[asdad1109]

Does anyone know what Babolat this is? Not on market, so wondering if it is something forthcoming.. or just a player paint job. Link to pic is below

Not totally sure but it likeslike this is the Pure strike that was meant to be...which got overran by the project 17 paint Scheme. I had seen one of those in person last year.

 

[Moonarse]

it has a aeroish/puredrivish hoop with a wierd throat ending. If wasn't for the release of the new PD I would have guessed PD for sure!

I aint talking about the PJ. the frame itself is a never seen one, witch is more interesting that the diferent PJ.

 

[mavsman149]

More importantly who is this Fanny Stollar........

 

[EdMcMush]

it looks like one of those Babolat "Boost" models. but im sure its not that

 

[6onza]

Looks like a special edition of the Pure drive..

 

[thefederman]

my guess would be pure drive vs thats coming out next year

 

[uk_skippy]

The original colourway for the new Strike was to be similar to the original. Having seen one, it looks really good, and I preferred it to the white. So maybe Babolat are going to release it; like Wilson did with their ltd colours on Blades/Burns etc.

More importantly who is this Fanny Stollar........

And who has her number? :')

 

[lacoster]

Well, she's been using the current PJ of a Pure Drive Lite for 6-7 years now since juniors, so maybe a PJ or special edition of it? She has all the marketing assets to bring attention to a new racquet, so maybe it's a test...

 

[mavsman149]

And who has her number? :')

She's really cute for sure

It does have the slash of color on the throat like the strike. The symmetrical stripes on black paint remind me of the ‘prototype’ that Sock played with for a short time.

I have the original concept of the current pure strike, and it different from the one seen here. The original concept had one side with grey stripes, one side with orange stripes. Check out this post from azallabouttennis

He said it was going to be released this fall. Could it be a Pure Strike PLAY? Usually the orange rubber grip ring is seen on the PLAY rackets.

Hi All,

I have an email in to our tour player manager, and will let you know what I find out. I have no idea what it is either.

Dayummm that Black 'n Red look good!

 

[jarko111]

the original strike was always the most beautiful racquet.

 

[Devil_dog]

Looks to me like a painted up Pure Aero.

Similar to the prototype Rafa was using before the PA was brought to market.

 

[smalahove]

It has a different cosmetic; look at the throat, which is analog to the new PS line.
Looks like a hybrid between the new and old PS, with a little PA thrown in

Honestly it looks like a Pure Drive to me

Same. Doesnt look like it has the strike head or throat.

It's a "Strike". Either it's the new Strike coming from out next year, a Strike play, or the new Pure Drive VS. From the angle it may look big but I'm sure she's using the 100sq" version & with the FSI tech. She has endorsed the PS P17 since the USO I believe. https://scontent-dft4-2.xx.fbcdn.ne...=0557cba68e7f47513edc18a0fac5f35f&oe=5A405470

From that angle, then i definitely looks like these exact rackets. These are Wilson Burns paint like this.

Unless she switched to Wilson? Is that her racquet though? It has her initials. She also has a new range of Babolat bags which is black, floral red/carol and white. It has a skyline of some sort on the white area which adds a nice touch to it.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

And who has her number? :')

So, any info on the fanny club?

 

[torre_dresen]

No number yet.

 

[A_Instead]

Is it orange or red with the black? cause I saw a red and black racket with same paint scheme at US Open female qualifying match.. but it did NOT have this unique throat design..

 

[jmacdaununder2]

No number yet.

Getting a hold of Fanny is proving as difficult as always.

 

[torre_dresen]

Oh Fanny, you came and you served without breaking... When I needed that win, oh Fanny

Any idea on what the "FS" stands for?

[RafaBabolat]

Her initials?

Sure, but I feel it means more than that... I may be completely wrong, it may just be her initials

@lidoazndiabloboi, do you know that these racquets were for specifically her, or just "Pure Strikes" you found?

Ah I see, when I first saw it I thought FSI but realized it lacked the I.

 

[RafaBabolat]

kinda similar in pj, but different mold. This might have been the prototype P17 pjs @moonshot

[Chipnkick]

How does she play with nails that long?

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Oh Fanny, you came and you served without breaking... When I needed that win, oh Fanny

I was standing on the service line,
Leant away when the volley was mine,
And you needed to poach, Oh Fanny!!

 

[Antónis]

Her initials?

Fanny's Strikes, maybe...

 

[lidoazndiabloboi]

Here's some more Fanny!

 

[fandrade]

Here's some more Fanny!

honestly sting pattern on the top picture looks more ope and the head seems more like a pure strike

 

[TR3NT]

The things I would do to have my pure strikes in the black paintjob rather then the white!!

 

[Dae18]

I like the white, but I rather have a minimum of it instead of the whole thing. Black and white would’ve been nice with a hint of the coral. Didn’t know why they went with more of an solar orange instead of keeping the coral.

Not a Pure Strike user myself but I have always thought the black/red version of the Pure Strike was one of the most beautiful racquets babolat have ever released.

That and the OG APD.

Dang!! Still with the white overgrip.

Are babolat even continuing on Babolat Play rackets though? Thought they're dropping then off?

 

[NickJ]

Dang!! Still with the white overgrip.

There's an overgrip? There's a racket??

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Actually, now that you mention it there's no actual visual proof that long rounded white object that she's holding is actually a racquet after alI; I think it might be a hair curler, or perhaps a complexion enhancer?

Hey bring that pic back!

 

[Charlie Mewborne]

i’m pretty sure she is playing with a Wilson Burn. i say that because on her instagram account, in her latest pic, she is holding a Wilson Burn in her hand. i would assume she had that Babolat pj because she might have been under contract or something still.
