Blade 100, Speed MP, Ezone 100, Pure Strike 98

Hii does anyone have experience with playing with one or several of these frames? Im switching from a Pure Drive. I love the Pure Drive for the power but I find it can sail long a lot and can be launchy if im not in the right position. I would like a bit more control and some comfort too.

22 girl who has always played with either Pure Drive or Pure Aero. Fairly high level/complete player. Very tall and thin, so can hit hard because of my height but I dont have that raw strength.

Do you know your level in UTR? Also what string setup did you use in the pure drive?

https://www.tennisct.com/rating-system here is a chart. I don't think there is anything wrong with your string setup. If you really wanna stick with the pure drive you could try tension 1 kg higher. I dont know how far out your balls land.

For me I have most experience with the speed mp. It's like a slightly more controlled and comfortable pure drive/pure aero. It's worth trying out. The grip shape is different than Babolat, I would go one grip shape bigger with Head when you try a demo.

Hey! I played and owned all of the above, except the Ezone 100 (although I have played with the 98). Agree that the Speed MP is worth a try since it is a more controlled / comfortable PD/PA (though similar control to the PA98, which I would say is slightly more powerful than the Speed MP). The Blade 100 is going to be less powerful than all the racquets you mention, but more power/forgiveness than the Blade 98, and is a really good racquet. The Pure Strike 98 is pretty powerful I would say relative to the Blade and probs than the Speed MP, but can create arm/shoulder problems (it did for me - I went away from it because of that and I had trouble feeling confident swinging all out with it). The Ezone 100 is the most powerful frame probably you're listing, but I think has a tighter string pattern than your PD.

You forgot the strike 100. It’s right on your wheelhouse. And will feel more familiar to you than a strike 98.
And I have owned all of the sticks you mentioned.
